"I'm actually, I didn't intend to lie, and I'm so, so re-lieved" , says the narrator. He tells us that he was afraid that if he told him the truth, he'd be creeped out, and that's why he kept lying to him. He admits that he's not the kind of guy who would get out walking around knowing his real age. He says he likes aw and doesn't cry. He's sorry that he lied to you, but he can't bear the thought that you're going to break up with him . He wants to be manly, he says, and he'll do whatever it takes to make that happen. But, he admits, it's too much fun to be with you. He apologizes for fixing his age on his own, and says that if you love him when he is 28 too, then please let me be your boyfriend. On that day, itsuki called to him and charmed him with his honesty, sincerity, and goodness. The narrator promises to do the same thing with him this time
