A clue

We get an inkling that they had feelings for each other even as far back as high school, but neither wanted to confess first. It's a difficult situation. Things drastically change between friends when there's a love confession and it's one-sided. And even when there's mutual feelings, you start asking:Should I preserve the friendship and not act on these feelings, or do I take the leap and potentially have the relationship progress to the next level (an even closer relationship)?There's no easy answer, and both of them keep avoiding addressing the elephant in the room.
