Atleast he tried.
Part of me does wish she would reject his feelings to possibly teach him not to overvalue on one person and focusing on himself at times.
It's all or noth kazuya. At this point there is no real reason not to confess. Even if hes a fraid he will be rejected and ruin what they have now, it's better then waiting until she actually goes with another guy and you'll have closure.
Also I feel most will drop the stories if he denies it again.
