"Even If I'm Not the Closest"

A heartfelt and bittersweet R&B love ballad about feelings for someone truly special met through everyday work life.

What began with simple greetings slowly turned ordinary days into something meaningful.
Just having her there brought color and warmth to a once repetitive routine.

The feelings were never returned.
Even so, it became a love so genuine that all he could wish for was her happiness.

"Even if I'm not the closest one, I still want to be on your side."

Though they could not become lovers, the song gently portrays a quiet kind of love - one that continues to support from afar without asking for anything in return.

With SHUGA's delicate lyrics and emotional melodies, this touching track captures the beauty of mature unrequited love and selfless affection.
