ボーイッシュ女友達と一線越えてしまった件

My friend Isumi was about to get married. As a pre-wedding celebration, we decided to have a house party at my place. We'd been best friends since school, and since she was so boyish back then, I treated her like a guy friend. But when I saw Isumi again after so long, she still had traces of her old self, yet she'd become feminine and cute. As the drinks flowed, Isumi finally spoke up. “You know... I liked you until around XX...” I couldn't hide my shock at this sudden confession. “Do I look cute now?” ‘Yeah, you do...’ “Then... can you hold me?” ‘But...’ “Anything but kissing is fine... Anything... It's my way of drawing the line...” Is this what they mean by “crossing the line”? And after crossing that line, can we still be friends... Settling the lingering feelings from their student days, they move forward. A bittersweet, sensual night for the two former best friends.
