The way OP denies the fact that Reina confessed to Kumiko first baffles me.

I think the whole point of the author with this novel was to show different forms of love. There are plenty of them, all different from each other, and talking about all that in a post would exceed by much the character limit.

What Reina feels for Taki is "hatsukoi", which means "puppy love", something it's bound to  fade as Reina matures. Meanwhile, Reina's feelings for Kumiko are way deeper. Their relationship is ideal, with an attraction (inryoku) that exceeds simple "love". They will evolve, their paths will grow closer or further away (Kumiko even dating Shuuichi), but if the author has what it takes (and it seems she does since Kumiko breaks with Shuuichi), Kumiko and Reina will end up together or it will be hinted they will.

Kumiko and Reina are tha main characters of a LN about love, written by an author whose main topic is love. How their relationship evolves is the real main topic of the story. Reina will get over her crush like Kumiko got over Shuuichi. I hope the author doesn't disappoint us. I know she won't.
