From the spin-off novel Sound! Euphonium: True Stories from the Kitauji High School Concert Band published April 2018, full of short stories

Chapter 3
The chapter begins with a letter from Kaori Nakaseko to Asuka Tanaka the day before their graduation. Kaori notes that one of the only things she regrets was not responding to Asuka's question. The chapter then transitions to partway through Asuka and Kaori's first year. The two discuss the problems in the band, and predict the possibility of the Kitauji concert band schism. Later, Kaori confesses her love for Asuka, though not wholly clear whether platonic or romantic. The chapter transitions back to Kaori's letter, where she continues to profess her feelings for Asuka.

you can read the whole translated chapter here

a part of her letter says:

I want to always be with you, Asuka. I want to be your number one person. That’s why I’m showing my courage by writing this letter. It feels like my writing’s gotten rougher. Usually don’t I write prettier words? I really do.
Asuka. I’m happy I met you, Asuka. Thank you for becoming my friend. And if you’d let me, I ask that you please stay with me.
Asuka. Really, what could I write? I’m only writing your name and that wouldn’t convey my feelings at all. In short, no, it’s weird to say in short, but I’m going to be going to nurses’ school from the spring onward. You said that you would be going to a nearby university. And so, if, and really if, you’d like to, Ah, what’s this? Tears are falling onto my hand. Sorry If you’d like to Asuka, why don’t we live together?
I’ve been fascinated about splitting rooms with you for a while. Of course, I’m not saying the impossible. It’s just that I thought it’d decrease our living expenses. I’ll be waiting your response. Even if you refuse, please give me a response. Or rather, if I don’t hear a response, I’ll go ask you directly.

yes, in the first parts of the movie but they broke up in the middle cause they both want to focus more on club, school, and future(uni stuff or smth cause they'll be 3rd years soon)

Did they break up for good or was it just a temporary thing?

Feels like they dated just to piss off yuri fans, I mean, these are the kind who would make Liz to Aoi and then say is just friendship... I feel like you're totally right with Asuka, but the fact that they can't just admit it, it piss me off so I can't enjoy this franchise wholeheartedly.

I just feel pity for people who still cling to this series for its non-existent yuri. Stick to the doujins, stop trying to find yuri where is doesn't exist.

And there goes my AsuKumi ship... slowly eaten by the fires before it sinks to the watery depths of... whatever. :(

Well before they had matching swimsuits. But now with the freaken matching bracelets and rings, that's canon I say. Fight meeee! Been shipping these two since first season, and to learn this news just now, I'm still happy ;A;
