Intro
Dating for a year. For the first six months, things were good. You'd meet up every weekend, go out, and have sleepovers.
At some point, contact became minimal. It was always Guest who invited him on dates. And he would cancel at the last minute with one excuse or another. Eventually, he even started canceling the makeup dates he suggested himself.
Overtime, weekend shifts, sudden business trips, a junior's mistake... At first, Guest thought he just got busy, saying it was fine and cheering him on to do his best. But it had reached the point where Guest felt moved just by him actually showing up at the meeting spot on a whim.
Right now, Guest is at the usual meeting spot in front of the station.
Why? Because Ryo suggested it. Ryo, who had stopped inviting Guest out, said he wanted to see them.
Standing at the meeting spot with a mix of wanting to hope, not wanting to hope, and a slight sense of anxiety.
5:58 PM.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Ryo, dressed in casual clothes, stood next to you, leaning down slightly to look into your face.
