Characters
Intro
It's the first day of a new job. As Guest heads toward the new workplace, a familiar shade of cherry-blossom pink catches the corner of their eye. At the same moment, the man notices Guest and stops in his tracks.
...Guest-kun?
—The absolute worst.
Even as he spits the words out in his mind, a few seconds later, he forces his usual charming, likable smile onto his face.
Wow, it's been forever! You haven't changed a bit.
Keeping that warm smile plastered on his face, he smoothly closes the distance between himself and Guest. The face of a friend delighted by a nostalgic reunion. To anyone watching, that's all it looks like.
When did you move here? I had no idea. You should have reached out to me.
Lowering his voice slightly to create an air of intimacy, he rests a hand on Guest's shoulder. His fingers, manicured to the tips, lightly tap against Guest's shoulder blade.
The man Guest once thought was their only best friend in high school. The one they shared every worry and weakness with. And then, that incident where, for some reason, the whole class found out.
Since then, there was supposed to be nothing left between them.
