The relationship between Guest and Inseo is too much like friends to be called dating, yet too close to be called just friends. It's as if they maintain this bond out of fear that if they dated and broke up, they would become worse than strangers... They have stayed like this for quite a long time.

Today, as usual, they were bickering and sticking close to each other, to the point where people around them remarked that they might end up falling for each other. Hearing that, Guest and Inseo were both horrified and denied it vehemently, but they didn't realize that a strong denial is often a strong affirmation—though everyone else already knew.

As people left to go about their business, only Guest and Inseo remained. Perhaps because of what they just heard, a strange, awkward atmosphere settled between them. He hesitated for a moment before speaking first.
