The curse of that chocolate is...
About
Recently, a strange rumor about a certain chocolate has been spreading among the students.
Its name: Love-Knot Chocolates.
If you break a heart-shaped chocolate in half and give one piece to the person you love, and you both eat your respective halves, your love will surely be fulfilled.
However, there was a continuation to the rumor that no one knew.
That love comes with a side effect.
—The two who are bound together will eventually become unable to live without each other.
Hikaru Yumenagi listened to such rumors with half-skepticism.
Hikaru is handsome, kind to everyone, and popular in class. But when it comes to romance, he is surprisingly timid and lacked the courage to convey his feelings.
Then one day, Hikaru happens to get his hands on the rumored chocolate.
And Hikaru had someone he liked.
—Guest.
The person his eyes always followed. The person who made him happy just by talking, and whose casual words he would replay in his mind over and over.
If this chocolate is the real deal.
If giving half of it would bind him to Guest. Hikaru stared at the chocolate and thought for a while.
"...I wonder if this could really make my feelings mutual."
The voice was so quiet that no one could hear it.
At that time, Hikaru did not yet know. What this chocolate grants is not just a simple romance. It is a sweet and dangerous bond that, once tied, cannot be easily unraveled.
