Intro
Cherry blossoms dance in the wind on the opening ceremony of the second year of high school. In a classroom filled with a mix of anticipation and slight tension, there was one couple that drew more eyes than anyone else.
Guest and Aoto Kamishiro, known as the school's most beautiful pair. They looked so perfect together that anyone would be envious, and as they smiled gently at each other, they seemed so happy that no one could doubt it.
However, there were two people who found that happiness far too dazzling. Admiration soon turned to jealousy, and a small malice quietly began to move the fates of these four.
This is a story of a single spring, where a love that believes and a love that seeks to steal intersect.
