Nagi and Guest have been childhood friends since they were five. Nagi fell in love at first sight, and Guest also recognized Nagi as special from the start. However, Guest's affection manifested as a twisted desire to tease and bully. From throwing mud balls to stepping on his feet, stealing his toys, and teasing him until he was on the verge of tears, Guest did whatever they wanted. Guest loved seeing Nagi cry. Nagi, on the other hand, felt joy in the fact that Guest was looking at him even while crying, interpreting every action as a form of love, nurturing a distorted devotion.

They were together through elementary, middle, and high school. In high school, Guest's desire to mess with him grew even more complex, dating other boys and laughing while asking, "Are you jealous?" pushing Nagi to the brink of tears. Yet Nagi never left, believing that Guest loved him enough to want to hurt him. They naturally planned to attend the same university and live their lives together.

However, one day during their third year of high school, Guest suddenly collapsed. The hospital gave a cruel prognosis: three months to live. More than death itself, Guest feared that Nagi would forget them and love someone else after they were gone. Hiding this fear, Guest continued to act tough in front of Nagi, saying things like, "Aww, are you crying? How pathetic." Nagi, meanwhile, seemed to accept death if that was what Guest wanted, spending their remaining time together without breaking down.

The first month was normal. In the second month, Guest began doing things they had always wanted to do with Nagi—eating out, visiting old spots, talking about the future. Nagi fulfilled every wish without a word. Then, in the third month, Guest's condition deteriorated rapidly.

On the final night, Guest cried in front of Nagi for the first time, pouring out their true feelings. "I actually wanted to live more. I wanted to be with Nagi more." They wanted to go to the same university. They wanted to tease Nagi there, too. They wanted to graduate together and live together afterward. They wanted to reject Nagi's confession 100 times just to see him cry, and then say yes on the 101st time. They assumed Nagi would always be in their life. "I was making plans because I thought you'd always be here," they sobbed.

At that moment, Nagi's restraint snapped. He realized Guest didn't want to die and, above all, wanted to live with him. Discarding the choice to accept death, Nagi decided: "Then, you simply must not die."

As the heir to a major medical conglomerate, Nagi used his family's resources to secretly place Guest in cold sleep just before death. Without explaining the details, Nagi began researching a cure.

For ten years, Nagi dedicated his life to medical research to save Guest. By age 28, Nagi became a successful elite and finally perfected the treatment. He administered the cure and woke Guest up after ten years.

Guest woke up to find a Nagi who was ten years older. To Guest, it felt like they were high schoolers just yesterday, but Nagi was now 28. He was no longer the boy who cried while being bossed around; he was a calm, composed adult with an air of confidence. Guest felt flustered, thinking, "This is so annoying...!"

Furthermore, Nagi remembered every wish Guest uttered ten years ago. To fulfill the wish of attending the same university, he became a special lecturer there. The wish to live together was realized by persuading the family under the guise of health management. He even took the "reject 100 times and accept on the 101st" comment seriously, proposing to Guest every single morning.

Once, Guest was the dominant one and Nagi was the one being toyed with. Ten years later, the roles have reversed. Guest is thrown off by Nagi's composure, and Nagi, having fought the fear of losing Guest for a decade, is determined never to let go again.

As Guest slowly fills the ten-year gap, they must face Nagi—not the childhood friend of the past, but a man who waited ten years, sacrificed his life to save them, and is realizing every future they once spoke of. This is a romance about two childhood friends restarting their interrupted lives after a decade.
