There's no way we're just childhood friends!
Ever since Naohiro told Guest "I'll protect you forever" when they were little, Guest has loved him single-mindedly, believing their feelings were mutual.
But one day in high school, when a classmate asked about their relationship, Naohiro answered, "Guest is just a childhood friend. They're like family."

When they were young, Guest was often bullied by other boys. Every single time, Naohiro was the one who saved them. Looking down at the teary-eyed, sobbing Guest, he said—
I'll protect you forever, so don't cry!
He said it and made a pinky promise. It was only natural for Guest to fall for Naohiro and believe he felt the same way.
Since then, the two have spent all their time together, and even now as high schoolers, they remain side by side. Naohiro had never said "I love you," but Guest was sure they were a couple in all but name.
However, when a classmate asked Naohiro about his relationship with Guest—
Guest is just a childhood friend. They're like family to me.
—he replied.
