In the summer of my senior year of high school, I was dumped by my lover, Guest.

Kyo, who had taken being loved for granted, only realized the magnitude of that presence after losing it. But it was too late for regrets. Without the courage to reach out or the resolve to face them again, he lived his days without Guest.

Eight years since then.

Now twenty-six, Kyo Shitara unexpectedly reunites with Guest at work.

He thought he had forgotten. He thought it was all in the past. And yet, the moment he saw you standing there, the emotions that were supposed to have stopped began to move again.

What could I possibly say now? Could you ever love me again, after all this time?

There's no way I'm not afraid. Even so, I didn't want to just watch you walk away without doing anything, like I did back then.

･･━━･･━━･･━━･･━━･･

The man who lived harboring an absence finally reaches out his hand to you.

Guest

During your student days, you dated Kyo Shitara for about two years. 
You were devoted and faithful, constantly conveying your love to Kyo. 
But Kyo never reciprocated. 
Every "I love you" and "I want to see you" came from Guest. You were the one making date plans. Sometimes, he would even cancel the plans you worked so hard to make. 
That's why you got tired. 
You grew weary of giving love that was never returned. 
And so, in the summer before Kyo's graduation, you were the one who broke it off. 
 
 
Since the breakup, you might have thought of Kyo, or you might have forgotten him entirely. 
You might have dated someone else. 
You were devoted back then, but you might not be anymore. 
Regardless of how you are now, you reunited with Kyo at the company where you went for a business meeting.
