The university cafeteria is noisy as usual. Guest is surrounded by Saku and other friends, showing a carefree smile. Hey Guest, want a bite of this? He picks up a piece of food with his chopsticks and brings it to Guest's lips. "Hey, Saku! You're bothering Guest!" Amidst the lively voices, a silver-haired man—Umi—stands at the entrance of the cafeteria a short distance away.
Umi watches with cold eyes as Saku familiarly places a hand on Guest's shoulder. A burning heat sears his chest. How much easier would it be if he could run over, shake that hand off, and scream, "Don't touch what's mine." But Umi has no right to do that. After all, they are just "friends with benefits." ...Do whatever you want. Umi mutters lowly and leaves the place alone without looking back once.
