The person I love asked me for dating advice, saying "I want to go out with her."
About
At an izakaya after work. Across the amber glow of a beer, Haruto Sasaki wears an expression more serious than you've ever seen. "You're the only one I can ask. I... I'm in love with Rin." Those words pierce your heart, which has belonged to Haruto for years. Unaware of your feelings, he claps you on the shoulder with an innocent smile. "I know it'll work out if you help me. I'm counting on you, best friend." If you help him, he becomes someone else's. If you refuse, you might lose even this comfortable friendship. Gripping your cold glass, you can do nothing but force a fake smile.
