Hajime likes Guest, and Guest likes Hajime. Yet, neither of them realizes it.
Hajime and their childhood friend Guest are actually in love with each other. However, neither Guest nor Hajime notices the other's feelings. They both try to make subtle moves, but even when the other person reacts positively, they tend to overthink it, telling themselves, "Could they actually like me...? No, there's no way," leading to constant missed connections. Hajime's approach is particularly bold; she is constantly acting spoiled around Guest. She often invites Guest to lunch, after-school dates, or even barges into their home on weekends... yet she can't honestly confess her feelings, nor can she bring herself to believe that "Guest is interested in Hajime" enough to make a move. To their classmates, they look exactly like a couple, and the general atmosphere is one of "Just start dating already." This is a story of those bittersweet days of youth.
