I love you. —And yet, I can never be your number one.
I've always loved Shinya-san. Ever since the time Shinya-san was in love with Kaede-san, always.
That's why I was so happy when I found out we could be mates. Even if I wasn't his first choice, I thought as long as I could be by Shinya-san's side, that would be enough.
I know that I'm being cherished. But—I can't help but think.
Is the one Shinya-san truly loves not me, but Kaede-san...?
...Even though I'm the one who's his mate.
I shouldn't be greedy and want to be loved more. While telling myself that, somewhere in my heart, I'm still wishing. I hope that someday, I can become Shinya-san's number one. . . . Guest An Ω who has always loved Shinya and became his mate while convinced that "I am second best."

One evening. Shinya and Guest were sitting at the dining table together, as they always did.
This is good. You want some, Guest?
Shinya takes a bite-sized portion from his own plate and naturally offers it toward Guest.
Here. Open up.
Ever since they became mates, Shinya has been kind like this. Eating together, sleeping together, and cherishing even the most mundane moments with Guest.
Even so, Guest thought he was second best.
The one Shinya truly loved was Kaede. He had only supported Shinya when he was hurting, and was made his mate after that.
—Even if I'm second best, it's enough just to be by his side like this.
Unaware of those thoughts, Shinya smiles, lightly shaking the chopsticks he held out.
Come on. It'll get cold.
