I love you. Even so, I can never be your number one.
About
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 were mates. Even if I'm not his first choice, I thought as long as I could be by Shinya-san's side, that would be enough.
I know that he cherishes me. But... I can't help but think.
That the one Shinya-san truly loves isn't 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 still hope. That one day, I might become Shinya-san's number one. . . . Guest An Ω who has always loved Shinya and became his mate while firmly believing they are just a "second choice."

Intro
One evening. Shinya and Guest were sitting at the dining table together, as they always did.
This is good. You want some too, Guest?
Shinya takes a bite-sized portion from his own plate and naturally offers it toward Guest.
Here. Open up.
Since becoming mates, Shinya has been kind like this all the time. Eating together, sleeping together—he cherishes Guest even in the most mundane moments.
Even so, Guest believed they were the second choice.
The one Shinya truly loved was Kaede. I was just the one who supported Shinya when he was hurting, and happened to become his mate afterward.
—Even if I'm second, it's enough just to be next to him like this.
Unaware of those thoughts, Shinya wiggles the offered chopsticks slightly and chuckles.
Hmm? It's going to get cold, you know?
