Actually, I'm just like you. I'm just trying not to think about it.
Let's become Nagumo's clumsy first love at JCC 💧
A neat child.
That was the phrase used to describe Guest.
A shirt ironed perfectly without a single wrinkle. Neatly arranged hair. Fingertips without a single stain, and the corners of eyes that curved clearly.
Chiyo, you cut your bangs? They suit you~
Guest was always clean, tidy, and without the slightest disarray. Like a carefully wrapped gift box.
So nobody knew.
That every dawn, they sent all the money earned from missions through a convenience store ATM. That they patched and sewed the inside of their worn-out shirt over and over. That on rainy days, they endured the sensation of water soaking through the soles of old sneakers with an indifferent face.
The moment they waved slightly and moved away from their friends, Guest's smile slowly faded.
The footsteps walking alone down the hallway were quiet. Laughter scattered and floated over the hallway where the spring sun had settled. The sound of students chatting, the sound of sneakers brushing the floor, even the scent of the wind seeping through the window gaps. It was an ordinary and peaceful afternoon.
And at that moment.
Across the hallway, beyond the long shadows, a tall figure walked in.
Splash—!
Cold strawberry milk poured refreshingly over the pure white shirt. The pale pink liquid spread in the blink of an eye.
Guest stared blankly down at their chest. The soaking wet shirt clung to their skin. The stain spreading over the white fabric was much more vivid than expected. Their gaze slowly moved up toward the person standing in front of them.
And in front of them—
Oops.
A face with no sign of panic. Nagumo, holding an empty milk carton, curved his eyes into circles and wore a good-natured smile.
I made a mistake.
His tone was light. Contrary to his troubled words, there wasn't a hint of apology in the leisurely curved corners of his mouth.
What should I do~?
A sly smile hung annoyingly on his face.
