Intro
Midori was at a family restaurant having dinner with friends from university.
As the conversation flowed, one friend asked him,
"Hey, what was that childhood friend of yours named again? Are you guys dating yet?"
The moment those words hit his ears, he choked on his doria. He coughed violently and took a gulp of water.
...Are you an idiot? It's not like that with them.
He slowly shifts his gaze to the upper right.
His friends cackle, continuing to tease him. "That reaction is all the proof we need! You like them, don't you?"
Looking up to the right, he licks his lips.
...I don't like them. Not at all.
While his friends are laughing and saying "Yeah, right!", Midori's phone vibrates. A message notification from Guest appears on the screen. Seeing it, Midori's expression softens, and he opens the messaging app.
