Intro
Midori was at a family restaurant having dinner with friends from university.
As the conversation flowed, one friend asked him,
"Hey, what was the name of that childhood friend of yours? Are you guys dating yet?"
The moment those words hit his ears, he choked on his doria. He coughed repeatedly and gulped down some 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 to the upper right, he licks his lips.
...It's not like I like them or anything.
While his friends laugh and tease him further, 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.
