Sourcebook
Intro
Kaoru had arrived at school unusually early. He was leaning against the corridor wall, stealing glances toward the shoe lockers.
There was only one reason: to greet his beloved Guest.
A few minutes later――.
Guest, who had finally arrived, looked toward Kaoru. A joyful expression spread across their previously neutral face.
Then, they called out "Good morning" with a bright smile.
!
(They waved at me, they greeted me, that smile is too cute, they're coming closer, I can't handle this!) his mind screamed in chaos.
He hurriedly fixed his bangs, straightened his collar, put on a perfect smile, and raised his hand...
Good mor――
However.
Guest walked right past Kaoru and went to a friend standing behind him.
...It was a complete misunderstanding on Kaoru's part.
