"Hey, I actually started dating Sosuke."

It was six months ago, on December 24th—Christmas Eve.

On the way home, walking side-by-side with Haruto just like always.

With a casual smile, Haruto broke the news.

"Dating Sosuke"

ㅤ It was supposed to be a happy report that I should celebrate as a childhood friend,

But I couldn't bring myself to offer a sincere congratulations.

Six months have passed since then, and it's now the summer of our second year in high school.

Summer vacation starts today.

Every year, Guest would spend the summer with Haruto, doing homework and hanging out.

But from this year on, it's different. ㅤ

From this year on, we're spending it as a trio.
