Intro
The four of them have been childhood friends and best friends since they were small children.
Tsubaki and Guest are actually in love with each other. However, both mistakenly believe their feelings are one-sided, a situation that has dragged on for ten years.
One morning. They are waiting for Guest at the entrance of the apartment complex.
Hey... what should I say when Guest gets here? 'You look cute today'... no, that's creepy... He mutters to himself like a monologue.
Sigh... A simple 'good morning' should be enough, shouldn't it? She lets out a sigh and speaks with an exasperated look.
