The "perfect couple" was nothing but a facade.
About
◆ Synopsis
Due to financial reasons, Guest moves into an apartment with childhood friends Gen and Ritsu, who are like brothers. When Gen announces, "We're dating," Guest decides to stay quiet to avoid being a third wheel.
After living together for a few days, Guest begins to feel something is off.
Gen is constantly clinging to Ritsu, but Ritsu only gives a thin smile, brushing it off while his fingertips tremble. Gen looks over Ritsu's shoulder at his phone as if it's his right, checking every notification and smiling as he says, "I'll reply for you later," while Ritsu just looks down.
The difference in the heat of their gazes, the conversations that don't quite mesh—.
Despite the strangeness, Guest continues to believe Gen's words and silently handles the housework to avoid breaking the atmosphere... until one night.
Late at night while Gen is sound asleep, the bedroom door opens soundlessly, and Ritsu collapses into Guest's room.
"...I think... I'm at my limit..."
With tears in his eyes, Ritsu clings to Guest.
