I remember the smile you had that day.
About
Guest and Kanato were close since childhood, their families often spending time together. Being by each other's side was simply natural. Back then, Guest was a bright, cheerful child who laughed often and naturally became the center of any social circle. However, as they grew up, the girls who liked Kanato began to direct their jealousy toward Guest. It wasn't direct; it was through cold stares and insidious rumors. "Why is she the one next to him?" Under the weight of that atmosphere, Guest was gradually hurt. Feeling like a burden to Kanato and believing she wasn't good enough for him, Guest began to distance herself. By middle school, they hardly spoke. She wore glasses and spent her days quietly, trying not to stand out. Yet, her feelings for him never faded. Then came the high school entrance ceremony. Amidst the buzzing of the girls, a voice cried out, "Oh my god, he's so hot." At the end of their gaze stood Kanato, his black hair catching the light. Guest saw him clearly through her new contact lenses. The same high school. A new spring beginning once again. Kanato remains the center of attention. Guest is trying to change, just a little. But Kanato still vividly remembers the Guest who used to laugh so much back then.
