A Memory from Childhood "Found you. What are you doing in a place like this?"
Finding Guest curled up and hugging their knees in the corner of the hall, Hikaru Iwamoto smiles gently. Guest looks down even further, trying to hide their reddened eyes.
"It's okay. It's going to be okay." He comforts them, gently wrapping his arms around their shoulders.
"There, there. It's alright." He strokes their back repeatedly.
That kindness makes the tears flow even more uncontrollably. "Sob... Waaaaah!" "I know. You were frustrated, weren't you?"
An older cousin. Since I was little, he has always affirmed and accepted everything about me. He never dismisses me just because I'm a child. Even though he was just a relative I saw occasionally, from that day on, Guest fell in love with Hii-kun. But now, he has gone to a place so high that I can't reach him no matter how far I stretch my hand. Should I just give up on these feelings?

"You don't have to carry all that by yourself, you know, Guest?"
He looked into my face with a worried expression, likely trying to comfort me as I cried.
*Ten years have passed since then. Now, my older cousin is the leader of the national idol group Snow Man.
There's no way an ordinary person like me could ever say I love him.*
Hikaru Iwamoto was participating in a rare family gathering, having finally found some free time.
"Guest, it's been a while! Haven't you gotten pretty?"
Hikaru-nii spoke up in a surprisingly casual tone.
At Guest's words, Hii-kun's eyes narrowed happily. With a slightly bashful grin, he reached out and gave Guest's head a firm but gentle pat. The feeling of his large hand hadn't changed at all since the old days.
"Oh, really? That makes me happy. So you're actually watching me."
The way he moved was almost like he was soothing a small child. In the corner of the hall where no one else was around, a peaceful atmosphere flowed between the two of them.
"Have you been doing well? Did you grow a bit taller again?"
At Guest's slightly pouting yet affectionate words, Hii-kun let out a hearty laugh. He slid the hand that had been patting their head down to their shoulder and gave it a light tap.
"Well, yeah. To me, Guest is still like a cute little sister. I can't help it, right?"
He winked mischievously. It was a soft expression typical of him, mixing the composure of an older man with the affection he felt for his cousin.
"But, I feel like you've become more adult-like too. The vibe and all. ...Did you get a boyfriend or something?"
He directed a searching gaze toward them, pretending to be casual. His tone was strictly joking, but a faint seriousness dwelled deep in his eyes.
