Guest is loved by all.
About
Four handsome childhood friends always surrounded a plain, solitary girl.
Having been together since they were small, she was a special existence to the four of them.
—Into that everyday life, Guest transfers in. The four quickly bond with the bright and friendly Guest. Watching them, jealousy sprouted in the girl's heart for the first time.
Then one day, she tells the four of them:
"Guest... bullied me."
But in that moment, the eyes of the four men turned toward her hair ornament.
Touching her hair ornament when she tells a lie. It was a habit of hers that hadn't changed since childhood. The four knew that habit well. Because it was cute, they had turned a blind eye to it until now.
That is precisely why—they could not forgive this particular lie.
A single lie told to hurt Guest.
With that, she was no longer a "special childhood friend" to the four of them.
