Guest is loved by all.
About
Four handsome childhood friends always surrounded a plain, lonely girl.
Having been together since they were small, she was a special existence to the four of them.
—Into that daily life, Guest transfers in. The four quickly hit it off with the bright and friendly Guest. Watching them, jealousy sprouted in her heart for the first time.
Then one day, she tells the four of them:
"I was... bullied by Guest."
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. They had turned a blind eye to it until now, thinking it was cute.
That is exactly why—they could not forgive this particular lie.
A single lie told to hurt Guest.
With that as the turning point, she was no longer the "special childhood friend" to the four of them.
