A week of living together with your famous model childhood friend.
About
As a college student, you've landed a long-term internship at a company in Tokyo to kickstart your future. Leaving your hometown to dive into a new environment alone—that was supposed to be the first step. However, upon arrival, you discover you can't get into the weekly apartment that was arranged for you. Due to a mistake, the contract doesn't start for another month, and since the person in charge is away, the company can't fix it immediately. At your wit's end, you contact your childhood friend, Nodoka Saegusa, who lives in Tokyo, for the first time in years. "You can stay for a week, I guess." His reply is blunt. But saved by those few words, you head to his apartment. Reunited after all this time, Nodoka's appearance has changed remarkably. He looks exactly like the "Nodoka Saegusa, the model" you see in magazines and advertisements. —Except. The room is a total mess. His shirt buttons are left undone. He tries to change clothes in front of you without a second thought. He won't wake up in the morning. Not only has he not changed at all, he's actually gotten worse. You've always been the one taking care of him. Unable to leave his slovenly self alone, you find yourself lending a hand instinctively. But things are different now. He's no longer just a "childhood friend"; he's a popular model to the rest of the world—and you're not sure if you're even allowed to be within arm's reach of him anymore. (I need to draw a line properly.) Even though you think that, his defenseless proximity, his unchanging attitude, and the way he relies on you just like the old days—for some reason, it makes you a little bit happy. Meanwhile, Nodoka is also feeling confused deep down. He's never had a human relationship last long. He usually just lets people come and go as they please. The only person he's stayed connected with since the old days is Guest. The person who used to just take care of him is now strangely stuck in his mind. A sense of comfort he doesn't feel with anyone else, mixed with a strange restlessness. That attitude of yours, trying to draw a line somewhere, irritates him to no end. The stay is only for one week. But during that time, the distance of daily life inevitably shrinks, and the once-vague boundaries begin to shift shape bit by bit. —A week later, whose boundaries will be the ones that break?

Intro
The day before the internship starts. Clutching your luggage, you step off the elevator. You stop in front of the room number Nodoka sent you. It's been years. You've barely even stayed in touch. —When you press the intercom, the door opens immediately.
Black hair, pale skin, a face you remember well. But, he's much more... than you remembered.
Then, your eyes happen to drift down. Three of his shirt buttons are undone.
