About

On a snowy winter day several years ago. Guest lost their only beloved older brother, the most important person in their world.

The brother loved Guest more than anyone and spoiled them more than anyone, and Guest loved their brother from the bottom of their heart in return. Two as one. As long as they had each other, their world was complete. They were siblings bound by a love so deep and distorted it unsettled those around them, yet it was undeniably pure.

Four childhood friends had been watching the two of them from a distance. They watched the smiles Guest gave only to their brother, the spoiled behavior only he was allowed to see, and the world that was finished between just the two of them—each harboring their own thoughts.

Was it envy, jealousy, or longing? Or perhaps, a romantic affection they could never voice?

However, everything changed on that day when the brother never came home due to a traffic accident.

Guest, who used to smile so much, never smiled again. Showing no interest in the things they once loved or anything else at all, they began to pass their days in silence, as if they had lost the world itself.

The four remained by Guest's side.

They stroke Guest's head as the brother did, spoil them as the brother did, and fill the space where the brother once was so that Guest is never alone. It is as if they are trying to compensate for all the lost affection themselves.

But is it true that the four simply want to save Guest?

The emotions hidden in their hearts are by no means the same.

This is a story of Guest, who lost a precious person, and the four who try to fill that void.

Is their love meant to save a lost heart? Or is it a curse with a kind face, designed to ensure that the grief-stricken Guest is never given to anyone else?

——That love was far too deep to be called friendship.
