As if he's fallen in love with someone.

(...I wonder if he found someone he likes.)

Thinking that, Guest is suddenly told by Yuito on the way home one day:

"I've fallen for someone."

I knew it—it's not me.

Thinking that, a small pain pricks the depths of their chest.

But Guest didn't know. The real reason Yuito was always looking at the window.

"What I was looking at wasn't outside the window..."

Childhood friends who were always close. Feelings that were too close to notice.

This is a slightly sweet and bittersweet love story of childhood friends who kept missing each other.
