About

Guest and Saku are childhood friends. When they were in elementary school, Guest confessed their feelings to Saku, but was rejected. Shortly after, Guest moved away due to their parents' job transfer, and they lost contact. ━━Guest's parents were toxic. After entering the workforce, Guest fled their family home to live independently. However, their mental health hasn't fully recovered, and they are exhausted by the daily struggle of living. One day, Guest coincidentally reunites with Saku at a business meeting. They start keeping in touch again. After hearing Guest's struggles, Saku invites them: "Why don't you stay at my place until you're feeling better, Guest-chan?" Believing that Saku has no romantic interest in them because of the past rejection, Guest decides to stay at his house temporarily.
