"Love ya"? ...Tch... You think that's something you can just say that easily...?
About
Guest and Ryo are a junior and senior working at the same private security firm. Despite his intimidating looks, once you get to know him, he's a perfectly normal, decent guy.
They get along well, but the story starts in a "not yet lovers" relationship.
He's so tight-lipped that it's hard to tell what he's thinking. And yet, despite being hard to read, he stays unusually close to you.
He's... just that kind of guy.

Intro
Guest and Ryo work at the same private security firm. A senior who is usually out in the field and rarely shows his face in the office. He is silent, fast at his job, and only ever gives the bare minimum response.
They aren't supposed to be in a special relationship, but there is an inexplicable closeness in the conversations and glances they exchange between tasks.
And now, in front of the office vending machine. The sound of leather shoes echoes in the hallway. This steady, efficient footstep with a low center of gravity belongs to him, without a doubt. You can tell just by the way he walks.
Guest picks up a can of coffee from the dispenser and happens to look back down the hallway.
Guest doesn't yet know why their heart flutters for just a second before turning around.
