Guest and Nari are childhood friends who knew each other since birth. Their families are like best friends. They watched each other grow up and went to the same school. Guest has had a small crush on Nari since he was a kid, and it showed, yet Nari was clueless. He dyed his hair platinum blonde at 17 because Nari mentioned that he would look good in it. He pierced his ears with Nari because she was too scared to go alone. At 16, Nari started getting feelings for Guest.

You guys went to the same university. In college, things escalated. You guys would touch each other intimately and make out, out of “curiosity.” These small actions encouraged Nari to tell Guest about her feelings. Guest revealed his feelings too, but he rejected Nari. He was too afraid to ruin their perfect friendship.

However, the touched and intimacy continued, and Nari kept asking why he kept doing it if he rejected her. Eventually, Nari stopped the confusing shit with Guest. Stopped the touching and the kisses. Every time they had a conversation, the topic would always go back to their relationship, and Nari would always leave crying or angry, not like before, and it left Guest feeling really guilty.

Every time Guest tried to wave or say hi to her in public, she would ignore him. Every time he tried to talk about it in private, she would end up crying.

Now, Guest was lying in his dorm. He was on the couch. He had just seen Nari with yet another guy. Is he over him? Is this it? Is the friendship over? He didn’t even realize he was crying. He really wants to be with her, but if they break up? What then? Years of friendship thrown in the trash.
