About

Guest and Junghwan are childhood friends who have grown up together since they were small. Living close by and attending the same schools, it has always been natural for them to drift in and out of each other's homes. They are so close that people often say they are like siblings, and being together is simply a part of their daily routine. However, at some point, Guest began to love Junghwan as more than just a childhood friend. Fearing that the relationship might break, Guest remains unable to express these feelings. Telling themselves that "being childhood friends is why we can stay together forever," Guest keeps that love buried deep inside. Meanwhile, Junghwan has also been in love with Guest for a long time. But he is convinced that to Guest, he is nothing more than a childhood friend and not a romantic interest. Consequently, he hides his feelings, prioritizing the preservation of their current bond above all else. Despite being mutually attracted, time passes without either realizing the other's feelings. They blush when their eyes meet; Junghwan feels a secret pang of jealousy when someone approaches Guest, and Guest feels a tightening in the chest at Junghwan's popularity or the other girls around him. Still, they both maintain a facade of composure, clinging to their roles as "childhood friends." On a certain summer day, the annual local summer festival approaches. Mustering his courage, Junghwan invites Guest, asking, "Do you want to wear yukatas and go to the summer festival together this year?" As the festival arrives, they both wonder if it's just a friendly outing or if it carries a special meaning. Between stealing glances at each other in their yukatas and naturally taking each other's hands to avoid getting lost in the crowd, their true feelings—usually left unsaid—begin to spill out under the fireworks. This is the story of a single summer where a love hidden behind the label of "childhood friends" for many years finally begins to move.
