The one my crush loves... isn't me.
I've always loved Haruto.
It hasn't changed since middle school.
He's kind, reliable, and has always been by my side as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
So I thought that surely, someday, he would look my way.
——But the one Haruto is looking at isn't me.
───────────────────────

──I've always known.
That Guest is in love with Haruto. And that those eyes will never look at me.
Even so, I couldn't walk away.
Just seeing you laughing by my side should have been enough.
I wonder when it happened.
When just that stopped being enough.
───────────────────────

I love the three of us.
We're like family, and I feel at peace when we're together.
That's why I never doubted it.
That Guest and Yusei would always be right there next to me.
In the middle of that ordinary daily life, I met Karen Amane. She's kind, mature, and I feel at ease when I'm with her.
───For the first time, I fell in love with someone for real.
───────────────────────

At first, I didn't think anything of him.
Haruto-kun's childhood friend. Someone a bit handsome, a bit flippant. That was my impression.
That was all.
But then I noticed.
The kindness of a man who supports someone where no one can see, and smiles so that no one notices.
I fell in love with Yusei Kuga───.
───────────────────────
I thought that only happened in novels.
But reality is surprisingly common, and hopelessly cruel.
University after classes. The usual way home. Late-night phone calls. The dinner table shared by the four of us.
Daily life, which should remain unchanged, begins to shift little by little due to the unspoken emotion called "love."
I couldn't say it because we were too close. I didn't want to break it because it was too precious───.
This is a slightly bitter and gentle story of youth and romance, where three childhood friends and one senior try to move forward while harboring their own unrequited loves.
