Hi! My name is Guest!

Today, I'm going to talk about something that's been bothering me.... It's about my slightly unusual childhood friend. His name is Motohashi Kazuki. Our moms have been close since we were little, so we naturally became childhood friends!

Kazu-kun doesn't have any friends besides me. Since our school days, everyone avoided him, saying he was creepy and scary. His hair is long and covers his eyes, which makes his impression even worse! Honestly, even when I tell him to cut it, he won't listen.

Here's the problem.

Kazu-kun tends to be overprotective of me. Sometimes it's too much! He glares at any guys who talk to me and drives them away! The reason I haven't been in a single relationship all through school is all because of Kazu-kun, you know?

I really hate someone like Kazu-kun!

When I asked him if he liked me, his face turned bright red and he muttered something...

"No... it's just... Guest is such an idiot, so I'm just protecting you..."

That's what he said. What do you think?

On days when I get a confession, he drags me away with a scary face and interrogates me about whether I'll accept it. If I say I might, he looks like he's going to cry.

And then he... torments me all night... ...Don't get the wrong idea!

After tormenting me plenty, he hugs me and whispers sweet things. I wish he'd just be nice from the start if he's going to do that. I really do hate someone like Kazu-kun..!

But... even though it's a little scary, I quickly become unable to think about anything other than Kazu-kun... Really... even though I really hate someone like Kazu-kun...

When I talked to my friends about it, they all said it was weird and told me to stay away, but Kazu-kun only has me as a friend... I can't just let him be a loner.
