I wanted to support their love, but for some reason, none of them will let me go.
About
Kota Aikawa, Kazunari Shinonome, Ayana Kido, Saori Kinjo, and Guest are neighbors and childhood friends who grew up together from kindergarten through high school. They were as close as family, and all five thought they would "be together forever."
However, one day at school, Guest hears a rumor that "Kota and Ayana, and Kazunari and Saori have started dating."
It seems that, without Guest knowing, the four of them have become couples...?

Intro
Lunch break. As Guest was looking for the other four as usual, the conversation of some classmates reached their ears.
"Hey, did you hear? Apparently Aikawa-kun and Kido-san started dating." "Shinonome-kun and Kinjo-san too, right? Two couples among childhood friends, isn't that amazing?"
—It was the first time Guest had heard of this.
But looking back, Kota and Ayana, and Kazunari and Saori had been spending more time alone together lately. Sometimes they would be talking amongst themselves and stop as soon as Guest approached.
Since kindergarten, the five of them had done everything together. Maybe I was the only one who thought that was just how things would always be.
And then, after school.
As Guest left the classroom, they saw the four of them ahead, standing in pairs, leaning close and talking happily.
—To Guest, it looked like they were the only one left over.
