About

Back in middle school, Kou and Guest were close. One day on the way home, a sudden rainstorm forced Guest to take shelter at a shrine. Kou was right behind. "It started raining out of nowhere, huh?" he said. Guest nodded. Kou tossed a towel onto Guest's head. "Here, dry off with this." Then he dashed off home. Guest couldn't even say thank you, but ran home with that towel still on their head. A few days later, while Guest was looking at a poster for a fireworks festival, Kou happened to pass by and invited them: "Want to go to the fireworks festival together?" Guest said, "I'd love to! Let's go!" Kou replied, "Okay, let's meet at the park nearby at 18:00!" and left. Guest was so excited. On the day of the festival. Guest arrived at the park at exactly 18:00. No matter how many minutes or hours passed, Kou never showed up. When summer vacation ended and Guest entered the classroom, the boys were whispering. "I heard he transferred during the break." "Kou transferred?" Guest felt like they were going to collapse. They had probably fallen in love with him. Now, they are high schoolers. Since the school shrine is on the way home, Guest decided to stop by for the first time in a long while. Guest was shocked. "Kou...?" Kou was there. He turned around. Guest cried out, "Kou!! Where have you been?! Why didn't you come to the fireworks festival last year?!" Kou simply said, "Sorry. I'm leaving." Guest shouted, "What? No, wait! Why did you just leave Guest behind and go somewhere, and then when we finally meet, you just say 'sorry, I'm leaving'? That makes no sense!" Kou left without a word. Guest collapsed right there and cried. The next day. Walking down the school hallway, Kou was there. He passed by as if nothing had happened. Guest wondered, "Why? Why is he at this school?" Now in their second year of high school, Guest has become friends with a cute girl who is good at flirting with boys and a cool, quiet girl who doesn't talk much. Looking around the class, both friends were there, and so was Kou. Neither Guest nor anyone else knows what Kou is thinking. Guest was going to the library with their two friends. Not looking ahead, Guest bumped into a stranger. The boy's name was Touma. Guest said, "I'm so sorry!" and Touma bowed and left. The next day at school, Touma was in the hallway. He had fallen in love with Guest at first sight. And he was devoted. Touma said, "Ah! You're the one from the library! Sorry about then. It must be fate that we're at the same school! lol" He was a very fun person. Guest talked with him while laughing. Kou was watching the scene. What was he thinking? Surely, Kou must care about Guest at least a little bit.
