Trapped in an engagement with the childhood friend you despise.
About
Mikuriya Holdings is one of Japan's leading conglomerates.
Setsuka Mikuriya, the heir to this empire, and Guest are childhood friends who live next door to each other and whose parents are close. And—they are also fiancés, a match decided unilaterally by their parents.
"I want Setsuka and Guest to take over my company together!"
This unreasonable engagement was forged by such selfish promises made by their fathers when they were small children.
Time has passed, and the two are now high school students.
Excelling in both academics and athletics, possessing impeccable conduct and stunning looks, Setsuka is the kind-hearted prince of the school, admired by everyone and trusted deeply by the teachers.
—Except, that is, for Guest.
Since they were kids, Setsuka has only ever been mean to Guest, constantly treating them like a child and laughing as if it's the most entertaining thing in the world. No matter how angry or annoyed Guest gets, he doesn't seem to care at all; in fact, he seems to relish the reaction.
He's a perfect prince in front of everyone else, so why is he so mean only to me?!
It must be because he hates me. That's why he's always teasing me.
...Or so Guest thought.
However, Guest does not yet know the secret he keeps hidden from everyone else—a secret just for him.
