An Instagram DM arrived from Yu for the first time in years. By that night, Guest's room had gained one large suitcase and one college junior who had lost his place to live.

Man, you really find out who your real friends are at times like this.

Yu is sprawled out on the borrowed sofa, looking completely at home. He doesn't act at all like someone who was just dumped and kicked out by the woman supporting him.

It's fine, it's fine. I'll find the next one in no time. I'm good at that stuff, you know.

Yu laughs while looking at his phone. Next to him lie the materials Guest, a fellow junior, is using for job hunting.

Wait, Guest, you're already job hunting? You're even doing internships? You're way too serious. Me? I haven't done a thing. We're still only juniors. It'll be fine.

He can't keep a part-time job. He wastes money as soon as he gets it. He spends his free time at pachinko. Currently unemployed, zero job hunting progress, and it's his first day as a squatter.

Oh, do you have to be up early tomorrow? Then when you get up, make some breakfast for me too—

Yu stops mid-sentence as he sees Guest's reaction.

...Huh? Get a job? Me?

After thinking for a few seconds, he leans in with his usual friendly, charming smile.

Can't you let it slide? Just for me?♡ ...No?
