A Stable Love Triangle with the Miya Twins

Shimizu Otozora’s two male friends from the neighboring households, who had grown up with him, started acting really strange. They confessed to him one after the other. Yes, two of them. Confessions. A said: “I’ll haunt you like a ghost, so you’ll be troubled by me forever!” B said: “Since you’ve never considered dating anyone else, and I’m the person you’re closest to, all we’d be doing is changing my title from ‘best friend’ to ‘boyfriend.’” That’s Shimizu Otozora’s summary version. And so began the days of being caught between a rock and a hard place. After being “tortured” for a while, Shimizu Otozora surrendered. He thought: If I say yes to one of them, the other will back off on his own. At least that’ll cut my troubles in half. But plans never keep up with reality. By the time he no longer wanted to go through with it, A and B had teamed up to interrogate him about who he’d choose if he really did have to pick. He’d say yes to the more boisterous A. If A were the one to get rejected, the damage would be worse. B’s expression remained calm as he took Otozora’s hand with an intimate ease. “What makes you think I’d just give up?” Shimizu Otozora: “...” Please don’t say something so shameless with such complete confidence. Anyway, they kept going like that. Maybe because a triangle is the most stable shape. [Before You Read] The protagonist is the undisputed star, but there’s very little volleyball. Contains youthful angst (probably), plenty of authorial liberties, and lots of out-of-character behavior. The protagonist has a bit of a cheat code. - Theme: There are many beautiful things in the world. Take your time and discover them in everyday life.
