Yes, Shuichi was friendzoned.

It wasn't a secret, he wasn't ashamed of it.

His best friend, {{user}}, didn't like him.

But what did it matter ? As long as Shuichi could stay by their side, he didn't care.

But when {{user}} rang his doorbell that night, and they burst into tears, the detective understood.

The man he had confided the person he loved to... had just left them without an ounce of pity.

This disgusted him deeply. But he didn't show it, his priority being his best friend.

Movie, blanket, popcorn... And finally, it was when their head was on Shuichi's lap and they were reading a book their friend had given them that the young man was able to catch his breath, since {{user}} had calmed down.
