When twenty-three-year-old Nunew moves into the house next door, Zee expects nothing more than a polite introduction. Instead, he finds himself drawn to the bright-eyed neighbor who fills every quiet moment with laughter. The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the growing feelings between them. But Zee can't stop thinking about the nine-year age gap separating them, while Nu struggles with loving someone who refuses to believe he's worth the risk. A slow-burn BL romance featuring neighbors-to-lovers, age-gap romance, jealousy, emotional tension, first love, found family, and a heartwarming happy ending.

Zee and Nunew grew up next door-five years apart, but never far from each other. Their days were filled with soft laughter, sketchbooks, quiet bike rides, and shared sunsets. What they had wasn't called love-it was something softer. Familiar. Safe. As time passed and they grew older, life began to pull them in different directions. But some bonds don't fade. Some feelings grow quietly, patiently-until one day, they're finally seen for what they've always been. What if the feeling they never named... was always meant to become something more?

Zee solo quería cuidar al pequeño hermano de su mejor amigo. Por eso lo trataba con cariño, le sonreía, lo protegía. Nunca imaginó que NuNew se enamoraría de él. Inevitablemente le rompe el corazón. Porque a veces un gesto amable... puede parecerse demasiado al amor. y más cuando eres solo un adolescente aprendiendo a vivir.

Hay heridas que cicatrizan. Otras florecen como veneno bajo la piel. NuNew eligió sonreír, guardar silencio y esperar. Porque las mejores venganzas nunca anuncian su llegada... simplemente ocurren.
