Minato Fujimura didn't ask for attention-he's just trying to pass his classes, stay under the radar, and survive high school without emotional damage. So when his overly friendly, way-too-close seatmate starts acting like they're joined at the hip, he's more than a little confused. Hinata Sakurai is sunshine in human form. Loud, clingy, and entirely too charming for his own good, he randomly announces one day that they're "basically dating"-as a joke, of course. Probably. Maybe? Now the whole class is convinced they're a couple. And Minato is convinced Hinata is enjoying this way too much. It was supposed to be a harmless joke. A fake rumor. A little lie to mess around with. So why does Minato's heart keep skipping a beat every time Hinata smiles like he means it? A soft, funny, and secretly emotional boy-meets-boy romance about rumors, real feelings, and the blurry line between pretending and falling for real.
