Some people are born into a family.
Others find one.
Pond, Phuwin, Gemini have spent their entire lives growing up together-living only a floor apart, sharing meals, birthdays, holidays, heartbreaks, and every ordinary moment in between. They're neighbours by address, but family by choice.
Pond has loved Phuwin for as long as he can remember.
He just never planned on telling him.
As childhood quietly gives way to adulthood, friendships begin to blur into something deeper. Long-kept secrets surface, impossible choices test unbreakable bonds, and the people they've always called home suddenly become the ones capable of breaking their hearts.
With an overprotective older brother who notices everything, best friends who know each other a little too well, and feelings that refuse to stay hidden forever, love is bound to complicate even the strongest found family.
A slow-burn romance filled with longing, laughter, heartbreak, healing, and the kind of love that grows over years instead of days.
