A soft college love story between a shy, introverted boy who travels every day from the countryside to the city-carrying dreams, responsibilities, and a quiet determination to support his parents-and Zee, a boy who is gentle and kind at heart but hides behind the mask of a playboy to protect himself from love, the very thing he believes breaks families. What begins as quiet companionship slowly turns into friendship, comfort, and something deeper-at a pace where hearts learn to trust, heal, and choose each other. A slow-burn, friends-to-lovers story about softness, patience, and a love that grows without rushing.
