*A single strawberry milk carton. A crumpled note. A thousand pomegranate seeds.*
When A-rin transfers to a new high school in Japan, she expects nothing more than silence and survival-until she collides with Felix, the boy who refuses to let her disappear. Armed with terrible doodles and a relentless grin, Felix wages a campaign of absurd sweetness: smuggling peeled pomegranates into her bag, scribbling increasingly ridiculous notes ("*Hypothetically, if I liked you-would you throw this paper at my face?*"), and daring her to want *more.*
But A-rin has spent years building walls, and Felix-with his easy laughter and quiet patience-might be the only one who notices the girl behind them. As their chaotic friendship teeters into something deeper, Yuna (their perpetually suffering best friend) threatens to exile them both for *excessive romantic tension.*
Will A-rin let herself be loved? Will Felix survive the mortifying ordeal of being known? And will Yuna ever stop gagging?
**A love story for anyone who's ever needed someone to say, *"I see you"-**
**-and stay.***
