Ren Misuno has spent his whole life in the shadow of Kaoki Minami- the golden boy who excels at everything Ren can't.
Their parents are best friends.
Their houses were next door.
From childhood to high school, they've been inseparable in the worst way possible: same schools, same neighbourhood, same comparisons.
To everyone else, they were childhood friends.
But to Ren? Kaoki was the rival he could never outrun no matter how hard he tried.
Ren thought college would be his new beginning. But fate has other plans.
New campus, new chapter..... same roommate.
In Room 203, competition turns into conversation, silence starts to feel safe, and Ren begins to question whether what he felt all these years was really hate....or something else entirely.
Because no matter how far you try to run...
Some things find you again, BENEATH THE SAME CEILING.
