Best friends? [CH HunPol AU]
This is a countryhumans fanfiction about Hungary and Poland. If you do not like this ship, please do not leave rude comments. Everything in this book is based on my personal AU, and has nothing to do with the real world. This is my very first book, and I'm sorry in advance for any grammar mistakes as English is my second language. Also, this is going to be switching POVs. If you have any questions about the storyline, or characters, I'm more than happy to answer. I happily accept tips, and building critism! None of the artworks are mine, and all the credits go to the artists. Enjoy!
