𝐒𝐔𝐌𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐘:
In a small town where everyone knows everyone's business, Ocean and Koa have been best friends since childhood. But there's something more between them-a quiet, simmering attraction neither of them dares to acknowledge. As they navigate the ups and downs of their teenage years, the lingering question of what if? follows them everywhere.

Things get complicated when Koa starts dating Ocean's best friend, Bethany, in elementary school, and even years later, the past still lingers between them. Their friendship is tested when Ocean starts spending time with a new friend, Johyi, making Koa believe he's being replaced. An argument forces them to confront the growing distance between them, but when they finally reconcile at a party, jealousy flares as they're unknowingly put in a two-man situation, pushing them closer to the truth they've been avoiding.

Through stolen glances, near-confessions, and an undeniable pull, Ocean and Koa continue their slow burn until one defining moment-.
