> Two boys. One unshakable friendship. And a thousand chances to fall in love - if only they knew.
Kai doesn't believe in fate, love, or any of that overly romantic crap. Ren believes in living in the moment, even if it's messy.
Since high school started, they've been stuck together like two halves of the same disaster - movie nights, dumb jokes, midnight calls, and deep talks under the stars. Everything between them feels solid. Safe. Untouchable.
Until other people get involved.
Until jealousy creeps in where it doesn't belong.
Until Kai finds himself annoyed for reasons he can't explain, and Ren starts questioning why everyone else suddenly feels wrong.
This is not a love story. Not yet.
This is about two idiots trying to hold onto their friendship without realizing they're falling in love.
A true slow-burn BL romance - filled with awkward tension, unspoken feelings, misread signals, complicated family drama, and a loud-mouthed girl named Alberta who might just be the one to make things right.
🌠 Fall for the friendship. Stay for the heartbreak. Cheer for the happy ending.
