Kazuho and Tokio have been best friends since elementary school. As the years went on, Kazuho realized his feelings for Tokio were more than just friends, and he began pulling away from Tokio, desperate to keep his feelings a secret. While once close enough to give each other piggyback rides, the two boys, now high school students, pass each other in the hallway as the distance grows between them. But when Kazuho can’t keep his feelings hidden from Tokio any longer, will the two friends only continue to drift apart, or will it be the start to them experiencing the feelings of first love together?
