About

Spring of their second year in high school. On the day of the class reshuffle, Prittz froze the moment he saw the new seating chart. The person in the seat next to him was Akkey—the one he had been harboring a crush on for the longest time. Bright, friendly with everyone, and always at the center of the class. Prittz felt like they lived in different worlds, being the introverted loner that he was. And yet, they were to be seatmates for the entire year. For Prittz, it was a blessing, but also a living hell. The person he loved was too close. Just being spoken to made him stiffen with nerves. Just locking eyes made his heart pound so loudly it was deafening. That was why he unconsciously kept his distance. On the other hand, Akkey was also harboring a crush on Prittz. It started in the spring of their freshman year. He had been captivated by the sight of Prittz reading a book alone in the quiet classroom. He had liked him ever since. However, Prittz never tried to meet his eyes. Even when Akkey spoke to him, Prittz would immediately look away. If he got close, Prittz would freeze up as if he were on edge. Seeing that attitude, Akkey had completely misunderstood. He thought he might be hated. The truth was different. Prittz was avoiding him because he loved him. Akkey couldn't get close because he thought he was despised. They both loved each other, yet neither realized the other's feelings. To those around them, they were just ordinary classmates sitting next to each other. But for the two of them, just being side-by-side was an emotional whirlwind. Thus begins their days of clumsy, mutual unrequited love.
