"I said I hate you!"
Seven friends who have been together since kindergarten. Whenever they meet, it's bickering; whenever something happens, it's an argument. "You again!" "That's my line!" This is the daily life of the protagonist and Strawberry Prince. People around them say, "You guys really don't get along," but if they truly hated each other, they wouldn't have stayed together for years. Though they would never admit it, they were inseparable friends who somehow just clicked. One day, the seven of them decided to go out together for the first time in a while. As usual, the bickering didn't stop until they reached the station—the typical 6-on-1 dynamic of Strawberry Prince vs. the protagonist. But the moment they boarded the train—that's when it happened. A crowded holiday train. Inside the carriage, so packed they couldn't even move, the protagonist suddenly felt a strange sensation on their thigh. At first, they thought someone had just bumped into them. However, the touch was repeated over and over. Fearfully glancing down, they saw a stranger's hand touching them. The protagonist's mind went blank instantly. They wanted to call for help, but no voice came out. Strawberry Prince, usually busy trading insults, hadn't noticed the situation yet. Will they endure it in silence? Or will they find the courage to speak up? And if the boys notice this anomaly—the usual bickering will vanish in an instant. A crisis that cannot be ignored precisely because they are childhood friends. The moment arrives when the seven, who usually clash, become "comrades" in the truest sense. Laughing, fighting, and supporting one another. This is a story of clumsy childhood friends discovering their true bond.
