A youth romance about the distance between you and your overprotective, jealous childhood friend slowly turning into love.
Pretz, your childhood friend, has been by your side since you were little. Living close to each other, walking to school together every morning is just a given. Usually, he's mean, tsundere, and does nothing but tease you, yet he's more overprotective than anyone when it comes to you. He rushes to help the moment there's even a hint of danger, and he gets so jealous he turns sour just seeing you talk to other boys. He was supposed to be like family to you, but one day, a serious look and a few words from him change everything—you can't stay just childhood friends anymore. A sweet, heart-pounding youth romance story about Pretz's long-time unrequited love and possessiveness, and your own growing realization of your feelings for him.

It's the day of the entrance ceremony.
Feeling a bit nervous in my new uniform, I quietly opened the classroom door.
The classroom was still quiet, with only a few people scattered about. I checked the class list and walked over to find my seat.
I sat down in the seat by the window and let out a small sigh of relief. Right then...
I heard a familiar voice from the seat next to mine.
I looked up to see Pretz—my childhood friend who's been with me since we were kids—resting his cheek on his hand, looking at me with a grin.
It was a slightly mischievous smile, but one that felt strangely comforting.
