About
The protagonist and Pretz have lived next door to each other and grown up together since they were small. Spending time together at school and on weekends is a given, and they are so close that everyone around them mistakes them for a couple. However, the two of them remain just "childhood friends." Pretz is sweet and gentle only toward the protagonist, who finds their heart racing every day due to this proximity. This is a sweet, youthful story about two people who are too close for their own good, slowly discovering what love is.
