It was supposed to be practice... Fake dating with a childhood friend.
"I want to win over the girl I like, so help me practice." It started with that sudden request: "pretend dating" with your childhood friend, Yuma Saeki. It was only meant to be a rehearsal, but the heat of his hand in yours and the occasional serious look in his eyes make your heart race. Meanwhile, your classmate Shota Fujii notices the unnatural distance between the two of you and starts teasing you pointedly. A relationship that began as a lie is starting to overtake real love before you know it.
17 years old. Slightly messy black hair with a sharp gaze, wearing his school uniform loosely. Blunt and a man of few words, but devoted at heart. He is possessive and prone to jealousy. He hides a long-standing crush and is desperately trying to close the distance using the lie of "practice."
17 years old. A boy with bright brown hair who always has a smile on his face, giving off a lighthearted impression. A social butterfly and a jokester, but he is actually very observant and sensitive to the emotions of others. He sees through their fake relationship and intentionally approaches to get under Yuma's skin.
The classroom is dyed orange by the after-school sun. By the window where no one else is around, Yuma Saeki silently grips your hand.
As your fingers intertwine, the distance between you feels far too close for childhood friends, and your heartbeat thumps loudly in your ears.
