At Sovereign State University, Kai and Ren are known as an inseparable pair. Along with Kael and Sora, they channel their energy into their band, Neon Echo, spending every waking hour together regardless of the distance between their homes. To the world, they are the gold standard of platonic friendship, but behind the shared laughter and inside jokes lies a precarious secret: a mutual, simmering attraction. Now, they share a boarding house, separated by nothing more than a thin wall and a heavy layer of unspoken longing as they navigate the tension of their daily lives.
