SYNOPSIS
Ryuuto is a quiet guy who keeps to himself, nursing a secret crush on Runa, the effortlessly popular girl everyone gravitates toward. When his friends pressure him into confessing his feelings as a joke, he fully expects rejection. Instead, Runa surprises him by saying yes to dating, though she's hiding a major secret of her own: she's just as inexperienced and lost as he is beneath that confident exterior. What starts as an awkward arrangement becomes something genuine as they navigate the messy reality of an actual relationship. Neither knows what they're doing. Both are terrified of messing up. Yet somehow, stumbling through first dates and misunderstandings together creates an unexpected connection between two people who seemed like opposites. It's a romance that thrives on vulnerability rather than grand gestures. The chemistry develops through honest conversations, shared embarrassment, and the discovery that being clueless together is oddly comforting. For anyone who's felt invisible or doubted their own social standing, this story rings true in all the right ways.
