Childhood friends reunite at university after intimate past; awkwardness ensues as they become neighbors and clubmates.
Kentarou still dreams of his childhood friend Haru, who gave him some handjobs as Kentarou pretended to sleep at the last night before he left home for university. Two years later, Haru comes after Kentarou for studying at the same university, but because they never talked about what happened, Kentaro ufeels very uneasy and wants to avoid Haru. Easier said than done, since Haru moves in right next door and even joins the same club activities. Will they overcome their brotherly childhood relationship and be able to become real lovers?
