Synopsis
Genius Ao secretly loves rival Midori, yearning for intimacy while fearing to ruin their competitive friendship.
"For 8 years, I wished for a morning like this." First place in midterms, winner in the relay. For academic-and-sports genius Ao, this is the first time he's wanted something from the bottom of his heart. And that was Midori, always second place, who saw himself as his rival. He can't control his love for him, and when he sees Midori, he's so happy that he can't help but run up to him. But, afraid to ruin their relationship, he carries the pain and longs for him late at night..."I want the first thing I see when I wake up to be your eyelashes."
