   Summary

   Riku and Yushi have spent six years orbiting each other—best friends, almost-lovers, and experts at pretending their feelings don't exist. When a new guy enters Yushi's life, Riku's jealousy finally forces everything they've left unsaid to the surface. But after years of missed chances, mixed signals, and emotional baggage, love isn't as simple as finally saying the words. And some people will do anything to keep them apart.
