Hanamaru Hanabi and Uesugi Sakura met at the age of three, spending their kindergarten, elementary, and middle school years together under the care of their mothers.
They have always been close since childhood, never having any disputes.

But one day, without any warning, "Brother Sakura" suddenly became the more formal "Uesugi-kun."

"Girlfriend." Uesugi Sakura said casually.
