This is really just a gently flowing, mostly calm and "feel good" romance. It's about two guys who were both secretly in love with each other in high school when they were friends, but lost touch after school ended. Now both are 25 years old they have a chance encounter as they are both living in the same city and they pick up their friendship where they left off. This time though, they both confess their feelings to each other and they get together as a couple. Problems are few, one has an emotionally unstable mother and the other has some family issues and past relationship issues, but all of that is fairly minor. It does have a happy ending. If you're looking for a cute romance without a lot of major hurtles, this is definitely a good one to watch.
