On her seventeenth birthday, high schooler Mizuho Nishino experiences a bitterly underwhelming day after being rejected by a crush and receiving little notice from her family. Seeking solace, she gathers with her four male childhood friends: serious swimmer Shin Hazawa, gentle athlete Shugo Aoi, charismatic flirt Kashiwagi Airu, and cheerful younger boy Izumi Saito. Having grown up together in the same seaside apartment complex, their tight-knit circle felt permanent and purely platonic. However, everything shifts when Shin unexpectedly kisses Mizuho on the beach, shattering their comfortable dynamic and forcing all four boys to confront their long-suppressed romantic feelings for her.
