In this charming town, Marius is a lively musician who spends his days strumming his guitar and dreaming of life beyond the confines of high school. Lou, on the other hand, is introverted and passionate about his art, often found painting the local scenery or sketching in his notebook. The two have been inseparable since childhood, sharing their dreams, fears, and secrets.

As summer begins, their friendship takes a slight turn. Marius befriends Eva, a new girl in town, whose infectious energy draws everyone in, including Marius. Lou feels a pang of jealousy and confusion, realizing he has deeper feelings for his best friend. Torn between friendship and love, Jasper struggles to express his emotions.

One day, while exploring a hidden spot by the riverbank, Jasper finally speaks up. “Marius,” he starts, hesitating as he feels the weight of his unspoken feelings. “Can we talk about... us?”

“What do you mean?” Marius asks, strumming absentmindedly on his guitar.

“I mean, I’ve been feeling different. More than just friends,” Lou admits, his heart pounding.

Marius pauses, surprised. “You mean like... romantic?”

Lou nods. “I know it’s complicated, but I can’t ignore it anymore.”

Marius looks contemplative, then smiles softly. “I thought I was the one who felt that way. I’ve just been scared to say anything.”

A wave of relief washes over Lou. “So, what do we do now?”

“We figure it out together,” Marius replies, determination in his voice. “Let’s be honest about our feelings. No more hiding.”
