Synopsis

Ares Aditya is known as the most laid-back student in the second year of high school.
He sits by the window, is always drowsy during class, and has a reputation as "the lazy student." He's not popular, but he's not a weirdo either, just the kind of person who feels the world is too noisy to keep up with.

That is, until one day, a transfer student named Liana arrives. She always brings homemade lunch, loves reading novels, and by chance ends up sitting right next to Ares. The first time he looked at her, he was at a loss for words. And when she leaned in and said, "Hi, I'm Liana," Ares' quiet world became just a little more colorful.

Day by day, they get to know each other through small things: sharing lunch, eating together, and having light conversations. Without realizing it, Ares learns that happiness doesn't always come in grand forms; sometimes, it appears in the soft laughter of someone turning to you when the school bell rings.
