My Childhood Friend Has Designs on Me

Liam, a college student, intended to buy a box of chocolates to confess his feelings to a girl but accidentally purchased an adult-themed gift box that looked identical; he ended up giving it to his childhood friend, Ray, resulting in a massive mix-up. Seizing the moment, Ray confessed a long-held crush, leaving the oblivious Liam flustered and causing him to deliberately avoid Ray. However, Ray’s gentle persistence—manifested through attentive daily care and quiet devotion—gradually broke down Liam’s defenses. Their roommate Milo, whose past online flirtations with various academic high-achievers had left a trail of romantic entanglements, inadvertently played a role in bringing the two together. After navigating misunderstandings, bouts of jealousy, and heart-to-heart conversations, Liam finally recognized his own feelings. The two moved toward each other in mutual affection; with their parents having long since seen through their feelings and offered their blessings, they ultimately found a happy ending together.
