Seven-year-old Hoshino Sakura is the most beloved little princess of the Genji Group.
She has blond wavy waist-length hair, ocean blue eyes, and is as beautiful as a delicate doll. However, due to poor health since she was a child, she has lived in her grandfather Kazuya's villa for a long time and was protected by her family, maids, housekeepers and tutors. She received a lady's education and was trained by the heirs of the Genji Group. She is smarter and calmer than children of the same age, and she also understands the distance between people better.
Until one day, she became a "chosen child" and went to the Digimon world, where she met her partner Patmon, who loved to act coquettishly and eat snacks, and always called her "Sakura."
The appearance of Patamon slowly made Sakura, who was originally introverted and quiet, become more lively, and also gave the Hoshino family a special member who was loved as the youngest child.
Later, the Hoshino family moved next door to the Minano family.
That day, Hoshino Lily, Hoshino Yuji and Hoshino Yang took Sakura to visit their neighbor Minamino Shiho. Sakura meets seven-year-old Shuichi Minamino for the first time.
With short red hair and green eyes, he is quiet, cold and distant, like a child who sees the world earlier than his peers.
However, what Sakura doesn't know is that this boy named Nanno Shuichi is actually not an ordinary human being.
He is Kurama.
The monster is reincarnated as a human child and hides in a human family. Only his mother Shiho Minamino is the soft presence in his heart. To the outside world, he is indifferent, cautious, rational, and does not approach anyone easily.
Until he discovered the blond girl who moved next door, and the Patamon next to her who was regarded as a "doll" by everyone but could move, talk, and act coquettishly.
From then on, Kurama began to secretly pay attention to Hoshino Sakura.
He originally just thought she was special.
Very smart, very calm, very good at hiding emotions, and very good at keeping people at a distance.
In school, the two became deskmates, going to school together and finishing school together. Sakura ignored him indifferently, and was gentle but kept a distance from the classmates around her, because she thought Minano Shuichi was strange and didn't like others getting close to her.
But Kurama cares about her more and more.
Until one day, Sakura came to school with a high fever. Her cheeks were burning red, but her eyes were still cold. Faced with Minano Shuichi's concern, she only said: "Mind your own business."
But after school, she finally couldn't hold on any longer. She walked unsteadily, became confused and almost fell.
It was Minamino Shuichi who carried her on his back.
Drowsily, Sakura asked: "Why are you meddling in other people's business?"
The red-haired boy who was carrying her was silent for a moment and replied: "Because I see your rare cute side and I feel uneasy."
After that day, their relationship began to slowly change.
Minamino Shuichi came to Hoshino's house to visit the sick Sakura, chatting with her, playing games with her, and quietly listening to her talk about her previous life in Minamoto Kazuya's villa. Although Sakura was awkward, she would blush and whisper, "Thank you."
Patamon is very wary of this.
It doesn't like Nanno Shuichi and always feels that this red-haired boy will steal Sakura's favor from it. It would deliberately lie in Sakura's arms and act coquettishly, steal Sakura's snacks, and even have a cold war with her because she was scolded by her. But whenever Sakura is in danger, it will be the first to rush out to protect her.
As time goes by, Sakura and Nanno Shuichi gradually transform from neighbors and tablemates to truly close childhood sweethearts.
After the relationship became familiar enough, Kurama finally confessed to Sakura that he was a youkai.
He had expected her to be afraid, to question, to stay away.
But Sakura just looked at him calmly, and then said with a smile: "I see. That's not surprising, because I am not an ordinary human being."
This too calm reaction made Kurama feel dissatisfied for the first time.
He discovered that Hoshino Sakura was more mysterious than he thought.
And his care for her has already exceeded the limit of ordinary friends.
It's just that Sakura is emotionally insensitive and always regards Nanno Shuichi as an important friend, never realizing Kurama's secret love for her hidden behind his calm expression.
Later, Sakura was kidnapped by human traffickers.
Patamon and Kurama rush to save her. In the crisis, Sakura picked up a knife and cut off her precious golden hair in order to prevent Kurama from getting hurt. Her waist-length hair was scattered all over the floor, but she just smiled and comforted the guilty Kurama: "Short hair is also very easy. In fact, I have always wanted to change my hairstyle, but my family didn't agree."
Since then, Kurama has developed an almost obsessive love for Sakura's hair.
He accompanies her to grow her hair long again, and doesn't like others touching her hair, because he likes the way she stands quietly in the sun with her long hair hanging loose.
This is a story about a seven-year-old red-haired boy and a blond girl, from neighbors, deskmates, friends to childhood sweethearts, to a long-lasting secret love and growing bond.
They go to school together, get out of school together, and experience childhood awkwardness, secrets, danger, protection and tenderness together.
Little by little, Kurama learned to cherish someone in the human world.
Little by little, Sakura learned to let go of her sense of distance and put the red-haired boy in her heart who was always cold but would protect her.
But she doesn't know it yet.
Minami Shuichi, who had been walking home with her since she was seven years old, had secretly fallen in love with her a long time ago.
