Some songs never really fade. Haruki Fujimoto has learned to keep a careful distance from people. He can laugh with his classmates, help when needed, and call them friends-but getting too close is something he stopped allowing himself a long time ago. Then Mizuki Hanazawa enters his quiet high-school life. She's cheerful, persistent, strangely familiar, and somehow makes it easy for Haruki to forget the walls he's spent years building. As school days turn into shared lunches, festival preparations, unexpected conversations, and moments neither of them quite knows how to explain, fragments of a forgotten childhood begin finding their way back. A playground. Two swings. Waffles shared at sunset. And an unfinished song that neither of them truly forgot. A slow-burn coming-of-age romance about friendship, forgotten memories, second chances, and finding your way back to someone you didn't realize you'd lost.

Behind the school gates, a bully hungers for power, a jealous friend watches every move, and powerful men are circling a throne. As old rivalries between the Korean mafia and the Yakuza stir, Aurora must decide who to trust. Because in a world built on loyalty and betrayal, the person you least expect may be the one you can't live without.
