Into The Rain With You
Kai is popular in high school—charming, surrounded by friends—but always feels alone, as though he's the one constantly reaching out while no one truly sees him. His life changes when he meets Haruka, a quiet and mysterious girl reading alone in the cafeteria during a rainy afternoon. Unlike anyone he's known, Haruka doesn’t demand attention, and her soft-spoken nature pulls Kai in. P.S. THERE WILL ONLY BE ONE GIRL IN THIS NOVEL, and some bros helping another bro out.
Chapter 5.4: Kaito’s advice
Later that week, I ran into Kaito again. It wasn't unusual. We shared a few classes now, and I had been meaning to catch up with him. But this time, he was the one who approached me.
"You okay?" he asked, his expression unreadable.
I gave him a half-shrug. "Yeah, I guess. Things are… a little better, maybe."
He studied me for a moment, his sharp eyes noticing the subtle changes in my demeanor. "Good. But don't forget what I said, okay?"
I raised an eyebrow. "About the distractions?"
"Yeah," Kaito said, looking me directly in the eye. "Don't let them make you forget what you really want. Or who you are."
I nodded slowly, the weight of his words settling deep in my chest.
"Thanks," I said quietly.
Kaito just gave a small, knowing smile before walking away, leaving me alone with my thoughts.
