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.
Some days, the weight of the world feels like it's too much to carry. Like the air is too thick to breathe, like you're trapped in a place you can't escape. But other days, the world feels more manageable, as though the fog has lifted and you can see things clearly for the first time.
That's what it felt like when I woke up this morning—like the fog had been pulled away just enough for me to take in a deep breath.
But I knew better than to get too comfortable.
