Prologue

Raindrops pelted against the pavement, creating a symphony of sound that drowned out everything else. The sky was dark and dreary, with no sign of the sun peeking through the clouds. Most people would have stayed indoors on a day like this, but for two students at a high school in Japan, fate had other plans.

Yuji Kato and Akane Sato were two students from vastly different worlds. Yuji was a quiet and reserved student, trying his best to blend into the background and avoid attention. Akane, on the other hand, was one of the most popular girls in school, with a bright smile and bubbly personality that drew people to her.

On this fateful day, their paths crossed in an unexpected way. A chance encounter in the rain would change their lives forever, opening up a world of friendship, love, and healing that neither of them knew they needed.

Little did they know that their bond would be tested by jealous bullies, family conflicts, and the harsh realities of life. But with each other by their side, they would face every challenge head-on, holding onto the hope that their chance encounter in the rain was no coincidence, but rather, destiny at work.

This is their story. A tale of chance encounters, unlikely friendships, and the power of love to conquer all.
