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 6.3: The Moment of Understanding
That moment, in the fading light of the afternoon, felt like the first time in ages I could finally breathe. Haruka wasn't trying to fix me or offer some grand solution.
She wasn't pushing me to be anything I wasn't. She was just there, present, understanding.
For the first time in a long time, I didn't feel like I had to pretend.
The quiet between us didn't feel heavy anymore. It felt… safe.
