INTRO / BACKGROUND !

Heya! Alrighty, so as I've mentioned I would like to include a background information page basically going over what may cause some confusion in the upcoming chapters.

Remember: this is a sequel, so all of this includes information from my past book. If you haven't read it, I certainly recommend it.

Now as we all know, Tsukasa is a pain. After he basically ruined Sousuke and Kou's lives, Kou remembered that Hanako granted wishes to the living.. and realized that he could wish for everything to be reversed. With a hefty price—of Sousukes memories—Tsukasa was wiped away both physically and mentally, and Kou and Mitsuba were able to continue on with their lives normally.. almost.

We're now in Kou and Mitsubas freshman year of college, and Kou used some of Sousuke's old discarded photos to get into a special school of photography, that way he could get closer to Sousuke all over again. He has no clue what he's doing obviously, and he's really only there for Mitsuba.

There will be instances where I've decided that Kou will show clear interest in other people, even though he isn't exactly into them. I've done this because I felt as though Sousuke is the type of person to become jealous easily, even if it's something that he likes to deny.

Another thing that I would like to make apparent, is that Sousuke isn't necessarily into Kou.. which is an issue, and will be the main conflict throughout the story. It can be confusing though since he will audibly make the fact apparent that he doesn't really like Kou openly flirting with others around them. Kou knows this, and uses it to his advantage, which isn't really the coolest thing to do—but he figures that Sousuke will eventually crack and tell him that he loves him.

A thing to remember while reading, Kou isn't interested in the many different people he will "show interest in", but rather uses it as a way to get under Mitsubas skin. Love can make a person do very cruel things, even if that means playing around with the feelings of others to make the one he loves jealous.

Another very important topic to remember, Sousuke doesn't remember who Kou is. I've tried my best so far to make Sousuke basically hate Kou, disregarding the fact that I already want to write about them being in their silly little relationship again. Sousuke only see's Kou as a weird college roommate that he's known for a short time, while Kou still see's Mitsuba as the love of his life.

This can understandably be very hectic, and it will be expressed as such through this book.

I appreciate the support and the patience, and I hope you enjoy my new book: Hard To Love.
