He was her nothing... and everything. She was the one thing he could never outrun. After years apart, Sakura Haruno finally sees Sasuke again - older, quieter, and carrying the weight of every choice he's made. She's stronger now, but the moment their eyes meet, every buried feeling comes rushing back. Sasuke tells himself he doesn't need anyone. But when Sakura smiles at him gently, stubbornly, like he's still worth saving something in him softens, no matter how hard he fights it. Through stolen glances, unspoken words, and moments that pull them closer than either expected, their hearts begin to find each other again... slowly, painfully, beautifully. In a world full of chaos, their love becomes the one thing that feels real. A story of longing, healing, and two souls who were always meant to meet again.

By the time they reached high school, their friendship had quietly transformed into something deeper, though neither dared to confess it. After graduation, Sakura was accepted into her dream college in Kumo. Leaving Konoha-and Sasuke-shattered her heart, and though Sasuke hid it well, it broke his too.
