🏆 A simple deal. An unexpected trip. A feeling impossible to ignore. 📚
+16
Kira is the star of the basketball team: confident, popular, and used to winning both on and off the court. But everything changes when her father dies suddenly. Unable to cope with the loss, her mother leaves on a so-called "work trip" and never comes back. Left on her own, Kira moves in with her older sister, Riri, doing her best to hide the pain behind a stubborn smile.
With her mind in chaos, her grades plummet - and with them, the risk of being cut from the team that means everything to her.
That's when Yumeko appears: quiet, brilliant, and almost invisible to everyone... except Kira. Yumeko agrees to help her with school, but under one condition: Kira must help her get closer to Mary - her best friend, and the girl Yumeko secretly has a crush on.
The plan sounds simple. The feelings, not so much.
Everything changes when the two travel to Los Angeles on a school trip. Kira is set to compete in an international basketball tournament; Yumeko, in the academic math decathlon. Far from home, between games, tests, and confessions under the California sky, their relationship begins to shift - and what started as a strategic deal slowly turns into something unexpectedly real.
Between courts, calculations, family wounds, and surprising discoveries, Kira and Yumeko will learn that the heart always finds paths no plan could ever predict.
