That Love In Autumn (秋のあの恋 / Aki no Ano Koi):
Haruki and Akihiko were inseparable since childhood-two halves of the same world. Best friends who shared laughter, secrets, and dreams. But when their friendship blossomed into love in high school, it all fell apart. What was effortless as friends became impossible as lovers. The fights were endless, the breakup inevitable. And though they parted ways, one last night of passion before graduation left a mark neither could erase.
Five years later, Haruki is working quietly as a barista and freelance editor, while Akihiko has become a rising young music professor. By a twist of fate, they move in as next-door neighbors-only a balcony's breath apart.
Old wounds resurface. Long-buried feelings return. Between jealousy, unspoken apologies, and the ache of what they once had, Haruki and Akihiko must face the question: can love survive after being broken once before?
A story of youth, regret, and the chance to rediscover a love that never truly faded-That Love in Autumn.
