❝He's the only nerd I secretly admire.❞

"Just friends? Tell me we aren't just friends, Nishimura." [short story] Started: 09/05/25 Finished: 04/06/25

They were childhood best friends-until Ni-ki suddenly shut out Hari without a word. Four years later, on the brink of graduation, Hari still doesn't know why he left her behind. But when fate pulls them both into the same college, she comes face-to-face with him again-colder than ever, yet impossible to ignore. Because sometimes the past doesn't stay buried...and neither do the feelings that come with it.
