You were supposed to leave him behind. The boy who challenged you, competed with you, annoyed you to your very core, until he didn't. Jean Kirstein, your academic rival, your almost-friend, your first love... and the person you left without saying goodbye. You thought distance would make it easier. That burying yourself in ambition, in grief, in survival, would make you forget. But nothing could quite erase the burn he left on your skin, or the look he gave you the night everything fell apart. Now you're back in Paradis. Just for a few months, just long enough to fulfill a promise, to see your friends again, to pretend that the past doesn't hurt anymore. But fate has other plans. Because the first time you see him again... he's not standing. He's broken, quiet, older...and yet everything you once loved still lingers in his eyes. From academic enemies to something impossibly tender and undone, this is a slow-burn story about growing up, losing everything, and finding your way back to the person who always felt like home. "Do you think I have forgotten about you?"

A new apartment was supposed to mean a clean slate. You didn't plan on inheriting two roommates, a whole friend group, and a boy who watches you like you're a question he's afraid to ask. The people you meet feel close, too close, bound by something they don't talk about and change the subject to avoid. But Jean Kirstein is different. He keeps his distance, guarded and sharp, yet somehow you keep running into the version of him he doesn't show anyone else. Not on purpose. Not at first. Late-night hang-outs, unexplained tension, and the sense that everyone is holding their breath around you pull you deeper into things you were never supposed to notice. And while you try to build your own new beginning, you can't shake the feeling that this group's past is catching up to all of you. Because starting over is easy, until the past you didn't want to remember existing starts looking you in the eyes. Especially when those eyes belong to Jean.

I had been part of the scouts for a few years now, training in Captain Levi's squad. I had thought that I had gotten used to the routines, the people, the missions. But out of the blue, I felt myself drawn to the one person who I thought I would always hate. I was far more surprised when he expressed an interest in me, but I knew it would always just be physical. Right?
