Hana never expected the school's notorious bad boy to change. She only wanted him to stop vandalizing the hallways, stop sneaking cigarettes onto the roof, stop skipping class like the rules meant nothing. But when she was assigned to deliver a warning-ten days until expulsion-she didn't expect silence to be his only reply. Not rudeness. Not charm. Just silence.
That silence lingered. It followed her to empty classrooms where she scrubbed paint off walls, to late nights sorting student council files, and to the basketball court where she sometimes caught him watching her instead of the game.
And Riki... he never knew someone like Hana. She wasn't loud. She wasn't pushy. She just existed-softly, stubbornly-like the wind that kept returning, no matter how hard he tried to ignore it. And slowly, unknowingly, something began to change. In the way he waited until she left before lighting a cigarette. In the way he helped her clean without a word. In the way her voice made him forget the noise at home.
What started as a warning became something neither of them had words for. An unspoken comfort. A quiet pull. A first feeling.
But even the gentlest wind can't stop a storm.
When past scars, pressure from Riki's powerful family, and the lure of something darker begin to resurface, the delicate thing between them is tested. In a world that never gave them space to breathe, can something this fragile survive?
