cotton candy. | Hitto Kakucho

"In the end, it's always me who survives."

Kakucho had been faced with life-threatening tragedies multiple times in his life. Somehow, he always made it out alive, but not the people he loved who were also involved in the incidents. It was almost as if the world hated him and wanted to punish him. For what exactly, he didn't know. Maybe he did something terrible in his past life, and this current life was a punishment for him.

He had been lost in the darkness ever since he lost Izana. He joined Bonten just to find a purpose in his life again. And for the past few years, he had dedicated his life to the gang, no matter what they dealt with. There were things he didn't agree with, but he could never leave them. Bonten was all he had.

That was until she showed up in his life.

She was the epitome of a walking sunshine. She brought colours to his dull life. While he was all dark and gloomy, everything about her was bright and sunny.

He wasn't supposed to keep her in his dangerous life, but how could he push her away when she was the only one capable of making him feel alive? And, for the first time in many years, happy?
