Ray Of Sunshine|Ongoing

Ma. Elayne Galvez often compares herself to a mushroom with a knife. Small, aloof, and quiet, she might seem harmless at first glance, but underneath her calm exterior lies a sharpness that few ever see. She is the wallflower at every party, the one who stands at the edge, clutching a book, her mind far from the noise of the crowd. Just her and the stories that make sense of everything. For a long time, she thought this would be her life-forever tucked away in the safety of her own little world.

She was wrong.

Not when she encounters the infamous, Akira Matsumoto. He is everything Elayne isn't. Where she is still and withdrawn, he is kinetic and unpredictable. He's like a storm cloud, sudden and disruptive, casting a shadow over everything she thought she knew about herself. A devil in disguise, he's the kind of boy who makes noise and chaos follows him wherever he goes, the kind who rattles your life just by walking into a room.

With a sharp grin and eyes that seem to challenge everything, he's the last person Elayne wants to be around-and yet, he's impossible to ignore.

Every encounter with Akira leaves her feeling like the sudden rush of wind before a storm. He doesn't ask for permission to invade her space. He doesn't care about the rules. His very presence pushes her to confront the things she's spent years avoiding: change, uncertainty, and-most terrifying of all-herself.

She used to be content, observing life from the edges. But now, with Akira around, she wonders what it might be like to step into the chaos he brings.
Because Akira doesn't care about books, or quiet corners, or walls. He cares about what's raw, what's real. And slowly, with every sarcastic remark and every challenge he throws her way, Elayne begins to realize that the world is not all about rainbows and sunshine. In the end, Akira might be the storm that destroys her world. Or maybe, just maybe, he's the force that will help her rebuild it into something she never thought possible.
