Silent Strings
Y/N Takeda has always been the boy in the background-quiet, reserved, and burdened by responsibilities far beyond his years. After the tragic loss of his father, who taught him everything about music, Y/N dropped out of school to help his mother, Mila, run their small family cafe. Hiding his emotions behind tattoos and a stoic demeanor, Y/N channels his struggles into music but never lets anyone hear him play.
Everything changes when Haru, a charismatic music manager, walks into the cafe and overhears Y/N singing. Haru sees in him the raw, untapped talent needed to complete a rising group of young musicians: the fiery and excitable Aki, the mischievous drummer Ren, and the calm and steady bassist Reiku. Though Y/N initially resists, Haru's offer to join the prestigious Harmony Crest Academy-a school renowned for nurturing musical talent-becomes harder to ignore, especially when it offers a chance to ease his mother's financial burdens.
As Y/N reluctantly steps into the world of music competitions and group dynamics, he finds himself thrust into the role of band leader. Struggling to balance his past traumas with the weight of his newfound responsibilities, he begins to see music not just as an escape, but as a way to connect with others and rediscover himself.
With themes of growth, healing, and self-expression, Silent Strings is a story about finding your voice, even when the world tries to silence you. Through the ups and downs of friendship, rivalry, and performance, Y/N and his bandmates learn that sometimes the quietest voices have the loudest impact. Together, they aim to make their mark on the world, one song at a time.

And he was going to teach her how thrilling a secret can be.
