Ocean Waves || 海がきこえる (I Can Hear the Sea) Fanfiction

Taku has always lived in the shadow of his best friend, Yutaka, and their shared memories from high school in Kochi. But after a complicated falling out, the two drifted apart without ever having the chance to resolve what went wrong. Years later, Taku returns home, only to find that the past still lingers, tangled in the unspoken silence between them.

As the two reconnect, Taku is forced to confront the unresolved feelings he's carried all these years-not just for his friend, but for the complicated girl who once rocked his world, Rikako. A reunion filled with awkward conversations, old regrets, and quiet moments under the moonlight, pushes Taku to face the truths he's long avoided.

With time, the bonds of youth begin to heal, revealing that some connections are stronger than distance and time. In the end, Taku must navigate the complexity of friendship, love, and self-acceptance as he learns that sometimes, the past isn't something to escape from, but something to embrace.
