High school Sweethearts - Niragi
Y/N and Niragi go to the same high school. Niragi is a nerdy boy, with no friends and the main target of constant bullying. Y/N on the contrary, has a lot of friends, but sees them frankly as puppets to combat the constant boredom she feels in that emotion-lacking mind of hers.

Even our casual exchanges have diminished; Unbeknownst, close yet distant. Kenta moves to Tokyo to start fresh, leaving behind the memories that once defined him. But fate, as always, has other plans. Now a rising documentarian, he begins producing a feature about multicultural youth in Japan-stories of belonging, identity, and silent battles that mirror his own. In the process, he reunites with Yuma, now working as a translator whose quiet resilience hides old scars, and EJ, who carries the weight of a truth long kept from Kenta since that fateful night. As the three reconnect, fragments of the past begin to surface-letters, photographs, and untold moments that piece together a hidden chapter between Jake and Kenta that was never meant to be forgotten. Each revelation cuts deeper, forcing Kenta to confront the reality of what love meant, and what it cost. But just when he begins to find his footing again, Kenta meets someone who is different to the once uncanny resemblance to Jake.
