Beneath the Law
Justice isn't always blind - sometimes, it's watching from the shadows.
Rin Takanashi was just seventeen when he witnessed a politician's brutal murder - a secret buried beneath lies and silence. Now 22, quiet and scarred, he's chasing justice through the law.
Kaito Morozumi, 24, is a final-year law student with a dangerous reputation and a dark past tied to the same crime. Cold, brilliant, and untouchable - but haunted by secrets that could destroy them both.
Thrown together in a legal clinic, Rin and Kaito clash, clash, and clash again - until the lines between enemies and allies blur... and something deeper takes root.
In a world where the law can be twisted, and trust is a luxury neither can afford, how far will they go for truth? And how much will they risk for each other?
Justice. Secrets. Betrayal. Love born in the shadows.
Will they expose the truth... or be consumed by it?
