Kei Takahashi vanished without a trace, leaving his high school life - and his girlfriend, Nadia - behind. What no one knew: his disappearance was no accident, but a calculated step into the shadows of the Yakuza.
Ten years later, he returns: older, changed, and carrying secrets too dangerous to reveal.
Some pasts refuse to stay buried. Some promises can never be kept. And some truths are better left in the dark.

Beneath Quiet Skies
Their first meetings are simple - a library table, a walk to class, a festival night lit by lanterns. But simplicity becomes something else. Quiet conversations become anchors. And what begins as coincidence slowly burns into the kind of closeness that makes the world feel less heavy. How simple it is to be neat on the outside while hiding a mess inside. That is Ren Takeda - always composed, always precise. For now it's enough to see him as the quiet, careful boy everyone thinks they know. And then there's Hana Kitsumi - his opposite. A messy bun, pastels on her sleeves, graphite staining her fingers. She expresses everything he doesn't, even the parts she once lost, the parts that were taken from her more than once. Together, they become something unexpected: two pieces of a beautiful puzzle, slow-burning and steady. A story not of grand gestures, but of quiet discoveries. A love that is perfect in its simplicity, and warm like a hug after a tough day.
Normal Days With You
Becoming normal and living a quiet life. A talented young man who has just graduated from junior high school and is studying in a new place, has come to a conclusion for his life. He abandoned all ambitions, and changed his mindset about the life he should live. He said, it does not mean that he rejects change or development. But changing according to his own ideal conditions, he considers much more reasonable. On the other hand, there is someone who is always amazed and curious about the course of life. She who is smart is always sure that the mathematical equations she writes are very different from an eraser that falls and suddenly disappears even though it was not stolen. On their journey in their new school life, armed with their respective personalities that they bring. The two of them meet. In the end, how do they interact and respond to the events that occur around them? The answer depends only on how they both act when faced with problems later.

Frosted Rain
Sometimes love doesn't arrive with fireworks. Sometimes, it comes quietly - through shared silences, late-night talks, and the feeling of being seen when you least expect it. Tori never meant to fall for Izumi - the boy who carried winter in his eyes and a past he never spoke about. And Izumi never thought he could love again, not after everything he'd lost. But somewhere between the quiet nights, the unspoken words, and the rain that kept following them - they found something real. Not perfect. Not easy. Just real. A story about grief, healing, and finding warmth after the cold.Complete
