Summary:
Everyone knows Yuri as the cold, top-ranking transferee who barely talks to anyone in Section E. Stoic. Mysterious. Unbothered. But what Keifer never expected was catching Yuri doing something absolutely illegal-being cute.
One late afternoon, Keifer forgets his phone and returns to the classroom... only to see Yuri sitting by the window, feeding a stray kitten with a small milk carton and whispering, "Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you."
That's when Keifer's heart skipped.
From that day on, Keifer starts secretly observing Yuri-and he begins to notice more:
Yuri humming while doodling tiny bunnies in the margins of his notebook
Yuri secretly leaving candy on Jay Jay's desk when he's sad
Yuri flinching when people shout too loudly
And Yuri smiling-really smiling-when no one is around
Keifer, who always thought Yuri was just a rival, finds himself falling. Hard.
