OUR YOUTH - "Between Fear and Love" (Our Youth BL series inspired)
Minase Jin and Hirukawa Haruki have spent years by each other's side-first as high school rivals, then as something far deeper. Now, as adults navigating the pressures of work and society, their love remains hidden, trapped behind unspoken fears and the weight of expectations.
To the world, Minase is the perfect man-smart, reliable, and a future husband in the making. No one knows that the person he comes home to is the one he's most afraid to lose. Hirukawa, once a reckless delinquent, has changed for the man he loves, yet he carries the silent ache of being a secret-never seen, never acknowledged.
As the world around them pushes for a life they cannot have, their love is tested. How long can Minase keep hiding? How long can Hirukawa endure the pain of being hidden? And when love is forced into the shadows, will it still be strong enough to survive?
A story about love, sacrifice, and the quiet pain of a relationship that dares not speak its name.
