They met before they knew each other's names.
Before gangs. Before blood. Before love became dangerous. Because this story was never about fighting - it was about learning how to stay.
Rei never meant to fall for Oya High's broken king. Murayama never planned to love anyone quietly. But when secrets unravel and loyalty turns lethal, they're forced to confront what happens when two people choose each other in a world that demands violence.
Sneak peak!
"Don't," Rei whispered.
Murayama stopped.
They were standing too close - close enough that he could feel the warmth of her breath, the hesitation in it.
"You're shaking," he said quietly.
"I know."
He hesitated, like the next move mattered more than any fight he'd ever been in.
"If I touch you," he warned, "I won't pretend it doesn't mean something."
Her fingers curled into his jacket.
"Then don't pretend."
A beat.
Murayama leaned down - not all the way. Just enough that the space between them felt intentional.
"This ends badly," he said.
Rei lifted her chin anyway. "So does everything worth choosing."
Somewhere nearby, a phone rang.
Neither of them moved.
