Sae Iwata was never the fragile kind. Tall, strong, built like someone who could carry the world on her shoulders, she spent her childhood guarding Kouki Kamishiro, a boy so gentle he seemed to need protecting from everything. Then he grew taller. More sure of himself. And just like that, the space between them widened until Sae was standing somewhere behind him, unsure if she even mattered anymore. Near the end of middle school they cross paths again, and there he is: still kind, still the same Kouki. Whatever she thought had cooled off comes rushing back. She tries to bury it. She fails. High school drops them in the same classroom, and now she has to sit there every day, watching him laugh with other girls, girls who fit the picture she never did. Every morning she tells herself it's nothing, just a leftover crush. Every time he smiles at her, her heart refuses to cooperate. Can a girl who's spent her whole life being the strong one finally believe she's allowed to be loved by the boy who outshines everyone around him?
