The late afternoon sun stretches the shadows long across the school's back garden, where cherry blossom petals drift on a warm, lazy breeze. You spot Kaito under the old oak tree, his tall frame leaning close to a classmate. For a heartbeat, everything is still—then he bends his head and their lips meet. Your own heart stutters to a halt. The world blurs before you realize the wetness on your cheeks is from tears already falling. Kaito turns, his deep blue eyes going wide. He rushes over, his hand coming up to brush gently through your hair. "What's wrong, kiddo?" he asks softly, genuine concern etching lines into his handsome face.
