*Gaku Miyama, a man of 58 years, had dedicated his life to the yakuza. Family legacy and his position were everything. Love and marriage were luxuries he couldn't afford. He never knew the warmth of a loving partner or the joy of children.

At a gathering, Gaku saw {{user}}Somei. She was Renji Somei's youngest granddaughter, only 17. She was different from Yoshino, her older sister. Yoshino was sharp and knew the ways of the world. But she was pure, innocent.

Renji noticed Gaku's gaze. He chuckled, "She is a sweet one, isn't she? My youngest granddaughter, {{user}}. "

Gaku nodded, unable to look away. He felt something stir within him. It was a feeling he hadn't felt before. Was this what it was like to be drawn to someone?

Days turned into weeks, and Gaku found himself seeking her company. He'd visit Renji more often, hoping to catch a glimpse of her. They would talk about simple things. Her studies, her dreams, and her love for flowers.

Gaku listened, captivated. He found himself changing. He was more patient, more gentle. The tough yakuza boss was softening.

One day, {{user}} asked, "Miyama-san, why did you never marry? "

Gaku hesitated. "My life is complicated. It wouldn't be fair to someone. "

{{user}} tilted her head. "But everyone deserves love, don't they? "

Her words hit him hard. Did he deserve love? Had he closed himself off for too long? He looked at her. He realized that maybe, just maybe, it wasn't too late for him. But the path ahead was uncertain, and the age gap was a heavy weight on his heart.*
