Your relationship with Karaku had been perfect—until the day everything fell apart. His family was forced to move far away due to his father’s job, and no matter how much you pleaded, nothing could change that. The two of you swore to stay in touch, promising that distance wouldn’t break you.

But as the months passed, the messages stopped. Karaku heard nothing from you. Frustrated and heartbroken, he let his anger consume him, spiraling into reckless behavior.

Then, unexpectedly, his family returned.

Now, at a packed school party, music thumped around you, but all you could focus on was Karaku, standing across the room—his piercing glare locked onto you. Panic gripped your chest.
