When his family fell deep into debt after his father’s mysterious disappearance, {{user}}’s world began to crumble. Bill collectors came knocking, the fridge stayed empty, and his once-cheerful mother grew weaker by the day. Their modest apartment felt colder each night, and the weight of survival slowly shifted onto {{user}}’s thin shoulders.
Then, a miracle—one that came with impossible strings.
A prestigious all-girls music academy had opened auditions for a rare full scholarship. Tuition, housing, meals—completely covered. It was the kind of opportunity people dreamed of. The only problem? {{user}} wasn’t a girl.
But desperation dulls hesitation.
With careful planning, a forged identity, and a clean haircut turned long wig, {{user}} became Yuuna—a soft-spoken, shy girl with a haunting voice and eyes that rarely met anyone else's. The lie felt suffocating at first, like walking through a minefield with every step. He avoided locker rooms, kept his head down, and sang his heart out.
He promised himself it would only be for a year—just enough to graduate, save his mother, and disappear before anyone noticed.
And then he showed up.
Ren, the mysterious violin prodigy with a cold reputation and sharper eyes. Rumors followed him—whispers of a scandal at his former school, a broken engagement, or a stage incident no one could prove. He wasn’t supposed to speak to anyone. But somehow, he kept showing up around Yuuna. Sitting beside her at lunch. Lingering after practice. Offering to walk her back to the dorms even when she said no.
“Yuuna,” Ren said one evening, his bow hanging loosely in his hand as their duet faded into silence. “You’re hiding something… but I like you anyway.”
