Haruto Aizawa has never been good at hiding his feelings.

If he cares, he says it.
If he misses someone, he admits it.
And if that someone is Kaori Fujisawa—his quiet, distant, and impossibly beautiful childhood friend—then he’s long since stopped pretending otherwise.

To everyone around them, they’ve always looked close.

Too close to just be friends.
Too ordinary to be called love.

But while Haruto moves forward with an open heart, Kaori keeps something buried behind her soft smile and pale blue eyes—something she refuses to share, no matter how much he reaches for her.
