Synopsis
Honest student Tamiya falls for beloved but guarded teacher Shirasaka, whose past trauma blocks their deepening connection.
Tamiya, a straightforward student whose brutal honesty often lands him in hot water, finds himself captivated by Shirasaka, a beloved teacher at his school. Shirasaka is everything a student could admire—dedicated, compassionate, and respected by all. Yet beneath his warm smile lies a shadow that keeps others at a distance. As Tamiya's feelings deepen, he begins to sense that Shirasaka carries a heavy burden from his past, one that makes him reluctant to open his heart to anyone. In a relationship where the lines between teacher and student blur, Tamiya must navigate not only the complexities of his own emotions but also the silent walls Shirasaka has built around himself. Can genuine affection bridge the gap between them, or are some wounds too deep to heal?
Tamiya, a student whose honesty tends to be so blunt that it gets him in trouble, has fallen in love with Shirasaka, a teacher from his school. He's an excellent teacher, very caring and popular among students, but because of his dark past, there seems no hope for Tamiya to win over his heart. In the past, Shirasaka had a relationship with Iogi, his senior on the track team, and they were both in an accident which was Shirasaka's fault. Iogi became seriously injured and was forced to give up his athletic dreams. Since then Iogi has used Shirasaka's guilt to keep him close. Is there any chance for Shirasaka and Tamiya to be together?
