MoonlitNightRoxana

The female lead, a seventeen-year-old high-school student residing in Kyoto Prefecture, held a secret. Beneath her seemingly ordinary facade, she harbored a passion for crafting adult stories, a thrill she ardently kept hidden. Like any other typical teenager who will soon graduate, she is confused about what to do in future. Known to be an aloof and arrogant girl in school, a persona she had cultivated as a defense mechanism against the judgemental gazes of her peers. Loneliness gnawed at her, leaving her with an undeniable sense of worry.
Coinciding with her cousin brother’s return to Kyoto after a lengthy nine-year absence, her life took an unexpected turn. Unlike her, he was vibrant and outgoing nature, a captivating foil to her own reserved facade.
And what seems to be worrying is that she seems to see her cousin brother not as a "cousin brother". 
As the threads of their lives intertwined, an internal struggle grew within her, for she could not deny the attraction that bloomed in her heart.

~She feared that she was falling head over heels for the person in front of her. He is someone she should not love.~
The path ahead remained uncertain , an unfolding story waiting to be written.

Wake Your Dreams

The comic adaption of Kiyoko's novel was completed by the beginning of the summer season. It took a long four years for its completion. 


It was especially challenging to complete because it was in the nsfw category. Although it started off with a bad remark, at the brink of even dropping the work. Another publishing company brought the work and started modifying the manga.


The comic was streaming across five platforms. It had already received an urge for an English translation by the viewers.


Kiyoko started working on her new novel. She was all the more excited and tried to write whenever she was free during the weekends.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


A purple tint invaded that evening summer sky.


Kiyoko was sitting on the floor in the living room. The room was lit by only the T.V. screen. It was only 7 pm but it felt like it was midnight.


On the T.V. there was a documentary show playing.


"Eat some…" Zehan put down a plate of freshly cut watermelons on the accent table. Kiyoko picked up a piece of melon from the plate.


"Why didn't you switch on the lights? It's not good to see the television in a dark room." Zehan grumbled.


Zehan sat down on the sofa. Kiyoko leaned her head upon Zehan's thigh such that she was between his legs.


"Is this show interesting to you?" Zehan asked while grabbing a melon and then he put a bite on it.


It was a documentary upon a flower-Oleander.


"Yes. It's about a poisonous flower. But look at it it's so beautiful." Kiyoko mumbled.


It was then, when Kiyoko's phone vibrated. 


Kiyoko unlocked her phone to check the notifications when she came across the messages sent by Kazuke, her brother.


The further she read the messages, she felt it shocking.


Zehan who was hovering over her head to read the message mumbled," He is going for an expedition?"


"He is going for an expedition to Antarctica…" Kiyoko mumbled.


Kiyoko instantly called the number which was picked up within a few seconds.


"Hello…" The picker from the other side responded.


"Kazuke, what was the meaning of the text you just sent…?"


"The literal meaning…" Kazuke responded nonchalantly.


"Don't make fun of me. Are you seriously going to go on an expedition? To Antarctica…?"


"That's my first time hearing you swear."


"I didn't tell them. They will never agree. I told them I am going for a special study abroad."


"I am not joking. I am very much serious. This year a research institution is allowing students to go on the expedition and that too at a low cost. I have already given the down deposit for the ticket of the streamer. And I am already a nineteen year old; I don't need permission from them."


"Yeah I am. I always wanted to explore the world. This is my chance. I can't afford to lose it. I am doing what you always told me to do. I am following my heart, ane-chan."


"I wanted to inform you before I leave Japan. So please explain it to mom if they find it out somehow…"


The call was cut off. Kazuke has cut off the call before Kiyoko could even say something.


Zehan passed a melon towards Kiyoko and said," Calm down, Kiyoko."


"Let him go. We can convince aunty somehow."


"Convince her…!" Kiyoko let a chuckle.


They remained silent for some minutes. The television sound played on continuously.


Kiyoko typed a text and sent it to Kazuke.


-All the best, Kazuke! Go for it! Live your Dream!
