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

It has been a day; Kiyoko was admitted in the hospital.


Zehan was coming back from the apartment. He went to bring some of Kiyoko's clothes.


He glanced back at the lady standing outside the VIP patient ward.


Zehan continued walking and entered the hospital room where Kiyoko was in. 


Kiyoko was sitting on the couch in front of the window. 


The walls of the room were bright yellow with quite a few unnecessary arts hanging around the room.


Kiyoko stared outside the window. Through the window the setting sun bathed the room making the room colors of orange and yellow.


"Kiyoko…" Zehan called and lifted a box of sweet cakes to show it to Kiyoko, with a smile.


Kiyoko turned to face him and smiled back.


She wore a blue hospital gown and socks. Her hair was tied up in a neat pigtail.


Some moments later, Kiyoko asked," Is she still here?" 


Zehan was arranging the bag on the cabinet beside the bed. He was startled but he calmly said," I saw her standing outside."


Kiyoko signed before she continued," But I could not say a single thing to her."


Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Shizuka Itamori was standing at the door.


"Kiyo…" Shizuka sat next to Kiyoko. "I am free today. I am going to talk with you the whole day." She held Kiyoko's hand.


"Yeah…!" Shizuka said with lots of confidence." I am here for you."


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


It was a chilly day in the month of December. The evening sky was overcast with clouds and chilly winds were blowing.


Zehan took a glance at the wall clock before he continued focusing on his painting.


Zehan knew Kiyoko spent much more time busy in her work. Even though she did not show outside, Zehan knew she was trying to concentrate on her work to avoid any ominous thoughts in her mind.


He knew Kiyoko always stared blankly in a daze when she tried to rest.


It was 9 pm when Kiyoko returned from her work.


At dinner, Kiyoko acted normally. She talked about what happened that day at the hospital. After their dinner, Kiyoko sat on the couch to watch the television.


The weather outside was dire, matching Kiyoko's continually dismal mood perfectly as she sat on the couch. 


The television played a documentary on human anatomy. This show was Kiyoko's favorite.


Kiyoko's eyes were fixed and were in a daze. She glanced at the dark sky outside the balcony.


Zehan was standing, leaning against the kitchen cabinet. 


He silently walked towards Kiyoko and sat at the feet of the couch. 


Kiyoko glanced back at Zehan. The despairing look in her eyes spoke about her current state of mind.


Zehan grabbed her hands and slightly touched his forehead to her hands.
