Chapter 7: Long-Distance Love

Kazuki left for Paris to study art, while Aoi stayed in Tokyo to pursue her music career. The distance tested their relationship, but they remained determined to make it work. Late-night video calls, letters, and surprise visits kept their love alive.

Kazuki's art flourished, inspired by the beauty of Paris and his longing for Aoi. Aoi's music gained recognition, her songs resonating with the emotions of love and separation. Despite the miles between them, their hearts remained connected, and their love only grew stronger.

The transition to a long-distance relationship was challenging for both Kazuki and Aoi. The time difference made it difficult to coordinate calls, and the physical distance made it hard to find comfort in each other's presence. However, they were determined to make it work.

Kazuki immersed himself in his studies, finding inspiration in the vibrant art scene of Paris. He often wandered the streets, sketchbook in hand, capturing the essence of the city. His professors were impressed with his work, and he quickly gained recognition for his unique style.

Aoi, meanwhile, focused on her music career. She signed a contract with a major record label and began recording her first album. Her songs were filled with raw emotion, reflecting her love for Kazuki and the pain of their separation. Her music resonated with audiences, and she quickly gained a following.

Despite their busy schedules, Kazuki and Aoi made time for each other. They had regular video calls, where they would talk about their days, share their successes and challenges, and remind each other of their love. They also wrote letters, filling them with words of encouragement and love. Each letter was a tangible reminder of their bond, something they could hold on to during lonely nights.

Kazuki surprised Aoi with a visit during the winter holidays. He had saved up his money and booked a flight to Tokyo, wanting to be with her for Christmas. Aoi was overjoyed when she saw him, and they spent a magical week together, creating new memories and strengthening their bond.

Their love for each other only grew stronger with time. The distance made them appreciate each other more, and they learned to communicate openly and honestly. They supported each other's dreams, finding joy in the other's success.
