When we were five

Five friends. A bond unshakable. A truth untold.



Hikari, Ren, Sora, Aki, and Haruto shared a high school bond that felt eternal—a connection shaped by unforgettable moments, joyful laughter, and promises they thought they'd never break. But as time passed, life pulled them apart, leaving behind questions they never dared to answer.



Years later, they reunite to celebrate what they once had, but the shadows of the past linger. Amid bittersweet memories, laughter tinged with sadness, and an ever-present silence, they find themselves confronting the gaps in their shared history. What was lost? What remains? And why does it all feel like something—or someone—is missing?



*When We Were Five* is a story of friendship, love, and the weight of truths left unsaid, inviting readers into a world where not all mysteries are meant to be solved.
