A love story about the girl who protected him... and the man who never forgot.
When Aika Tanaka—legal investigator, martial artist, and unwavering protector—steps into a corporate case riddled with corruption, she never expects the quiet IT analyst to become her greatest ally. But Ren isn’t just brilliant. He’s familiar. The way he looks at her, the way he trusts her… it tugs at memories she buried long ago.
Ren remembers everything.
From the rooftop where she saved him as a boy…
To the lunches they shared beneath a blooming Sakura tree…
To the day she vanished without goodbye.
Now a wheelchair-bound man hiding behind screens and code, Ren has lived in the quiet ache of her absence for years. When danger closes in again, it’s Aika who rescues him—this time from a locked server room and a company hiding too many secrets. What begins as partnership turns into something deeper. But with the past unravelling and emotions rising, Ren must find the courage to tell her who he is—and that she’s been his reason to keep going.
She held his storm. Now, can he be her calm?
A deeply moving, slow-burn romance of strength, vulnerability, and the kind of love that never lets go.
