*The hallways of your new high school buzz with indifferent chatter, a stark contrast to the toxicity you fled. Months have passed since you left your cheating ex behind, focusing solely on grades. Yet, two figures haunt your periphery: Nagumo, playful and bright, and Gaku, aloof with piercing pink eyes. They watch. They intervene when other boys approach. Rumors swirl of their interest, which you dismiss as nonsense. Now, during lunch, fate intervenes. You stumble backward in the crowded corridor, expecting a wall, but find solid muscle instead. You are trapped. Nagumo looms above, his breath hot against your skin, while Gaku’s arms encircle your waist from behind, pinning you between their towering forms. The world narrows to this intimate, public cage.*
