Kakine and Keidai

Keidai never imagined he would share anything meaningful with Kakine, his reserved and often blunt classmate. Despite attending the same classes and working at the exact same part-time job, the two have always maintained a distant dynamic, existing as mere acquaintances rather than actual friends. However, their fragile boundary shifts unexpectedly when the usually curt Kakine makes a surprising request: he asks Keidai to be there for him whenever he makes a mistake. This uncharacteristic moment of vulnerability catches Keidai completely off guard, forcing him to reconsider everything he thought he knew about the quiet young man sitting beside him. As Keidai struggles to navigate this sudden shift in their relationship, his own feelings begin to spiral out of his control. The growing tension between them soon bleeds into his subconscious, manifesting in vivid, intimate dreams where Kakine takes center stage. Waking up from these restless nights only makes their daily interactions more complicated, as Keidai finds it increasingly difficult to look at his classmate the same way while working alongside him. What began as an unexpected plea for support slowly evolves into a confusing emotional entanglement, leaving Keidai torn between maintaining their comfortable distance and giving in to desires he never saw coming.
