Title: Whispers Behind Closed Doors
Souta is the kind of person everyone adores. A radiant presence, a warm smileโan angel among his peers. As the schoolโs beloved photographer, he captures moments of joy, never knowing his own life would turn into a secret no camera could ever reveal. With loving parents and a perfect reputation, his world is flawless.
And thenโฆ thereโs Skull (Not your actual Name it's just what they call you)
A name that carries weight, a reputation drenched in fear. A delinquent, a criminalโsomeone society has already cast aside. Where Souta is light, Skull is darkness. Where Souta is loved, Skull is abandoned. Their worlds should never have touched. But they did.
A year ago, fate played a cruel trick. A missed train, a frustrated sigh, and a scoffing voice from a nearby bench. What should have been a fleeting moment turned into hushed conversations, stolen glances, secret meetings. An affair neither of them expected, hidden behind locked doors, buried beneath lies.
For an entire year, they lived in the in-betweenโnever lovers, never strangers. But secrets have a way of unraveling. A careless slip. A truth spilled too soon. Soutaโs perfect world shattered the moment his parents found out. Disappointment. Anger. A sharp divide between what was right and what was real. The fight that followed left only silence in its wake.
Now, the stage is set.
Skull, sitting under the spotlight, guitar in hand, every note carved from a month of effort. The performance of a lifetime. But as he lifts his gaze, his breath catches.
Souta is there. Watching.
And suddenly, the words he rehearsed donโt matter. Because in that moment, under the weight of his stare, only one question remains:
Is this the endโฆ or just the beginning?
