where wanting hurts

Haruki Kurosawa lives in perfect control. Calm, distant, and unreadable, he keeps his world carefully ordered until one person disrupts everything, Kaito Minase. Loud, charming, and completely unaware, Kaito becomes the center of a feeling Haruki doesn’t want and cannot escape. Forced to work together, the distance between them begins to shrink, and so does Haruki’s composure. Every laugh, every careless touch, every moment Kaito spends with someone else makes the weight in Haruki’s chest heavier. What starts as silent admiration slowly turns into obsession, jealousy, and a dangerous longing Haruki can’t suppress. Because wanting Kaito isn’t simple. It’s confusing, terrifying, and impossible to ignore. And the more he tries to control his heart… the more it slips toward Kaito.
