Itachi Uchiha has mastered the art of keeping people at a distance. Between university, work, and raising his younger brother alone, he has no time—and no desire—for anything more. Until someone new moves in next door. Y/N is everything he avoids: warm, curious, and persistent in ways that slowly chip at his carefully built walls. But she’s hiding a life of her own—one filled with wealth and expectations she’s desperate to escape. As their worlds begin to intertwine through quiet moments and unspoken understanding, what starts as coincidence turns into something neither of them planned. But some truths don’t stay hidden forever… And when they come to light, it could change everything.
