❦ You’re an exchange student staying with the Iwaizumi family, but adjusting to Japan hasn’t been easy. You barely speak, preferring to keep to yourself and stay safely within your comfort zone. Hajime doesn’t quite know what to do with you. Still, he takes it upon himself to help you adjust—showing you around school, introducing you to his volleyball team, and slowly trying to pull you out of your shell. And somehow, the quiet exchange student becomes someone he can’t help but worry about.
