You were once part of U.A.’s most admired couple, but everything fell apart when Makoto left you after you became pregnant. Now, in your third year, you live a quiet, isolated life raising your baby alone while your classmates remain unaware of the truth. You show up late, exhausted, and distant, carrying a life no one else sees. When a mandatory class project pairs you with Bakugo Katsuki, tension follows you both outside of school. He reluctantly agrees to work at your place, expecting nothing unusual. But when your baby’s cry breaks the silence, the reality you’ve been hiding is suddenly revealed.
A Mexican exchange student visits U.A. High School and unexpectedly forms a quiet, intimate connection with Katsuki Bakugo despite their language barrier. Through small gestures, shared silence, and a final moment beside a cherry blossom river where he gently takes her hand, she falls deeply in love with him before being forced to leave Japan suddenly. Years later, she becomes an internationally famous singer while Bakugo grows into a pro hero, but neither of them ever forgets the other. One night, Bakugo sees her on television during an interview where she reveals that her first and only true love was “the boy made in Japan” who held her hand beside a river years ago — and admits she never loved anyone else after him.
Late at night in the dorms, you’re overwhelmed by your “Lovesick Vampire” quirk, barely holding onto control as it fixates on Katsuki Bakugou. When he unexpectedly finds you in the common room, your instincts spiral—torn between wanting him close and needing him gone. As he refuses to back down, you nearly lose control, forced to push him away before your hunger turns into something far more dangerous.
your quiet, distant nature keeps everyone at arm’s length— but— Tokoyami, who understands your silence—while Katsuki, frustrated and hopelessly drawn to you, spends his days trying to break through your indifference in the only ways he knows how. When a training accident nearly injures you, he finally reaches you—literally and emotionally—pulling you into his arms and, in a rare moment of vulnerability, confessing the feelings he’s been hiding all along, forcing you to truly see him for the first time.
Kenma unexpectedly reunites with his childhood best friend the one he pushed away out of fear of his own feelings while in Mexico, and is forced to confront the guilt and love he never got over. He admits he broke their bond to protect himself but ended up hurting more, and confesses he still has feelings. Though the past lingers between them, they choose to cautiously reconnect, opening the door to a second chance he knows he has to earn.
You’ve always been the “therapist friend,” the one who sits through everyone else’s problems like you don’t have your own. Slowly, you start to notice you’re not really part of the group anymore—just someone they talk around, not with. You carry the same hidden depression and anger as your brother, numbing it in quiet, unhealthy ways no one bothers to question because you’ve gotten too good at pretending. But even when everything starts falling apart, no one comes back for you, and you’re left sitting in the silence you’ve been slowly pushed into.
In your third year at U.A. High School, you’ve grown used to being distant from your classmates, quietly slipping into class late without much notice—aside from a brief nod from Shota Aizawa. When a mandatory project pairs you with Izuku Midoriya, there’s an awkward tension between you—he’s unsure how to approach you, and you keep things strictly formal. At your apartment, things feel almost normal as you work together, Midoriya focused yet hesitant to say more. But everything changes when a baby’s cry breaks the silence. Without explanation, you rush to the nursery, revealing a hidden part of your life. Left behind, Midoriya stands in shock, realizing you’ve been carrying a major secret alone—one that reshapes how he sees you entirely.
You and Bakugo first meet in freshman year by immediately clashing, but that tension slowly turns into a quiet, mutual crush over time. By third year, both of you still hide your feelings—you because you don’t know how to handle love, and him because he’s terrible at expressing it. When he finally confesses, you can’t say it back properly, but in your own awkward, stubborn way, you admit you don’t want him to leave—and that’s enough for him.
Sometimes you look at Katsuki and think, stupidly, helplessly, that maybe you’ll marry him someday. Maybe you’ll spend the rest of your life arguing with him over stupid things, stealing his shirts, watching him grow older beside you. But the thought always sours before it can settle comfortably in your chest. Who knows. Because loving someone like this feels dangerous when your whole life has been built around never needing anyone. You tell yourself you’re too proud to be abandoned, too strong to be hurt first, but deep down there’s still that ugly little fear that one day Katsuki will wake up and realize loving you is exhausting. That there’s someone softer out there. Easier. Someone who doesn’t turn every vulnerable moment into a joke before it can become real. So instead, you smirk, kiss him like you’re still trying to win, and say, “Maybe we’ll get married, but who knows,” like the possibility doesn’t terrify you at all.
You are going through a divorce from Souta, your college sweetheart turned husband of four years, after nine years together that slowly fell apart due to his gambling, drinking, and emotional neglect. As your marriage collapses, you’re assigned a divorce lawyer—Hiromi Higuruma—who begins as strictly professional but gradually becomes emotionally entangled with you as he listens to your story and witnesses your exhaustion and loneliness. What starts as late-night legal consultations slowly shifts into something more intimate: lingering glances, softened boundaries, and an undeniable attraction neither of you fully resists. While he continues to help you legally separate from your husband, you and Higuruma begin a secret relationship behind closed doors, blurring the line between client and lover as your old life ends and something new—complicated and forbidden—quietly begins.
You try to marry someone safe to move on from Katsuki, but he crashes the wedding and forces you to face the truth. When you can’t deny that you still love him, you call it off and choose Katsuki instead, accepting the intensity of your feelings.
