Dream

Petals in the Frost

In the rigid halls of Kyoto High, Haruna rules her classmates with fear and manipulation — until the arrival of Jin, a mysterious transfer student from Tokyo with a reputation for violence and a chilling, unreadable aura. Unlike the others, Jin refuses to acknowledge Haruna’s dominance, treating her power games as if they don’t exist. This quiet defiance sparks a dangerous rivalry between them, one that pulls the entire class into its gravity. But beneath Jin’s cold, emotionless exterior lies a hidden capacity for compassion, revealed only in fleeting moments — like when he protects the weak or saves a young girl who reminds him of the innocence he thought he lost. As Haruna and others begin to peel back the layers of his guarded soul, they uncover a boy shaped by shadows, yet capable of becoming someone profoundly different. This is a story of power, defiance, and unexpected tenderness — of how even the coldest heart can thaw when touched by connection, courage, and love.
