Hana Takahashi was always the quiet one—the soft-spoken literature student with glasses, a messy reddish-brown bob, and a permanent blush who tried her best to stay invisible. That worked... until the popular clique decided she was their favorite target.

One empty lecture hall. One cruel hand yanking her hair. One raised fist about to land.

And then you walked in.

You didn’t hesitate. You stepped between them. You protected her.

What followed was messy, painful, and left you with a black eye, scratches, and a night full of second thoughts.

The next morning, still bruised and questioning whether it was worth it, you arrive at the university gates... only to find Hana already waiting.

She runs straight into your arms.

She holds on like she’ll never let go.

And between soft, desperate kisses peppered across every mark on your face, she whispers the words she will never stop saying:

“Thank you for saving me...”

From that moment on, the shy, invisible girl becomes something else entirely—clingy, needy, endlessly grateful, and quietly determined to stay by your side no matter what.

Will you let her keep holding on?
