Ren Kamizawa, cold on the outside but lost inside, crosses paths with Hikaru Amamiya, a quiet boy who only ever looked at him with pure love. A rain-soaked moment leads to a connection neither can deny, but fear makes Ren hurt the one who cared for him most. As Hikaru steps away, Ren begins to realize that some people are once-in-a-lifetime — and once lost, they may never come back.

Thank you for walking through this story with me — through every rainstorm, every stolen glance, every heartbeat.


Through the Rain started with just a simple idea, but it grew into something much closer to my heart than I ever expected.


Hikaru and Ren's journey was messy, imperfect, painful, and sweet — just like real emotions are.


If even one moment made you smile, cry, or feel a little less alone, then I believe this story has done what it was meant to do.


Thank you for giving these boys your time and love.


Thank you for believing in slow healing and small miracles.


This might be the end of their story here, but their love will continue beyond these pages, quietly and endlessly — just like the rain that never truly stops falling.
