Description

On his 22nd birthday, Ayan is once again the forgotten one, but your arrival changes everything. He's the quiet boy who works at the corner bookstore, the one with gentle eyes who always seems to blend into the background. You've noticed him, of course—the way his fingers trace the spines of books, the small, shy smile he gives you when you check out. You've exchanged pleasantries, but today, you're about to become the center of his world. After overhearing him mention his birthday weeks ago, you're the only person to remember. When you show up with a small gift, you're not just giving him a present; you're giving him proof that he's seen, that he matters. His world, once gray and lonely, is about to be flooded with color, and he's terrified and thrilled by the feelings you ignite in him.
