Whispers Beyond The Desk
Takashi Katsuragi is the golden boy of his high school—handsome, brilliant, admired by peers and teachers alike. But behind the perfect mask lies a deep loneliness, a quiet yearning for something real in a world of expectations and superficial praise. That world shifts when Mizuki Ayane, a calm and mysterious university student, steps into his classroom as the new part-time homeroom teacher.
At twenty-two, Mizuki is focused on finishing her degree and staying professional in her role. But Takashi’s quiet intensity, hidden vulnerability, and subtle acts of kindness begin to pierce through her carefully maintained boundaries. As stolen glances turn into late-night conversations and emotional walls begin to crumble, the two find themselves caught in a bond they were never supposed to share.
Whispers Beyond the Desk is a slow-burning, emotionally resonant romance that explores the blurred lines between admiration and affection, duty and desire. Over twelve volumes and fifty chapters, Takashi and Mizuki navigate the risks of their forbidden connection, the toll of social expectations, and the painful distance between wanting and waiting.
As seasons change and years pass, their feelings never fade—only deepen in silence. But can love survive in the shadows, or must it wait for the light?
This is a story of two hearts, one classroom, and the quiet moments that echo the loudest.
