Hermione Looks Different

Shu Yao has always loved Bai Qi. Silently. Secretly. With the kind of devotion that doesn’t ask to be returned. But Bai Qi has never looked his way—not like that. His eyes have always been on Shu Yao’s younger sister, Qing Yue. Bright, soft-spoken, radiant in the ways Shu Yao was told boys should never be. So Shu Yao stays quiet. He smiles when he must. He bleeds where no one can see. When a high fever forces him to break his routine and drop his mask, everything begins to shift. Bai Qi offers help—clumsy, well-meaning, but blind to the damage it causes. Shu Yao, too used to locking his doors and swallowing his ache, can’t bring himself to let it in. Not when every kindness feels like pity. Not when his dreams are haunted by things he can’t say aloud.

Five ex-cons, one rundown food van, and a dream to go legit. Alright, alright. Gather 'round. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, young and old. Here’s the gist: What does a former soldier, a runaway noble princess, a delinquent highschool student, a recently released prisoner and a former villager all have in common? They all need to eat and money to stay alive, whether directly or indirectly. However, the five of them as you can see have no skills of the culinary arts. So with their rents, jobs, families or whole livelihood on the line to keep their simple shop going, do you think they would handle this like normal lived individuals? Nope. They've already survived a Civil War, so whats a simple shop going to do them? However, just like their shadows, their pasts all haunt and follow them. Will their past traumas? Relationships? Friends? Enemies? Family? Or society decide their course of action? One solved murder doesn’t stop all crime.  One war doesn’t disappear into thin air.  One breakup doesn't mean to remain single. One smile doesn’t mean that all is fine. These five have a job to do. One job. Get the shop running again. Even if it means pretending to be nobility or dancing with nothing but body paint with native tribes. They have a mission to complete. Five pairs of Eyes to see this mission through. Five secrets to be revealed. Which eyes will you follow?

Japan, 2024. Ren Takamura has always been an easy target—small, weak, and used to being pushed around.

But as their interactions grow, Ren starts to question everything—Kenta’s intentions, his own limits, and whether he’s truly powerless. Is this just another case of bullying, or is there something deeper beneath the surface? Will Ren break free, or will this unexpected bond change him forever?

“Everything. Every mistake, every lie, everyone’s pain, and everyone’s dreams, where are caused by one person.”

In a city where time never sleeps and memories rot beneath neon lights, Kai lives like a ghost, half-alive, half-forgotten. His apartment is a mausoleum of memories: peeling walls, cheap whiskey, and a chipped teacup that mirrors the fracture lines running through his soul. He’s not searching for salvation. He’s just trying to make it through the silence. Years ago, on a rain-slicked street stained with blood, Kai’s childhood ended in a single moment of violence. What followed was a life lived in shadow—foster homes that blurred together, abuse swallowed like bitter pills, and a growing silence he wrapped around himself like armor. But even silence cracks. When his past begins to resurface—through dreams, through encounters, through the scent of rain—Kai is forced to confront the truths he buried under years of numbness. The memory of that night claws at him, vivid and merciless. And as his grip on the present begins to falter, so does the wall he’s built around himself. This is not a story of hope. Not yet. This is a story of survival. Of memory. Of a man staring into the void of everything he’s lost—and wondering if it’s too late to crawl back into the light.
