Paper Cranes | Maeda Riku

"For you
I fold a thousand cranes
Put them in a glass jar
Shyly hand them to you"

He'd literally crashed into her that day─ running late and nearly tripping over his own feet. But somehow, he was secretly grateful. From that moment on, his feelings grew─ always scanning the crowd for a glimpse of her, heart racing wildly whenever she was near, falling a little deeper every time her laughter reached his ears. He was smitten, hopelessly so, and he didn't know how to find the words to tell her.

Riku was a guy who seemed to have it all figured out: smart, talented, confident, able to handle almost anything life threw his way. But he never expected that something as simple as writing notes and folding delicate paper cranes could unravel that perfect image─ and with it, his carefully guarded heart.

"I used to hide, afraid to show what I really felt."

"You don't have to hide anymore. I see you now."
