SYNOPSIS
When senior university student Hiro Akiyama took a job at his campus library, the last thing he expected to find was love.
When Jesse Cowan – a student of the same university – sat alone in the library, the last thing he expected was to find someone who would remind him what love meant.
Within a few months, the two of them make their way into each others’ hearts. Hiro shows Jesse that he is worthy of love, and Jesse shows Hiro what unconditional love means.
But love is never easy. Sometimes, love finds its one last shelter in the soul of another.
