Matsuri has always been a private person, very awkward and shy. She was never very good at making friends. But when she was around him she felt comfortable. She wasn't afraid to be herself. She wasn't afraid of rejection or self-judgement. They were the missing pieces to the unfinished puzzle.

They were meant for each other as cheesy as that sounds. This was because they both shared one big thing in common.

They were both broken.

His family ripped apart by death and hatred.

Her family ripped apart by lies and broken promises.

They were both damaged, physically and mentally.

He was brought up to believe that he was a monster. The reason, his mother tragically passed away while given birth to him. His father and siblings hating him for this and were constantly reminding him of his mothers death.

She was brought up to believe that all men were the same. They messed with women's hearts, leading them to believe that they would be loved and cared for. Once they have their fun they leave for someone "better". Her father and her past boyfriends were examples.

They were both brought up in an environment were the word "love" was considered a random definition in the dictionary.

Only their close friends know about their past. Only their close friends know about their insequreties. Only their close friends know about their fears.

It took a awhile before they even considered to fully trust each other. It took awhile before they realized their undeniable feelings for one another. It took a while before their friendship turned into something more.

Their story is quite interesting starting with a trip to New York, a job she never wanted and an order of black coffee.
