Summary
Sakura Haruno has spent three years making herself useful. When her first real summer break finally arrives, she plans to fill it with research, responsible choices, and absolutely no existential crisis about having nowhere she needs to be.
Then she asks Sasuke Uchiha to dance.
Sasuke is about to begin law school, comes from one of Konoha’s most visible families, and communicates like every extra word costs him money. He is also attentive, infuriating, and far too easy to want. What starts with a kiss becomes dates, daily word-game scores, nights at his apartment, and a relationship that behaves like something serious long before either of them agrees what it is.
Sasuke knows he wants Sakura. Sakura knows wanting her is not the same as choosing her. Sooner or later, they will have to decide whether what exists between them can survive being named.
