Summary
Ayaka Okamachi, who can’t help but force a smile. Whether it’s when she’s happy, sad, or going through something tough, she always ends up smiling reflexively, and she hates it. Despite her inner feelings, her constant smile brings joy to everyone around her.
One day, Ayaka is confessed to by a senior, Kyoya Ikeda, who is a year older than her. Kyoya, like Ayaka, always wears a smile. With his soft, gentle grin, he was popular with everyone, regardless of age.
Surprised by the sudden confession, Ayaka asks why he wants to be with her, and he replies, “Because you’re always smiling.”
From that moment, Ayaka and Kyoya start a trial period together.
Kyoya is kind. He makes it so that Ayaka doesn’t have to force a smile to be happy. Little by little, she begins to be drawn to his kindness, and as the trial period nears its end, she plans to tell him how she really feels.
However, just three days before the trial period ends, Ayaka is called out by some girls from Kyoya’s grade. They tell her that Kyoya didn’t like her because of who she is, but because she was always smiling and never crying.
This is the story of two people, who can’t stop smiling, caught in a painful and heartbreaking love. The reason he can’t cry, and the reason she can’t—will unfold.
