Frames of You
Yuri Tanaka never liked being in the spotlight. A shy and distant photography student, he prefers to stay behind the camera—where everything feels quiet, focused, and safe.
His world is built from still frames and fleeting moments… untouched by the chaos of feelings he doesn’t quite know how to express.
That changes when he meets Ren Sakamoto, a film major with a smile too bright for the lens.
Ren is everything Yuri isn’t—outgoing, curious, and endlessly fascinated by people, especially the quiet boy always taking pictures from the corner of the room.
When Ren volunteers to be Yuri’s subject for a semester-long project, their worlds begin to overlap—one frame at a time.
Through the camera’s viewfinder, Yuri starts to notice more than he intends to: the warmth in Ren’s laughter, the softness in his gaze, and how every photo feels a little more like home.
But love, like light, is fragile. And when emotions blur the line between friendship and something deeper, Yuri must decide—will he keep hiding behind the lens, or finally step into the frame?
“You said you capture beautiful things,” Ren whispered. “So why do you keep looking at me?”
