Cold Nights Under the Crescent Moon

This is a romance web novel, first and foremost. Meet Mochizuki. A pure Japanese person who hardly has the average background and life story as most of his peers. Hopping from Japan to Egypt and back, his friend groups, along with his life, was destroyed. Now he's stuck on whether to try to build something new, or to accept his loneliness. Then there's Hoshino. Also a pure Japanese person who...has a twist to the way she lives. She keeps that part hidden from anyone...but who's to say that the truth will never be revealed. They both attend Rikai Academy, a high school that is built upon the belief of giving students a wider and more accurate perspective of the world and to be knowledgeable on that matter, and is also on the higher end of prestige. Their most popular event is the second semester international study, where students vote to spend the third semester of their year in another country. They'll be going to countries you didn't quite expect... How long will it take for Mochizuki and Hoshino to realize they are the same in more ways than they are different? And when will they realize they are the only two rocks in the desert. Or rather...The only two stars in the sky. A lot of romance seems to be heading towards the lustful and vulgar direction these days, so my goal is for this to be the opposite of that. I've always perceived love as being cold and lust as being something hot that blurs one's senses, so if there is one thing I want readers to feel with this book, it is to feel chills akin to the cold water of a spring and wash over you. I want to awaken not your desire for something immediate and temporarily fulfilling, but I want to awaken your strength and patience for the desire of something true, pure, and long-lasting. More than that, I want this story to be as unique as possible. The characters will be very different than most protagonists, but in a very basic way. However, I hope that alteration will be able to bring new tropes and make this story something you never expected.This is your one stop shop for fluff and a nice calm story.
