However, Mio’s reaction towards Shun reaching out to him reminds him of the estrangement from his parents after they discovered his sexual orientation. As Shun and Mio grow closer, Mio confesses that he is moving to the city, but promises to keep in contact once there.Three years later, Mio suddenly moves back and confesses he is in love with Shun, but Shun is overcome with guilt from depriving him of a “normal” life. Meanwhile, Shun’s childhood friend and ex-fianc\u00e9e, Sakurako, arrives at the island to persuade him to return to Hokkaido due to his father’s poor health. Shun is adamant on staying with Mio, but Mio urges him to return to reconcile with his family. Realizing Mio is genuinely in love with him and sensing the truth in his words, Shun decides to return to Hokkaido and asks Mio to accompany him.L’\u00e9tranger du Z\u00e9phyr[edit]With Mio accompanying him, Shun visits his parents’ house in Hokkaido and discovers Fumi, his younger brother adopted during his absence, and Sakurako had tricked him into reconciling with his father. Shun and Mio move in with the Hashimotos, with Shun’s father and Fumi struggling to fully accept them as a couple.[4] During Parents’ Observation Day at Fumi’s school, Shun unexpectedly runs into Wada, his classmate and first, albeit unrequited love.[5] In the spring, Shun publishes his first novel and instantly gains media attention in spite of his anonymity due to being branded as a gay novelist.
