    I recently stumbled upon a super heartwarming coming-of-age and redemption novel! The male lead appears arrogant and tough on the surface, but he's actually soft-hearted and lacks compassion, showering all his tenderness on a girl he picked up who's two years younger than him. His mix of insecurity and doting affection is so sweet and adorable—it's heart-melting! And he practically raised her from childhood! The premise is a 17-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl.
