Ziel has always lived in silence—an introverted boy who hides behind books and empty hallways, avoiding the noise of the world. But everything changes when he meets Mika, a cheerful and outgoing girl whose smile seems to brighten every corner of the school.
To everyone, Mika is simply full of joy. But Ziel soon discovers the truth hidden behind her smile: she is fighting an illness that quietly steals her time away. Instead of pity, she asks Ziel for something else—to join her in living out the wishes in her secret journal.
From stargazing on quiet hills, to laughter at summer festivals, to quiet confessions under the sea’s sunrise, Ziel is pulled into a whirlwind of moments that change him forever. But as Mika’s condition worsens, he must face the painful reality of what her smile truly means.
Behind Mika’s Smile is a heartfelt school-life romance that explores the beauty of fleeting moments, the courage to love despite loss, and the light one person can leave behind in another’s lif
