REWIND: DON'T SAVE ME

Ren Aoki died on his 18th birthday.
Hit and run. No witnesses. No goodbye.

Then he woke up.
Two years earlier. First day of senior year.
Same school. Same people. Same nightmare.

The reason he died was Kaito Mori.
Captain of the track team. School golden boy.
And Ren’s bully for three years.

Now Ren has two years to change the future.
*Rule #1:* Avoid Kaito.
*Rule #2:* Make new friends.
*Rule #3:* DO NOT fall for the boy who killed you.

He breaks rule #3 in month two.

This isn’t a story about fixing the world.
It’s about fixing people.
About second chances that hurt.
About loving someone even when your trauma says to run.
About asking: Can you save someone who hurt you?
And: Can they save you back?
*Tags:* boy×boy, time travel, school life, bully x victim → lovers, hurt/comfort, second chance, tragedy, flirty, regret, hope, love, angst
