Totally not in the process of writing a(n) sort of Stardew but not really au where Actor! Hokuto is burnt out after the death of his grandfather. He decides to go on hiatus and back to his hometown. (Nicknamed MilkToast bc of the WIP title)
He finds his grandparents have been running a homemade candy/sweets shop from their house and decides to try and pick it up but kind of is failing miserably.
He calls his grandmother (who is on one of those cruises to get out of the house so she doesn't get too depressed over her husband) and asks for help but he still doesn't get it so she tells him to go seek out her tea friend who she's taught a lot of her skills.
He seeks out this friend and this friend recognizes him as he was around when Hokuto stayed with his grandparents
The friend introduces himself as Hajime and says he'll help but he has to finish his chores first. Hokuto helps out and yeah.
I am still planning things out but he WILL meet Tomoya and WILL fall in love. Trust.
I know i want Tomoya as a farmhand of some kind? I was thinking that maybe Nazuna runs the farm while Tomoya just works there + stays there after moving out. Hajime maybe takes a penny role in the town? Mitsuru works in one of the local stores?
I'll figure it out.
