Yang Jungwon has everything a young man could want, prestige, a brilliant academic future, and a family who never accepts less than perfect. Han Sowon has almost nothing. Battling a chronic illness that sets her apart from everyone else, she moves through life quietly, surviving more than living. They were never meant to fall in love. But in the stillness of study halls, between glances in the classroom, and in the brief moments no one else noticed, they did. It was soft. Gentle. Real. Yet the world around them didn't agree, pressuring them apart, labeling their love as dangerous, foolish, impossible. As Jungwon's life is shaped for him, a marriage, a future, a success story, Sowon disappears like a shadow, leaving only silence where love once lived. Torn between duty and heart, expectation and truth, Jungwon is forced to choose, follow the path built for him, or risk everything for the one person the world told him not to love. They Said We Shouldn't is a story about the love that comes quietly, fights silently, and lingers long after the last kiss. A love that was never allowed to bloom, yet bloomed anyway.

"I wanted to see you." "Because my world hasn't been quiet since you." ~Bae Yu-mi survives by feeling everything and refusing to let it break her. She's soft in ways she doesn't know how to hide, strong in the ways that matters and constantly pretending she is less affected than she is. Jungwon is everything she is not - quiet, controlled, untouched by need. He has everything she lacks, and nothing in his world prepares him for her. They were never meant to meet. But fate bends the rules and it is never gentle about it. This is a love that does not ask for permission - it chooses, it settles, and it does not let go. This is a work of fiction and only for entertainment purposes!

"say something....or am i the only one going insane here?" There were always two names at the top of the class. Hizuki Ito. Yang Jungwon. Everyone knew them - the smart ones, the quiet one and the unbothered one, the ones who always seemed to be one step ahead of everyone else. Sometimes Hizuki was first, sometimes Jungwon was. But it was always one of them. Hizuki had moved from Japan when she was ten. Even then, people noticed how focused she was. She didn't talk much, but she listened. She studied harder than anyone. She was calm, but crazy around her friends, sharp, and always ready with the right answer. Jungwon had grown up here. He didn't try to stand out - but he always did. He was the kind of person who got perfect grades without looking stressed. People thought he didn't care, but the truth was: he cared a lot. He just didn't show it. Their rivalry didn't start with a fight. It started with numbers. Test scores. Rankings. Who raised their hand first in class. Who teachers praised more. Who finished the assignment better. They never talked about it-they didnt dare, but they both knew - they were in a silent competition. They weren't friends. They were enemies. A quiet tension. A feeling that neither of them could ignore for long. It wasn't love. Not yet. But it was the beginning of something they didn't understand - not yet, anyway.

Strawberry vs. chocolate. Notes vs. test scores. Wit vs. pure pettiness. Jungwon and Jiwon have been at war for as long as anyone can remember-competing, clashing, and arguing with each other like it's a full-time job. They don't get along. They never have. And yet... After being in the same group for the school festival, things starts to change. When the insults slow and the silence lingers, something starts to shift. It's not a love story. (or is it?) It's a long-standing rivalry with a dangerously soft centre. Enemies? Maybe. Soulmates? Ugh, don't be ridiculous. ...Right? ~ ℙ𝔼ℕ𝔾
