About the story: This is a tale of two individuals brought together by an unforeseen twist of fate-one that challenges their patience, reshapes their beliefs, and forces them to confront their deepest convictions. Every choice they make-whether guided by reason or emotion-draws them further into a web of destiny, where acceptance and resistance collide, and love teeters on the edge of hatred. This is not a fairy tale. It is a journey woven into the fabric of modern society, unfolding through a cycle of privilege lost and fortunes reclaimed. From wealth to struggle and back again, the story reveals the stark realities of ambition, sacrifice, and redemption. As their paths intertwine, they must decide: Will they choose love despite the suffering it brings, or will they trade passion for the serenity of a life untouched by chaos? The answer lies within the chapters ahead. Author's Note: Hello! I'm Ms. Joe! This is my first Alternate Universe (AU) fanfiction, drawn from a collection of prompts I created some time ago.

I've been in love with Hannie for as long as I can remember. He's been a constant presence in my life, even if only from a distance. We were childhood schoolmates, sharing the same classrooms, the same hallways, and the same fleeting moments that felt like an eternity to me. Yet, despite all these years, it's as if I'm invisible to him. He doesn't even know I exist-or at least, he's never shown any sign of it. Over time, the weight of this unspoken love has only grown heavier. It's a quiet ache, a longing that lingers in the corners of my heart, refusing to fade. I find myself wondering: How long can I keep loving someone who doesn't see me? I'm torn between two paths-speaking my truth, laying bare the feelings I've carried for so long, or walking away, freeing myself from this endless cycle of hope and disappointment. For now, I'm stuck in limbo, caught between the logic of my mind and the stubborn hope of my heart. Every day feels like a battle between holding on and letting go. And yet, a part of me clings to the possibility, no matter how faint, that one day he might see me-really see me-the way I've always seen him. ⇻ DISCLAIMER ⇺ This story is fictional and does not reflect real events, people, or relationships.
