On his 21st birthday, King Pond of Lupheria is expected to sense his fated mate. But no one expected it to be a 5-year-old omega-Phuwin-brought to the palace by a greedy adoptive family. One breath of his scent, and Pond knows the truth: this pup is his mate. Now, the young king must protect, raise, and one day love the boy destiny gave him.

"You left. But my heart stayed." When rising actor Pond chooses his career over the love he's too afraid to lose himself in, he leaves behind more than just a relationship - he leaves behind Phuwin, the only person who ever truly saw him. Months later, a sudden work transfer pulls Pond back to the city he ran from... and into the same coffee shop where Phuwin still goes every morning. Phuwin never left. Not the city. Not the pain. What follows is a slow, aching reunion: sharp words, silent nights, doors closed and opened again. One is guarded, the other filled with regret. But both are still tethered - by memory, by longing, and by a love they never quite stopped carrying. When you Stayed is a soft yet emotionally charged BL story about distance, vulnerability, and what happens when the one you left behind is still the one you can't forget.
