aeri series #1 In a quiet corner of the city, tucked between busy streets and the soft hum of everyday life, stands a small café where the scent of espresso mixes with the sweetness of freshly baked pastries. Jiro runs this quiet haven with steady hands and a warm smile, pouring his heart into every cup he serves. One afternoon, Roa steps inside with her best friend. She's understated yet magnetic, the kind of presence that turns the air still and makes Jiro look up from his work. Her simplicity unsettles him, sparking a curiosity he's never felt before. Amid the clatter of cups, low laughter, and the soft music drifting through the café, they begin to form an unexpected connection. In a world that thrives on movement and noise, they discover a quiet corner where friendship, longing, and something unnameable start to blur together.

aeri series #2 Sathaporn is the kind of gay man you'll either admire from afar or be too scared to approach. He's called Maew (cat), not just because it's cute, but because he's practically one. Independent, picky with who he gives his attention to, a little moody when annoyed, but irresistibly charming once you earn his trust. For Maew, romance is not on the priority list, the ocean, and peace of mind are. Until that day. One ordinary afternoon at the beach, while laughing and playing with his equally loud and fabulous gay besties, Maew's attention flies straight toward the girl sitting innocently on the sand. She wasn't part of the game, wasn't part of his world, but suddenly... she is.

aeri series #3 Marzia Romano is on her fifth year in college-not by choice, but because her capstone project flopped last year. Now back in fourth-year IT, she's determined to finish strong... hopefully. Everyone knows Marzia-not for her grades, but for her personality: loud, extroverted, bubbly, a little scatterbrained, but undeniably charming. This year, fate pairs her up with Ye Xian Yizhuo-a quiet, shy gay man who'd rather stay invisible in the corner. She's chaos. He's order. She talks too much. He barely talks at all. But in the mess of deadlines, coding bugs, and friendship, they might just discover that sometimes, the most unexpected people teach you exactly what you need to hear. Because if not you, then who?
