Lena Schuett has spent years collecting scars from dark, painful relationships. All she wants now is simple, honest care and affection, but her past experiences have left her constantly guarded, fearing that any comfort offered will soon be snatched away. She yearns for a safe place to land. ​By her side is Miu Natsha, a constant presence and the one person who truly knows the depth of Lena's pain. Miu has been secretly in love with Lena for years. She believes Lena deserves a world free of heartbreak, and she dedicates herself to offering warmth, comfort, and unwavering support in every quiet moment. ​A Woman Who Yearns is a gentle, moving story about two hearts navigating the space between friendship and deep devotion. It's about the slow, hopeful realization that the safe harbor Lena longs for might have been sitting right beside her all along.

sunlightwrites | 2025 ​For freshman Miu Natsha, life at university was supposed to be about quiet philosophy books and blending into the background. That plan utterly failed the day she tripped and spilled cocoa, landing her directly in the path of Lena Schuett. ​Lena is everything Miu is not: a brilliant, focused senior with an easy smile and eyes the color of melted caramel. For Miu, the crush is instant, intense, and deeply inconvenient. ​This isn't a dramatic love story-it's a series of heart-stopping near-misses, awkward interactions, and silent staring across the library. From a life-saving black pen to a high-stakes printer emergency, Miu finds herself accidentally inching closer to the coolest girl on campus. ​Miu is terrified she's just an embarrassing distraction, but the way Lena remembers her name and smiles makes her wonder: maybe the distance between a nervous freshman and an unattainable senior isn't as vast as it seems.

There are people who enter your life quietly. And there are people who walk in like a storm, leaving nothing untouched. Lena stopped believing in sincerity a long time ago. Miu never let the world steal her kindness. It's somewhere between... an icy pride and a stubborn honesty.

You can't trick someone into falling in love without falling in yourself-especially when you were already halfway there before the timer even started. [This au will be a full English au, considering not all readers understand tagalog🙌🏻 there might be tagalog words but that will be translated]
