Aiko Mizuhara is a sixteen-year-old high school girl living in the city who has grown distant from the world after her parents' divorce. She tries to hide her loneliness and anxiety behind good grades, a clean home, and the image of a perfect daughter, but inside, she is slowly falling apart. As Aiko and Ren begin crossing paths at school and in everyday life, Ren's warmth slowly reaches the parts of Aiko that she has kept hidden for years. Through friendship, trust, and eventually love, Aiko begins learning that she doesn't have to carry her pain alone. But healing is not simple. Both of them must confront the memories, fears, and losses that continue to shape their lives-and discover whether two broken hearts can help each other find their way back to happiness.

[COMPLETE!] A mostly-cozy friends-to-lovers BL about healing, high school, and second chances. Two years ago, Jace Walker had it all - popularity, talent, and the kind of ego only an American teenage soccer star could have. Then he was kidnapped. Gone for two years. Experimented on. Forgotten by everyone but the nightmares. Now he's back. Back at school. Back to pretending he's fine. But Marcus, the school's new golden boy, sees right through him - and Jace can't decide if he hates him for it... or needs him. As Jace struggles to rediscover who he is, he finds something unexpected: friendship, love, and maybe even himself again. Will he ever stop being the boy who disappeared? Or is he becoming someone new entirely?

He wasn't supposed to matter. He wasn't supposed to stay. But he did. This isn't a story of perfect beginnings. It's one of slow healing, unexpected love, and the boy who stayed. ~~~~~ Minho was taught to be the perfect son - obedient, devoted, and shaped by his mother's rigid beliefs. Outwardly, he's an extrovert who easily befriends others, but this is just a façade hiding his true struggles. Jisung, quiet and reserved in comparison, may stay more in the background, but he is fiercely loyal and loud with his friends, unafraid to be himself. When fate places them in the same orbit, sparks fly - not the good kind, not at first. But beneath the biting words and careful distance, something tender begins to grow. As the seasons shift and their lives entwine, what starts as something uncertain turns into something undeniable. With the quiet strength of a hand held during a storm, and laughter shared over late-night dinners, affection takes root in the most unexpected place. But healing doesn't follow a straight line - and Minho's past still echoes loudly. In a world that didn't make space for boys like him, Jisung becomes the one who stays. The one who waits. The one who shows him what real love can look like. This is a story about falling - into truth, into fear, into love. And about the boy who never let go. A love letter to the one who stayed.
