She loved him loudly. He loved her quietly-only when it was convenient. Leah believed two years of love meant security, a future, a place she could finally call hers. Yet, every time it mattered, he chose someone else. A best friend. A familiar comfort. A silence that hurts more than betrayal. This is a story about emotional neglect, unspoken loyalties, and the slow realization that love without priority is a form of loss. It asks a difficult question: How long can you stay where you are never fully chosen?

Set in the late 1990s, this is a story about friendship, growing up, and the quiet moments that stay with you long after they've passed. When Misaki arrives late on the first day of school, she doesn't expect much from the year ahead. until she's seated next to Kai, a quiet, distant boy who keeps to himself. Alongside her best friend Lina and Kai's childhood friend Haru, the four of them slowly form an unlikely bond that turns ordinary days into something unforgettable. From after-school snack runs and late-night study sessions to summer beach trips and festivals under the fireworks, their world becomes filled with laughter, chaos, and moments that feel like they'll last forever. But as time moves forward and their final year approaches, feelings that were never meant to be complicated begin to surface. Between unspoken words, fleeting glances, and memories captured in silence, Misaki and Kai are forced to confront what they mean to each other-before the moments they share become nothing more than memories. A slow-burn story about the people who change us, the time we can't hold onto, and the quiet kind of love that's felt in everything left unsaid.

⊱ ━━━━.⋅ εïз ⋅.━━━━ ⊰ "What's that?" she reached up for him, his face in her palm as she examined whatever was there. She pressed on it, and it kind of stung. "Did that hurt?" "Not really," he muttered. "Are you sure?" and he nodded. "It looks a bit swollen. It might've come from when you hit the ground or, something... I don't even know. It's just a small bruise, though, so I guess it's okay?" "Thanks, Doctor," he teased, and she pouted, the warmth of her skin leaving as she settled back into her seat. "How is it my fault you like to fight?" She crossed her arms in front of her chest, and he fully leaned in. His hand was no longer on the edge of the back cushions; rather, it had moved to her thigh. "How is it my fault you look good tonight?" he whispered in her ear. "Girls like you make me love to fight." ⋆𐙚₊˚⊹♡ After leaving his short-term relationship with his next-door neighbour, Grey scrambles to find the remaining pieces of the largest puzzle that he was born into: his life- only to trample over a tiny, tiny thing.

*She asked for freedom and learned what it cost.* ________________________________________ This is a story about three people bound by the same love - and separated by the moment they were ready to choose it. Lisa loved Jennie deeply, but mistook freedom for distance and reassurance for presence. When she asked for space, she didn't realize she was letting go of the one person who had been staying all along. Jennie learned what it meant to stop asking, to stop waiting, and to choose herself without bitterness. In the aftermath, she rebuilt her life piece by piece - discovering that love doesn't disappear when it's quiet, and that being seen can feel like coming home. Chaeyoung had loved Jennie patiently since they were teenagers, never demanding space, never forcing timing. She stayed when it hurt, waited without disappearing, and arrived not as a replacement - but as someone who was finally met. Told through parallel points of view, this is a story about presence, regret, healing, and the devastating truth that sometimes the greatest love of your life doesn't leave you - you leave it. And sometimes, someone else stays. _______________ As of 6 April 2026: #1 CHAENNIE #1 THEONETHATGOTAWAY #1 MISSEDTIMING #2 SOFTANGST #4 CHARACTERDRIVEN #5 BITTERSWEET #8 PARKCHAEYOUNG

Eight years ago, Liam Alcaraz walked out of Mia Villaruiz's life without a backward glance, leaving her with nothing but a shattered heart, unanswered questions, and the memory of the boy who once made her believe in forever. Now, Liam is one of the youngest, most powerful, and most desired CEOs in the country. And Mia? She is no longer the quiet, outcast girl he once dismissed. She is the number one passer of the bar exam, a corporate lawyer whose name alone makes seasoned executives sweat. Fearless, sharp, and impossible to intimidate. When fate brings her into Liam's boardroom, his billion-dollar empire becomes the biggest case of her career and her toughest challenge. Vale, the firm's respected senior partner, makes it clear that if Mia can take on Liam Alcaraz and win, securing him as their new big client, she will earn her place as the youngest partner in the firm. But boardroom battles are not the only thing waiting for them. Because every heated exchange is laced with tension that makes breathing difficult. Every glance lingers too long. Every accidental touch threatens to awaken something they both tried to bury. Liam is determined to prove he is no longer the boy who broke her. Mia is determined to show him she is no longer the girl he left behind. But in a world where pride is power and desire is dangerous, old wounds reopen, truths begin to surface, and the line between love and hate slowly disappears. Because some temptations are impossible to resist. And some hearts never truly let go.

This isn't just a story. It's a truth many live through, but rarely speak about. Eylul thought her biggest problem was her family - the constant fights, the pressure, the feeling of never being enough. Except for Ela - the only one who noticed, the only one who stayed. Then she met him. He was someone who listened, someone who stayed, and someone who understood her without asking. And suddenly, everything felt easier. Until she realized - he knew things he shouldn't. Not guesses. Not coincidences. Things she never told him. And the more she noticed, the more he disappeared. Now she's left wondering - is he hiding the truth... or protecting her from it?

"The Way You Are was born from the quiet tension between what we show and what we truly are. It's a story about fragile souls trying to exist in a world that often misunderstands them. Behind the school walls, the novel explores emotional abuse, the weight of expectation, and the silent beauty of resilience. This is not a story of perfect love-it's a reflection of how broken hearts still find ways to shine. I wanted to capture the raw, unfiltered emotion of being human, of loving despite the fear, and of learning that being yourself is the most daring act of all."

She asked him once, "Do you ever feel like you're loving someone from so far away - even when they're standing right in front of you?" He didn't answer. He couldn't. Because the answer was yes.

On the edge of a quiet town, where the road curves and the night settles in, an old man sits on a porch and tells stories. He doesn't tell them to crowds. He doesn't tell them for answers. He tells them to the night-and to anyone who happens to wander by. Each story carries something different: something lost, something carried too long, something mistaken for truth, something that refuses to leave. They are not stories meant to fix you. They are stories that sit beside you... until you're ready to hear them. Welcome to the porch. The night is already listening.

Vince Calloway doesn't remember Rainer's Glen. He knows the facts. He stayed there twice before. He knows his aunt's name, the color of her house, the way the cold works its way in by degrees. He knows there's a boy named Sammy who picks him up from the airport like no time has passed at all. What he doesn't know is why everyone in this town looks at him like they're waiting for something. There's a rec center that's been closed for five years. A fourth kid in a photograph he can't place. A blank at the end of a sentence he can't finish, where a whole summer used to be. Rainer's Glen remembers him better than he remembers it. SOMETIMES AFTER is a YA contemporary novel about the things we carry without knowing, the people who hold our history when we can't, and the quiet truth that the better things in life don't always arrive on time. They come sometimes after.
