They met as kids - a new girl in homeroom, a boy who couldn't stop staring, and a friendship that slowly, quietly became something more. What followed were years of ordinary moments turning into everything: convenience store snacks, arcade rematches, a bench by a broken fountain that meant more than it should have.
But growing up doesn't wait for anyone to catch up to it. Paths pulled apart before they were ready, and the two of them learned the hard way that love isn't enough on its own - it has to be chosen, again and again, even when it's hard.
Years later, life brings them back into the same orbit, older and changed, carrying the weight of everything left unsaid. Some things fade with time. Others just wait quietly in the dark, for the right moment to be found again.
A story about first love, growing apart, and what it takes to find your way back to someone through the dark.
