Mathu_19
Mathuri has always believed in perfection. Every exam, every goal, every moment of her life has been meticulously planned. Now at Oxford University, studying medicine as a foreign student, she faces a world that moves faster, laughs louder, and challenges harder than anything she has ever known. The pressure isn't just academic, it's the constant whisper in her mind that she must be flawless, visible, extraordinary. And yet, amidst the grand halls and ivy-covered walls, she feels achingly small.
Theo James Hawthorne seems like the opposite of everything Mathuri thinks she should need. Calm, reserved, quietly brilliant, he carries himself with the weight of a past he rarely speaks of. After losing his mother to illness at a young age, Theo devoted himself to medicine, driven by a promise he cannot forget: to save those he can. But grief lingers, guilt whispers, and love feels dangerous. Until Mathuri arrives.
Their first encounters are simple-shared library tables, small acts of kindness, subtle laughter-but each moment unravels the walls around them. From late-night study sessions to accidental dancing in empty corridors, from guitar strings and BTS fangirling to Theo's long-forgotten love of painting returning in the quiet of his room, a connection grows: delicate, slow-burning, and real.
Quiet Things We Never Said is a story of ambition, vulnerability, and love that builds slowly over time. Through Oxford, through hospital corridors, through the triumphs and failures of becoming doctors, Mathuri and Theo navigate friendship, grief, dreams, and desire. They learn that some of the most meaningful things in life are whispered in silence, felt in small gestures, and shared between two hearts willing to understand one another.
Will they find the courage to say the things they've kept inside? Or will life's demands silence them forever?
