Rouge300
Celine doesn't believe in crushes. Not really.
To her, they're shallow labels people use to mask emotions they don't understand. She prefers logic over longing, control over chaos. For years, she's built emotional armor polished, rational, untouchable.
Or so she thought.
On an otherwise ordinary day, she meets someone who surprises her-a boy who quietly, unexpectedly, shakes the foundation she built to protect herself. Her thoughts scatter. Her heart stumbles. And for the first time, she wonders:
Is this what a crush feels like?
Or is it something far more dangerous?
As old wounds resurface and long-buried truths come to light, Celine is forced to confront not just him, but the version of herself she tried to forget the guilt, the regret, and the kind of love that never comes easy.
She doesn't have the answers.
But maybe, just maybe...
She's about to write her own Crush Theory.
And it won't be anything like she expected.
