Softangst Stories

She grew up invisible, her love for fashion dismissed while her siblings were praised. Stories and magic became her escape. She survived. She succeeded. And her own blood killed her for it. Death gives her a second chance- reborn as Petunia Evans, before the bitterness, before the fall. This time, she won't beg for love. She won't make herself smaller. She'll be softer with herself. Sharper with the world. And never invisible again. Just to be clear, I do not support J.K R*wling at all. She could rot in tartarus for all I care. What I do support though is that our king Dobby made the books but that bitch stole them and changed them with her wickedness.

*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 college, 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.

Jimin's life ends the night his father gambles away everything. Millions in debt. And the man who comes to collect it isn't just anyone. He's Jeon Jungkook - the most feared mafia boss in the city. Cold. Untouchable. Dangerous. But Jungkook doesn't want the money. Instead, his dark eyes land on Jimin. "Money can be replaced," he says calmly. "Loyalty can be forced." Then he leans closer. "But a partner... is much more useful." One sentence destroys Jimin's world. "You'll marry me instead." His father agrees. Jimin refuses. But in Jungkook's world... refusal isn't an option. Now trapped in the mansion of the most dangerous man alive, Jimin must survive a marriage built on control, secrets, and obsession. Because the deeper he falls into Jungkook's world... the more he realizes something terrifying. The debt was never the real reason. Jungkook wanted him. And now that he has him... he's never letting him go. None of the Pics I have uploaded are mine. Credits goes to the rightful owners. Thankyou.

If you ask me, personally, what it means to love like a Sangngern, I might find myself fumbling for the right words. I might dress it up in metaphors, try to make it sound profound. But Sara Arisara Sangngern would never hesitate. From the age of three to eighteen, she has lived inside the answer. She learned it from the best example she had left after losing her father - from her uncle, Joss Way-ar Sangngern. She learned that love does not always arrive loudly. Sometimes, it stays. Sometimes, it ties your shoelaces, waits outside your classroom, and argues over how much sugar should go into your milk. She learned that grief can sit at the same table as laughter. That family can be rebuilt. And most of all, she learned what it means when one man looks at another the way her father once looked at her mother in that blurry memory of a 3 year old- quietly, stubbornly, as if the world could end and it still wouldn't matter. That is what it means to love like a Sangngern.

Behind the camera, Latte is drowning. Cold and stiff on screen, he knows that the series LUAT is his last chance before his acting dreams crumble under his family's expectations. Then there's Kim, his older on-screen partner, beautiful and mysteriously gentle. A graduate of a renowned pastry school who prefers to speak through his homemade desserts rather than sweet words. What Latte doesn't know: every snack Kim makes for him, every small smile behind the scenes, every warm moment in the kitchen isn't just fan service. This is the most difficult recipe for love: slow burn, with a touch of angst, and plenty of sugar. (This story is inspired by LatteKim's wholesome chemistry in real life, wrapped in romantic imagination. It's a loving speculation about how love can grow in the most unexpected places from the amidst industry pressure, in a warm kitchen, and behind rarely seen smiles.)

You and Heeseung were once inseparable-matching scars, matching secrets, matching childhood promises that felt too big for your tiny hands. Then one day, he vanished. No explanation. No goodbye. Just a message that hurt more than silence. Years later, he returns. But the boy you knew? The one who held your hand when you cried and swore he'd never leave? Yeah... he's gone. In his place stands a quieter, colder, unreadable version of him-an other Heeseung. A Heeseung who looks at you like he remembers everything... and nothing. A Heeseung who keeps pretending he's fine while his eyes give him away every time. You try to act normal. He keeps slipping back into the old him-protective, gentle, yours-before shutting it down again. As past and present collide, you're forced to face a truth you've avoided for years: Maybe he didn't just leave something behind. Maybe he left someone behind. And maybe that someone... was you. But the real question is- which version of him is standing in front of you now? And which version of you will he choose to come back to?

[FORBIDDEN TEEN ROMANCE] Krishna Vamsi and Radha Verma were never meant to be anything more than friends. Not in a world divided by caste, money, and expectations. Krishna comes from a small home and a smaller freedom-loved by his parents, yet suffocated by discipline, responsibility, and unspoken pressure. Radha, raised in a well-off but controlling household, learns early that affection is conditional and silence is survival. Seven years of friendship. One college that keeps them on different floors. Two families that would never understand. They tease each other, call each other dummy and idiot, share late-night Instagram chats, and steal glances they pretend mean nothing. But beneath the laughter lies a bond that's growing too deep to stay harmless. This is not a love story filled with confessions and promises. It's a slow-burn story about emotional neglect, forbidden closeness, financial gaps, caste boundaries, and the quiet pain of growing up. Because sometimes, the hardest love to carry is the one you're never allowed to name.

When Andie was twelve years old, she moved to Hawkins, Indiana, because her stepdad got a new job-just another quiet town in the middle of nowhere. At least, that's what it was supposed to be. She didn't expect to find a group of boys who would become her whole world. Mike, Lucas, Will, and Dustin were there before everything changed-before the lights flickered, before the secrets, before growing up got complicated. Back then, it was just bikes, late nights, and the kind of friendship that felt like it would last forever. Andie fit in faster than she ever thought she would, like she had always been meant to find them. Especially Dustin, who was there from the start-laughing too loud, talking too much, and somehow always right beside her. It was easy. It was simple. It was the way things used to be. But Hawkins isn't the kind of place that lets things stay the same. As strange things begin to happen and the line between childhood and something darker starts to blur, Andie realizes that not everything she left behind in Norway stayed there-and not everything in Hawkins is what it seems. Friendships shift, feelings change, and the past has a way of catching up, no matter how far you run. Because growing up means losing pieces of what once felt unbreakable. And maybe, just maybe... some things were never as simple as they seemed.

Minoru is quiet. Guarded. Always a little alone. Chiyo is softness wrapped in sunlight. Sleepy smiles, warm tea, and a secret he never meant to share. They meet by accident. Stay by choice. And somewhere between quiet afternoons, unsaid things, and moments that stretch too long, something begins to bloom. But Chiyo's time is limited. Diagnosed with an incurable illness years ago, he lives slowly now. Deliberately, like every hour is borrowed. Minoru knows now. He doesn't care. These are their days. Their moments. Some tender. Some messy. Some unbearably quiet. This is what love looks like when you don't have forever, only now.

Some things don't end with a goodbye. Some things just... stop. Like the way streetlights flicker at midnight. Like the way old receipts fade in your pocket. Like the way you tell yourself I'll remember this forever-but then one day, you don't. Soren was like autumn. Always carrying the last warmth of something fleeting. Always moving, always laughing, always pretending like nothing mattered. He had red-tipped ears from the cold, brown everywhere-his hair, his jacket, his shoes-but his eyes were green. Really green. The kind you don't forget, even when everything else blurs. We never had a plan. Not for the summer. Not for after. Not for anything, really. We just walked through empty streets, stole dumb things no one would miss, sat in places we weren't supposed to be, and pretended we had all the time in the world. And maybe we did. Until we didn't.
