Till never expected a new life to begin in the quiet café down the road from his apartment.
But when Ivan - warm-voiced, gentle-hearted, impossibly patient Ivan - pushes his way into Till's life with a swollen heart and a smile that feels like sunlight, Till's carefully rebuilt world begins to shift.
What starts as a slow, hesitant friendship blooms into something deeper: late-night conversations, stolen glances, and the steady, healing kind of love Till never believed he deserved. But love isn't simple when your past still leaves shadows. Together, they navigate trust, fear, and the fragile bravery it takes to let someone in.
Surrounded by a chaotic circle of friends - Mizi and Sua, Luka and Hyuna - Till and Ivan stumble through karaoke disasters, unexpected engagements, moving confessions, and the quiet intimacy of ordinary days. Till paints his way back to himself. Ivan learns what it means to love without conditions. And Spark, their not-so-tiny kitten, somehow becomes the emotional support animal of the entire group.
From soft domestic mornings to a heartfelt proposal, from the slow recovery of old wounds to a wedding filled with tears, laughter, and too many flowers, Till and Ivan's story unfolds with gentle humour, deep emotion, and the kind of affection that grows stronger in the small, unspoken moments.
As they build their life together - a honeymoon by the sea, future dreams whispered under warm blankets, and a lingering thought of the family they may one day become - the story never forgets its heart:
This is a tale about healing.
About choosing love even when it feels terrifying.
About finding home not in a place, but in a person.
