Tendermoments Stories

Two strangers. One mysterious envelope. A fleeting encounter that changes everything. In Bangkok, fate has been waiting to bring William and Est together...

SHORT STORY "Some faces you forget in a blink. And some... you carry forever." Karan never believed in fate-until the day he saw her. A girl with poetry in her hands and silence in her eyes. From crowded streets to quiet bookstores, from chai stalls to painted skies, destiny keeps placing Kashish in his path. Each meeting feels accidental, yet inevitable. Each conversation, each smile, each silence pulls them closer, until even the smallest moments-sharing a samosa, walking home under flickering streetlights-feel like entire stories of their own. But love doesn't arrive with fireworks. It arrives in whispers, in glances, in unspoken words that linger. And when the festival lights finally reflect on the lake, Karan and Kashish must decide if serendipity is enough-or if it's time to name what's been growing quietly between them all along. A tender, heartwarming story of love found not in the grand gestures, but in the little things. Excerpt: Karan Malhotra: "Every path kept bringing me back to her, as if love had already been chosen for me." Kashish Mehra: "And in those quiet returns, I realized love was never loud- it lived in the little things."

And he smiled, "take my hand, we'll dance through the sky and paint it gold."

Tadano Hitohito has never been the type to stand out. He's quiet, observant, and perfectly fine, fading into the background of his new high school. But everything changes the moment he meets Shouko Komi - the girl everyone adores but no one truly knows. To everyone else, Komi is flawless - elegant, untouchable, and impossibly perfect. To Tadano, she's something else entirely: a girl trapped behind her own silence. Beneath the calm surface, he sees the trembling hands, the stolen glances, and the quiet ache of someone desperate to reach out but unable to speak. When Tadano accidentally discovers her secret - that words don't come easily to her - he makes her a promise: he'll listen to every silence, every hesitation, every unspoken feeling, and help her get to her goal of 100 friends. Together, they begin to build something fragile and real - a friendship that slowly blurs into something more. In the soft spaces between notes passed under desks, quiet lunches, and shared walks home, Tadano starts to realize that love doesn't always need words. Sometimes, it only needs someone willing to understand the signals no one else can see. Silent Signals is a slow-burn high school romance about two people learning to speak - not through perfect words, but through the language of trust, patience, and heart.

"Some loves don't end, they wait." They were each other's first love-too young, too proud, and too afraid to fight for what they had. Years ago, Wang Yi-Bo and Xiao Zhan shared a quiet, intense love that bloomed in stolen glances and half-spoken promises. It was the kind of love that felt eternal... until life pulled them apart. Misunderstandings went unspoken, words were left unsaid, and separation became the easiest kind of heartbreak-one that never truly healed. Now, fate brings them back together when neither of them is prepared. Yi-Bo has learned to hide behind emotional distance, convincing himself that the past no longer matters. Xiao Zhan, warmer yet burdened by regret, carries memories he never let go of. When their paths cross again, the air between them is heavy with everything they lost-and everything they still feel. Old wounds reopen. Long-buried feelings surface. Love, once fragile, now demands courage. As they navigate unresolved pain, lingering longing, and the fear of being hurt again, Yi-Bo and Xiao Zhan must decide: Is love worth remembering... or is forgetting the only way to survive?

Sincere Brielle White has always been the soft one-gentle voice, pretty smile, big heart. Everyone thinks she has it all together. Nobody knows about the insecurity she hides so deep she can't even say it out loud. She keeps her brightness polished and perfect... scared that if anyone looks too closely, they'll see the cracks underneath. Then there's Terajaie Imani Connell. Silent. Standoffish. Untouchable. The kind of stud who speaks with her eyes more than her mouth, who fights only when she has to, who carries her past like a weight she learned to hide. People fear her before they understand her-but she prefers it that way. Trusting people has never ended well. Until Sincere. A seating change puts them side by side, and Terajaie notices the things everyone else misses-the quiet tremble in Sincere's hands, the way her smile fades when she thinks no one is looking, the exhaustion behind her eyes. And Sincere sees past Terajaie's coldness, past her silence, past her armor... and finds the girl who's been alone for too long. What starts as awkward glances and accidental conversations turns into late-night texts, warm rides home, soft touches, and a connection neither of them were ready for. But loving someone means letting them see the parts you're terrified to show. Sincere's hidden insecurity. Terajaie's guarded heart. Two girls learning what it means to feel safe-really safe-for the first time. Because sometimes love isn't loud. Sometimes it isn't dramatic. Sometimes... it's just warm.
