It all started at the little cafe I once worked at.
I went to get my daily cup of coffee, then I saw you.
You were sitting alone at the corner table reading a book.
While wearing those big glasses that make you look so nerdy yet adorable.
Turns out you don't even need glasses, you just enjoy wearing them.
You got up and as you went to leave, you looked at me and smiled a tiny smile.
I didn't get your name, but I'll remember you as the boy in the small cafe.

Almost Hate, Almost Love (WilliamEst / EstWilliam)
An enemies-to-lovers story that follows William and Est-two boys bound by childhood rivalry, stubborn pride, and an unspoken connection that never quite went away. When Est moved into William's quiet Chiang Mai neighborhood, he didn't just bring noise and confidence-he brought change. To William, Est was loud, flashy, and infuriatingly good at everything. To Est, William was cold, smug, and impossible to impress. Over the years, they clashed like fire and ice, turning every shared moment into a silent war of words, glares, and video game showdowns. But everything changes when William finally follows his older brother to university-only to find himself roommates with the one person he swore he'd never tolerate again. Older now. Sharper. Still rivals... but something feels different. Because sometimes, hate lingers too long. And sometimes, it starts to feel a little too much like something else.Complete

Snippet: He walked up to the counter slowly, eyes scanning the menu, although he wasn't really reading it. "You're new here," the barista said, already watching him. Est looked up. "How did you know?" The barista smiled, easy and confident. "Because I'd remember your face if you weren't." That made Est pause. His lips twitched, amused despite himself. "I'm William," the barista added, extending a hand. "Let me make you a drink. I've got just the thing." Est raised an eyebrow. "Do I get to know what it is?" "Nope," William said cheerfully. "Only question is-do you trust me?" Est stared at him for a second, then nodded. "Surprise me."Complete

William blinked. "Yeah?" Est tried to sound casual. "I thought you might like it. I mean, you obviously have strong opinions about lemon tarts." That earned a real smile. Small, but honest.
