THE WO-MAN (COMPLETE)
By day, Aiden Torres is an ordinary 17-year-old boy trying to disappear. By night, he becomes Aira - a beautiful girl he never chose to be, in a body that doesn't feel like a mask, but a mystery. The transformation began without warning, just as the sun dipped behind the school rooftop. Pain like fire, a mirror that didn't reflect who he thought he was - and suddenly, Aiden's life split in two. Six months later, Aiden lives in silence, keeping the secret of his dual self hidden from everyone. Until one night, Kean Lee - the quiet, observant artist from school - sees her. And he doesn't look away. Kean doesn't just see Aira. He sketches her. He studies her. And he starts to piece together a truth no one else has ever gotten close to. As nights grow longer and feelings grow deeper, Aiden is forced to confront the question he's been avoiding: ❝Am I Aiden pretending to be Aira, or Aira trapped inside Aiden? Or... am I something else entirely?❞ "THE WO-MAN" is a heart-stirring slow-burn BL romance about identity, transformation, and what it means to be truly seen. It's a story where gender bends, love deepens, and secrets aren't just hidden - they're shared. 🌙✨ In the quiet hours between sunset and dawn, one boy will discover that maybe he was never meant to choose between who he is and who he becomes... maybe he's both.Lengkap
