"He said about a party?" Hyunsik said, a sympathetic look in his eyes, knowing he won't be able to make it yet again "It's alright, I'll just go alone. I'll have Eli and his fiance. It will be disappointing that you're not able to come, but I can always buy one of those cardboard cutouts of you." I said He laughed loudly "That could work, you know! Though I hear cardboard me can be quite stiff, not the best for mingling!" He replied We both laughed together at the silly idea "Seriously though, don't worry about it, I'll have fun either way." I said He shot me a sad smile "I'm so sorry, Carys. I wish I could come to every function... I have to get back to work now, I love you!" Hyunnie said, pulling his earphones back over his ears "I love you, too, Hyunnie." I replied He hung up, leaving me alone again in the school classroom, teaching teenagers about art.

Hyunjin doesn't mean to end up in the small gallery tucked between a bakery and an alleyway- but it's raining, and the door's open, and he's tired in a way he can't explain. Aeri doesn't recognize him. She's too busy trying to remember what it means to make art that feels like hers again. They don't talk much at first. Then they do. Not about everything, but about the things that matter. Sketchbooks are exchanged. Silence is shared. Somewhere in the middle of all that stillness, they start becoming something to each other. Not lovers. Not strangers. Just... safe. And when the world starts noticing, neither of them runs. They just stay exactly where they are. ૮₍ '• ˕ •' ₎ა This story is quiet on purpose. I started 'something that feels quiet' because I wanted to explore what it means to be known in silence, not because of who you are to the world, but because of who you are when no one's looking. It's not a story about grand confessions or fast-paced drama. It's about the small things: an unreadable look, the stillness between two people, the comfort of being seen without being recognized. Aeri and Hyunjin's connection isn't loud. It's soft and slow, like art you stand in front of for a long time before realizing why it moves you. If you've ever felt burnt out, like your presence takes up too much space, or maybe not enough, I hope this story gives you a moment of peace-something gentle, something still. Thank you for being here and for letting quiet things have space to bloom. - H
