A Love That Shouldn't Exist
Hematite has always loved Gynger in a way she shouldn't. In a way that burned too deep, too dangerously-something fragile and consuming all at once. But instead of confessing, she settled for friendship, convincing herself that having a piece of Gynger was better than losing her entirely. For years, Gynger danced on the blurred lines between them, touching, teasing, and holding Hematite close but never quite enough. She moved in and out of relationships, never looking at Hematite the way she craved to be seen. Until one drunken night, when Gynger kissed her-and then pretended like it never happened. Everything shattered when a toxic friend exposed Hematite's long-buried feelings, unraveling the delicate balance they had maintained. Gynger pulled away, distancing herself and finding solace in a new relationship-with a man. Hematite was left behind, forced to watch as Gynger found stability in someone else, while she drowned in her own emotions. Caught between her obsession with Gynger and the lingering toxicity of her ex, Sevyn -a street-affiliated man who left her broken more times than she could count-Hematite spirals.
