Sticky Sweet | ONC 2025 - The Art Of Living

"Chelsea?"

That voice was suspiciously familiar. Golden and smooth. Rich and sweet with a satisfying gnaw. Like honey drizzled over a warm piece of perfectly toasted bread. Just charred enough so when you bite into it, it makes that satisfying crunch. The perfect balance of savoury base and sweet topping.

But as delicious as honey toast is, if you were clumsy like Chelsea, you were bound to make a mess. Honey can get absolutely everywhere, and wiping it just spreads the chaos further, attracting even more mess.

🍯🍯🍯

Wannabe singer Leon and study-bug Chelsea first met in the final year of high school. Their relationship was rocky, messy, and with some awkward twists. Feelings ran amuck until and they abruptly parted ways.

Years pass, and suddenly Leon is back. The door that closed to Chelsea has now reopened and she has the opportunity to take a second chance. However this second chance does not come without surprises. And Leon has three of them.
