Growing up as an independent young lady, Iris lives a simple and happy life. Her world only revolves around her job and family, and not even once did she question why she had never met her soulmate yet. For, she never had an effort to look for one either considering her optimistic trait. That, things happened for a reason.
It started at a school reunion, where a fine young man who she remembered as her ultimate crush during their senior year, Emery, reappeared after so long. Coincidence after coincidence, the male eventually reconnects with her, blooming a little love from the deep pit of his stomach without knowing that Iris has a personal problem accepting love again in her life, thinking that she is cursed.
But, was it all coincidence that they met in every event that happened around them? Or, was it simply fate that brought them on the same path towards each other? Would it be okay if it was all far from expectations?
Will Emery change Iris's mindset about having men around her is ephemeral?

There is something inside her that she is unaware of and that, like flowers, is searching for the light. But just when Nora thinks she can follow her heart, she is faced with an insurmountable barrier that stands between her and the truth. Soon she will realize that she is so close, yet so far from finally being who she is. Unafraid, free from the shadows that haunt her. Every breakthrough is marked by the fear of losing everything, but every smile shared is a reminder that being herself won't hurt her. Join Nora on her journey to acceptance and the freedom to be who she really is.
The Unbreakable Thread Of LOVE
What is Love? Is it merely a fleeting emotion, or could True Love truly last forever? What of the elusive Thread of Love-is it strong enough to endure the trials of time, or can it snap under the weight of despair? And what of love at first sight? Is it a genuine phenomenon, or simply a figment of our imagination? Picture this: a Girl meets a Boy for the first time, and in that moment, they discover feelings that ignite something deep within them-something they never knew existed. What is this sensation that takes hold of their hearts? But how did they come to meet? Ah, that is where the story unfolds. They encounter each other during a practice-a practice that seems mundane at first but holds the potential for something extraordinary. What kind of practice, you ask? That's for you to discover later, as revealing too much now would spoil the thrill of the journey ahead. Yet, let's not ignore the shadows that linger over the Girl. Before this moment, she was shrouded in darkness, carrying a burden that weighed heavily on her heart. Why does she hurt so deeply? Trust me, you'll come to understand her pain-and perhaps, you'll find that in the depths of their shared experiences, they may forge an unbreakable bond that even the harshest trials cannot sever. The tale is just beginning. Stay tuned, for the true essence of their story lies ahead, waiting to be unraveled.Complete

Scared of touching him, that if I do it he will disappear right in front of my eyes, like a ghost. Scared that, on the contrary, he will get closer to me and I have no doubt that, in that case, I would be lost forever." "Would it be that terrible?" Felicity smirked. "Getting lost with him?"
