around me | marc bernal

"why do you always make me feel like im everything."

"because you are. everything and nothing else."

In a world that kept tearing them apart, they kept finding their way back to each other.

When Beatrice De Paul moves to Barcelona to escape the noise of a complicated past and focus on her future, the last person she expects to collide with-again-is Marc Bernal. Her ex. Her heartbreak. Her enemy. And now, her rehab patient.

Marc is Barcelona's golden boy, sidelined with a career-threatening injury. He never expected the girl he once lost to be the one helping him stand again-literally. But time hasn't dulled their chemistry; it's only made it more dangerous. What starts as tense silence turns into shared late nights, teasing touches, and a love neither of them is ready to admit.

As the weight of grief, fame, and secrets press on them, Marc and Bea must navigate healing wounds-both physical and emotional-while pretending they aren't falling in love all over again.

Because some stories don't start with fireworks. Some start with broken hearts and end with two people choosing each other again and again.
