Some stories are written in bold strokes; but this couples story unfolds quietly-between glances, in silence, in the margins. Iris prefers to live unnoticed, sketching strangers from the corner of her favorite café, content to stay hidden in the background. Then Rowan walks in-quiet, unreadable, and somehow impossible to ignore. What begins with a shared table slowly becomes something deeper, as two guarded hearts learn to see-and be seen-in ways they never expected.

What we tried to keep
We built something beautiful. We tried to hold onto it. And in the end, we chose to let it go, without breaking each other. A quiet story about love, the kind that grows slowly and fades just as gently. About two people who give their best, only to find they were never meant to stay lovers, but perhaps something else, something just as true. A story about effort, change, and the kind of goodbye that leaves the door open.Complete
Confidential
She was the quiet intern with big dreams and tired eyes. He was the unreachable senior with sharp stares and a voice that could make anyone pause. Their worlds collided in between deadlines, team meetings, and elevator silences. No one knew about the late-night calls, the coffee breaks that lasted too long, or the way he whispered "good girl" like it meant something more. In a company bound by rules and appearances, they were each other's secret-hidden behind locked phone screens and undone shirt buttons. But secrets have a way of surfacing. And love has a way of demanding more than silence. It was never just work. Not when the person you want is sitting across the desk.

In a story where loyalty and desire collide, some truths are spoken too late... and others remain everything unsaid.Complete
The Space Between Us
It all began with an empty seat in class. That tiny space between them didn't seem like much at first, but it slowly became the start of something unexpected. From casual conversations to little shared moments, the distance between them begins to shrink in ways neither imagined. A story about the quiet moments, the accidental glances, and the simple kind of love that grows in the space between two hearts.
Beneath Quiet Skies
Their first meetings are simple - a library table, a walk to class, a festival night lit by lanterns. But simplicity becomes something else. Quiet conversations become anchors. And what begins as coincidence slowly burns into the kind of closeness that makes the world feel less heavy. How simple it is to be neat on the outside while hiding a mess inside. That is Ren Takeda - always composed, always precise. For now it's enough to see him as the quiet, careful boy everyone thinks they know. And then there's Hana Kitsumi - his opposite. A messy bun, pastels on her sleeves, graphite staining her fingers. She expresses everything he doesn't, even the parts she once lost, the parts that were taken from her more than once. Together, they become something unexpected: two pieces of a beautiful puzzle, slow-burning and steady. A story not of grand gestures, but of quiet discoveries. A love that is perfect in its simplicity, and warm like a hug after a tough day.
petals in paris
💌 "Paris was meant to be a fresh chapter - a place of stitched dreams, quiet mornings, and the hum of a city that never stops creating. But in a single glance, Iris discovers that some stories aren't written in ink, but in the way two people look at each other - fleeting, unspoken, unforgettable. And sometimes, the city you choose ends up choosing your heart too."
