WHISPER OF MY HEART A story of young woman follows her childhood crush-an orphan taken in by her family-to university, determined to pursue both her dream of becoming a painter and the hope that he might one day see her as more than a little sister. Aster, the cherished only child of her parents, lives up to the delicate beauty of her name, inspired by an enchanting flower. On her 11th birthday, her father brings home Dylan, a quiet 14-year-old orphan, who is eventually embraced and treated almost like an older son by her parents. Though Aster and Dylan exchange few words, his calm presence makes her feel safe, and she grows up secretly admiring him. For years, she keeps her feelings hidden, but her heart shatters when Dylan leaves for college in the city. In his absence, she is forced to confront the true depth of her affection, realizing it is far more than simple admiration. Driven by the desire to be near him-and by her dream of becoming a great painter-Aster enrolls in the same university, hoping to finally bridge the distance between them. As she navigates her new life on campus, she seizes every opportunity to draw closer to Dylan, and her feelings intensify with each passing day. Will Aster find the courage to confess her love to Dylan, or will she leave her heart's whispers forever unspoken? And will Dylan ever see her as more than just a younger sister?
