Mirae

Mirae, a quiet high school senior living in the Philippines, has spent most of her life trying to stay invisible. Born to a South Korean parents but raised in a country where she often feels like an outsider, she's learned to keep people at arm's length-because the less you let people in, the less it hurts when they leave. Books are her escape, solitude is her shield, and the future feels like a looming question mark she'd rather ignore.

But one night, under the pale glow of a streetlamp outside a convenience store, Mirae's carefully kept distance begins to crack.Zoran Matteo -charming, persistent, and far too observant-sits beside her, offering instant ramen, a small slice of cake, and a conversation she didn't expect. As the night stretches on, so does their connection, peeling back layers Mirae has kept hidden even from herself.
