An Lac Temple

Dylan is quiet, self-contained, and always in the background. The kind of person who speaks more in silences than in sentences. Daniel is his opposite: warm, curious, and always surrounded by sound, whether it's the chatter of friends or the notes of the piano he never stops playing.

They meet at fifth-teen, in the unlikeliest of places - a religious buddhist camp. Their first conversations are awkward. Their friendship, accidental. But over time, something slow and undeniable begins to take root - a bond shaped not by grand gestures but by the quiet things.

Dylan doesn't know what to call what he's feeling. Daniel thinks he does, but he's afraid of naming it. So instead, they orbit each other for years, sometimes close enough to burn, sometimes miles apart, until life, or fate, or something else entirely forces them to decide:

Will they keep pretending it's nothing?

Or will they finally let it be something?

A story about time, tension, and the love that blooms in all the spaces we don't speak aloud.
