Ladybug

Mimika has always loved quietly-from the edges of friendship, behind soft smiles and unsent letters. Valerie was her best friend. Her almost. Her never.

Now grown and drifting apart, Mimika finds herself haunted by laughter that no longer fills the room and touches that meant more than they should have. But when Valerie unexpectedly re-enters her life, grief and hope collide. Old habits return. So do late-night talks, movie nights, and the ache of love that never had a name.

How long can you hold onto someone who was never really yours?

Ladybug is a tender, slow-burning exploration of unspoken love, growing up, and the quiet devastation of wanting more than a friendship can give.
