They encountered each other in autumn. They fell in love before understanding what love truly meant. Then, he disappeared.
Amid the golden leaves of 2007, Sera never anticipated her peaceful existence at a private school would be disrupted by a boy named Eli - a newcomer from abroad, radiating quiet smiles and harboring distant gazes. Their encounter was accidental: a collision in the hallway, notebooks tumbling, hands grazing as they gathered the disordered items. That brief instant? It altered everything.
However, just as their tale was set to commence, Eli left the country with memories tied to him.
Seventeen years later, destiny brings them back together - older, changed, yet still holding the memory of the final five minutes they experienced.
A tale of lost opportunities, enduring recollections, and a love that time struggles to diminish.

You Talk Too Much
Nicolas didn't want friends. Didn't want attention. Definitely didn't want her. But then Lina sat next to him. Every. Single. Day. She talked through the awkward silences, laughed at her own jokes, and asked questions he never answered. She was chaos in sneakers and bubblegum lip gloss - and he wanted nothing to do with her. ...Until he did. Because somehow, her noise started drowning out the thoughts he didn't know how to escape. And her voice became the only thing that made the silence bearable. This isn't a love story. Not at first. This is a story about a boy who lost his spark... And the girl who wouldn't let him disappear quietly. ✅ Nicolas ✅ Lina ✅ "You Talk Too Much" ✅ High school setting ✅ Healing + chaos + slow-burn (Btw I forgot to add that there will be no smut of any kind in this story. Maybe an innocent kiss or something but nothing else)

Bound By His Obsession [COMPLETED]
Prologue The night was heavy with rain, the kind that swallowed the stars and drowned out the hum of the city. Liana sat by her bedroom window, her heart caught in the same endless loop it had been for years. Kade. His name was a melody and a curse, a thread woven into every moment of her life since she was five years old. She remembered the way his laughter had once been innocent, the way his touch had been casual, careless. But as they grew older, something in him shifted. It was in the way his gaze lingered too long, how his voice turned softer when he said her name. She should have been afraid. Maybe she was, in some small corner of her heart. But she loved him anyway. What Liana didn't know-what she hadn't yet pieced together-was that Kade's devotion had gone far beyond friendship, far beyond love. To him, Liana wasn't just his best friend. She was his anchor, his obsession, the only thing in a world that often felt like chaos. And if he had to keep her close-by any means necessary-then so be it.Complete

The only hope she sees is to track down the baby's father, a man she deeply resents. She knows exactly where to find him. This man, as far as she knows, took advantage of her best friend during one of her lowest moments. The thought of facing him fills her with anger and disgust. But for the baby's sake, she gathers the courage to confront him. Their first meeting is tense. Eliana's heart is heavy with judgment and pain. What begins as a reluctant partnership turns into a tangled web of emotion, truth, and healing. Now Eliana must face the most difficult question of all: Can she trust the man she once hated... not just with the child, but with her own heart? P.S: This story is taglish.

When Our Eyes Met
Seventeen-year-old Eli Han has always lived a perfectly controlled life - top of his class, respected by teachers, untouchable among his peers. To everyone else, he's the model student with the calm smile and quiet confidence. But inside, Eli feels trapped in the same rhythm, day after day, with no one who truly sees him. Then Liam Seo transfers to Haneul High - sharp-tongued, confident, and carrying the kind of mystery that draws everyone in and pushes Eli away. From the moment their eyes meet, sparks fly - not the gentle kind, but the kind that burns. What starts as rivalry soon turns into something neither of them can explain: stolen glances, lingering touches, and late-night conversations that blur the line between hate and something dangerously close to love. But behind Liam's cold stare hides a painful past. And behind Eli's perfect life lies loneliness he's never dared to admit. As the two collide again and again, both will have to face the truth - that sometimes, the people we fight hardest against are the ones our hearts need most. A story about rivalry, healing, and the quiet power of love that begins with a glare and ends with understanding.
