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.

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.
Cynical Souls
COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.Complete

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)
