Liliana finds peace in books, cameras, and quiet corners of the world. Angelo thrives on ice, speed, and expectations-but secretly craves calm.
When their paths cross in the college library, silence suddenly feels... alive. Words are few, glances linger, and two very different worlds begin to notice each other.
"I... I come here sometimes. To read. To... think." - Liliana
"You look like you belong here. Or... maybe the library belongs to you." - Angelo
A story of quiet moments, shared spaces, and the slow unfolding of something neither of them expected.

The Author Next Door [Ongoing]
All she wanted was a quiet life , a small flower shop with a cozy corner for books, a space scented with roses and stories. But when a reclusive new neighbor moves in, carrying secrets between his pages, her world begins to change. He's an anonymous author, hiding his name from the world. She's a dreamer who reads everything she can get her hands on. Between exchanged smiles over the fence and late-night conversations lit by warm lamplight, their stories start to entwine. But when his secret threatens to come between them, will the ending be as sweet as the beginning?
Sweetheart
Liliana James is a confident soul with a gentle smile-but don't mistake her softness for fragility. Life hasn't been soft-her mother's endless shifts and sacrifices have shaped Liliana into someone who moves through life with steady self-assurance and quiet command. She doesn't need to raise her voice to take up space. With her best friend at her side and a strong sense of who she is, she's learned to find light in life's overlooked corners-and to be that light when there is none. Caden Smith is a guarded ex-soldier turned reluctant bodyguard, currently working for a spoiled client who treats his team more like staff than security. In his line of work, boundaries are survival-but Liliana blurs those lines with a presence he can't ignore. Though he prefers to stay under the radar, his striking features and uncommon genes have always drawn attention he never asked for, leaving him even more reluctant to let anyone close. Liliana, however, is different-something in her feels like exhale. This is a tender, slow-burning story about two misfits whose paths quietly intertwine. As they navigate unspoken grief, growing pains, and the hush of becoming, Liliana and Caden discover a love that doesn't scream to be seen-but settles in like roots: steady, grounding, and deeply felt. Their souls weren't broken or incomplete. But together, for the first time, they begin to feel whole.

"You know," Sage murmurs against my neck, his voice a little bashful, "my sister says hugs are the fastest way to make someone feel better." I let out a huff of breath and open my mouth to respond. But before I can reply, he adds softly. "You're one of the most amazing people I know. And no one, absolutely no one, should ever make you feel otherwise." I let my eyes close for a second, letting that settle in a place I didn't even realise had been empty. "Okay," I say quietly, pulling back just enough to see his face and then sinking deeper into his warmth, my hands curling into his jacket, clutching like I'm afraid he'll vanish if I let go. ────── ✦ She wasn't looking for love, just a little peace. He was not planning to fall, but when he met her, he realised that some falls don't hurt. They heal. ✦ ────── If you are a reader like me, someone who loves comfort books, pure love stories, and heathy relationships that feel real and safe then maybe this book is just perfect for you 🍂
Something That Feels Quiet | Hwang Hyunjin
Hyunjin doesn't mean to end up in the small gallery tucked between a bakery and an alleyway- but it's raining, and the door's open, and he's tired in a way he can't explain. Aeri doesn't recognize him. She's too busy trying to remember what it means to make art that feels like hers again. They don't talk much at first. Then they do. Not about everything, but about the things that matter. Sketchbooks are exchanged. Silence is shared. Somewhere in the middle of all that stillness, they start becoming something to each other. Not lovers. Not strangers. Just... safe. And when the world starts noticing, neither of them runs. They just stay exactly where they are. ૮₍ '• ˕ •' ₎ა This story is quiet on purpose. I started 'something that feels quiet' because I wanted to explore what it means to be known in silence, not because of who you are to the world, but because of who you are when no one's looking. It's not a story about grand confessions or fast-paced drama. It's about the small things: an unreadable look, the stillness between two people, the comfort of being seen without being recognized. Aeri and Hyunjin's connection isn't loud. It's soft and slow, like art you stand in front of for a long time before realizing why it moves you. If you've ever felt burnt out, like your presence takes up too much space, or maybe not enough, I hope this story gives you a moment of peace-something gentle, something still. Thank you for being here and for letting quiet things have space to bloom. - HComplete
