She never planned to fall for anyone-especially not a trainee with calloused hands, tired eyes, and dreams too big for his quiet heart.
Ethan was just another name on the list. Another dancer in the background. But to her, he was the one who stayed late, practiced until his feet gave up, and smiled like he had something to prove.
She was only meant to help behind the scenes. No attachments. No emotions. But somewhere between the late-night practices and silent conversations, her heart started dancing to his rhythm.
And when his time to shine finally came, she had to choose: step back into the shadows... or take one brave step forward with him.
Because some dreams bloom late.
And some love stories... start with a dance.

INTERLINKED || nishimura riki
They say some memories fade, but hers never did. Years later, a pair of eyes she thought she'd never see again pulls her back into a moment that changed everything. She's caught in the cycle of ordinary days-classes, work, and the weight of a family that feels more like a shadow. He's living the life millions dream of-stages, lights, and endless expectations that never let him breathe. Two lives that couldn't be more different, yet something keeps pulling them closer, like invisible threads that never snapped. In the blur of exhaustion, hidden feelings, and fleeting glances, they discover that some connections aren't meant to be forgotten. They're meant to be found. They're meant to stay- interlinked. ᥫ᭡. @elmonium started: 23.10.2025 ended:
Shy Eyes & Rose Skies
Rose has always believed in love-the kind that sweeps you off your feet, the kind worth waiting for. But after years of holding onto Ezra, the boy who gave her just enough attention to keep her hoping but never enough to take the next step, she's starting to wonder if maybe she's been chasing a dream that doesn't exist. Enter Mateo-the new guy in school from Oregon. Quiet, reserved, and with shy eyes that say more than his words ever could. He only has one friend, keeps to himself, and blends into the background... until Rose walks into his world. Mateo falls first, and he falls hard. Every smile she gives, every laugh he overhears, only pulls him deeper. But Rose is still tangled in the almost-love with Ezra, too blinded to see what's right in front of her. Slowly, though, she begins to notice-the way Mateo listens, the way he shows up without asking for anything in return, the way his silence feels steadier than Ezra's loudest promises. And when she finally lets go of the boy who never chose her, she realizes she's falling-this time into something real, something lasting. A hopeless romantic story about timing, letting go, and discovering that the quietest love can sometimes be the loudest.Complete
Before the Sunset Fall
Rose Ann Sanchez promised herself one thing when she entered college - no love, no distractions, just dreams. But then came David Luke Luciano. The boy who smiled softly, walked beside her quietly, and made her feel seen without trying. Late-night conversations turned into routine, shy glances became comfort, and somewhere between laughter and silence, they became more than just friends - without ever saying it. They weren't a couple. Just two hearts learning how to meet halfway. And sometimes, falling in love isn't a decision It's something that happens the moment you stop guarding your heart. A story about slow love, silent promises, and a bond that felt like forever - even before they realized it was love. Note: "Image not mine. Found online.

Maybe in Another Time
Liora believes that loving someone means being brave, even when it hurts. In high school, she finds herself drawn to Kael-a quiet, distant boy who keeps everyone at arm's length. Despite his cold rejections, Liora confesses her feelings again and again, choosing honesty over fear, hope over pride. Each confession becomes a small act of courage, even as her heart slowly learns what it means to ache. As days pass, glances linger longer, silences grow heavier, and emotions begin to shift in ways neither of them expects. While Liora struggles between holding on and letting go, Kael faces his own quiet battles-ones that shape the way he loves, the way he pushes people away, and the things he's too afraid to say out loud. This is a slow-burn story about unspoken feelings, missed timing, and the kind of love that doesn't always end the way we imagine-but still leaves a mark. A story about growing up, choosing yourself, and learning that sometimes, even if two hearts don't end up together, their story still matters.
