Petals Sinking in Quiet Hours

HS#1: Julian and Amerhys

They say every flower withers. Petals fall, drift, and disappear beneath quiet hours.

For Amerhys Kei Guinea, love was never loud-it was something fragile, something that sinks before it's ever named.

Years after high school, a reunion pulls her back into familiar faces and forgotten versions of herself. Successful on paper yet quietly hollow, Amerhys believes she has already outgrown the past. Until Julian Elixr Salvatorre walks in-unchanged and unreadable.

Once rivals. Almost something. Never lovers.

One game. One song. One held breath.

And suddenly, the petals she thought had long drowned begin to float again.

Some loves fade. Some linger. And some... wait for the right moment to bloom-or finally sink in.

Because not all flowers die quietly.
