She's the kind of girl who never lets anyone in. Not really. Too guarded, too smart. Too dangerous in her own quiet, brittle way. Everyone thinks she's cold, unfeeling. She prefers it that way. But then he shows up. Not loud, not perfect. Just... persistent. And something about him makes her flinch in a different way. Not from fear - but from recognition.
Jay doesn't try to fix her. He doesn't run when she bites. He stays long enough to bleed for her, and somehow, that's worse than if he'd left.

Where Silence Lingers
"If things were different..." Jeff's voice trails off. Ivy finishes it for him: "We would've been something, right?" He fell for her when she was still learning how to let people close. She fell for him when he'd already learned how to stay safe behind silence. They walk the same campus, smile the same polite smiles, and avoid the same memories they both keep replaying at night. Jeff doesn't blame her for falling late - he thinks she deserves a love without hesitation. Ivy keeps drifting toward him anyway - a little too curious, a little too attached to the version of him she once imagined. Some stories don't arrive loudly. Some slip in quietly, in the hesitation before a confession, in the space between two hearts that almost touched. A tender, aching slow-burn about timing, courage, and the love that waits in the quiet.
The Murderers Daughter
She's the murderer's daughter. Cold. Quiet. Untouchable. He's the boy who smiles like nothing scares him-until he meets her. Zaria doesn't need anyone. Not after what happened. Not after her mother took the fall for a crime she didn't commit. Not after the world branded her a monster's child. But Riven sees her. The real her. The one behind the walls. The one who still wakes up screaming at 3 AM. He follows her through silence, sarcasm, and the storm she hides inside. She pushes him away-but he stays. He always stays. Until one day... he vanishes. And Zaria realizes the scariest thing of all- She might've needed him more than she ever wanted to admit. A story about trauma, slowburn love, and healing in the quiet moments. He calls her ghost. She calls him stray cat. Neither of them knows how to say "don't leave."![serendipity || 박성훈 [ park sunghoon ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/395181787-256-k414536.jpg)
serendipity || 박성훈 [ park sunghoon ]
"In a world full of schedules and silence, she was the chaos he never knew he needed." He never believed in coincidences. She never stopped hoping for miracles. When two strangers with nothing in common cross paths, a quiet bond begins to bloom-unplanned, unexpected, unforgettable.
Detention for Two
He's the guy everyone warns you about- with fists full of trouble, ink on his skin, and a stare that dares you to look away. She's the girl no one notices- quiet, sharp, always two steps ahead and one word from setting everything on fire. When Ivy Lane calls out Carter Hayes in front of the entire class, it should've ended with silence. Instead, it ends with detention. Together. One empty classroom. Two stubborn hearts. And a thousand seconds where the tension cuts deeper than any insult. He calls her princess. She calls him predictable. But the longer they're stuck in the same room, the more obvious it becomes- Hate might be the safest thing they feel.Complete![Shattered- Outer Banks Fanfic [JJ MAYBANK]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/332888121-256-k689045.jpg)
Shattered- Outer Banks Fanfic [JJ MAYBANK]
Montana Summers was everything JJ Maybank thought he hated-too kind, too perfect, too golden. Convinced no one could be that flawless, he made it his mission to find her fault. But every time she chose kindness over bitterness, JJ's resolve cracked. Beneath her sunny exterior, he saw glimpses of pain and resilience that mirrored his own, though she wore her scars with grace he couldn't understand. The more he tried to push her away, the more he realized they weren't so different. What terrified JJ wasn't her perfection-it was how much he cared for her despite himself. Montana Summers wasn't just the girl he couldn't figure out; she was the girl he couldn't let go. slow burn enemies to friends to lovers
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)

Always
She was his everything, his reason to keep going. A single accident spiraled into something no one expected - a battle with weakness, hidden truths, and fragile days spent clinging to hope. Through hospital nights, whispered reassurances, and quiet tears, Jay never left her side. He held on through every storm, every smile she forced, every moment she pretended to be fine. But when fate dealt its cruelest hand, her final words became the promise that would haunt and comfort him for the rest of his life: "I love you, Jay." A story of love, pain, and the kind of bond that lingers long after goodbye.Complete
