✨ "Even the most broken hearts still beat - for love, for hope, for someone who sees them." ✨

Jean's world fell apart the day her mother died. What followed was years of silence, cruelty, and separation-from her sister, from love, from herself. Now, eight years later, Jean is back. Older, guarded, but not entirely lost.

She didn't expect to meet Tim-the quiet boy hiding pain behind his music and a smile that never quite reaches his eyes. He's healing from a tragedy of his own, one that left him scarred inside and out. Yet something about Jean makes him feel again. And for Jean, Tim is the only place in the world where she doesn't have to pretend.

Between choir rehearsals, music rooms, and rainy afternoons, something begins to grow between them. Something fragile. Something real.

But the past never stays buried. With Karine's cruelty, Nana's absence, and Eric's obsession haunting her steps, Jean must decide: will she keep running from love-or finally let herself be found?

In a world where pain is loud and love is quiet, sometimes the softest whispers carry the most meaning.

A story about broken people finding home in each other. About family, music, and the kind of love that doesn't fix you - but makes the healing beautiful.All Rights Reserved

Painted Scars by abmarito

The world only sees the spotlight. They see the idol-his smile, his perfection, the dream he sells. They don't see the shadows that follow him home. Taeyoung built an empire out of music, but not even fame can silence the voice of the past... or the memory of the girl he left behind. Jisoo thought she had escaped. Buried her secrets beneath ink, between pages, behind practiced smiles. But when a single message appears-"Stay away... You know the consequences,"-she learns the past doesn't stay buried. It waits. Patient. Merciless. And now, in the city where everything began, their worlds collide once more. Desire and betrayal. Secrets and scars. A love that feels like salvation- and a truth that could ruin them both. -------- Because some stories don't end. They haunt you.

Almond by byzuwa

"Some people teach you how to speak again. Others make you wish you'd stayed silent." _____ Almond A quiet love. A buried past. A story that will leave you aching. She doesn't talk much-not about the things that matter. Not about the names she still can't say aloud. Not about the night that changed everything. She just wants to breathe without breaking. To disappear into the background and not be noticed. But He notices her. Gentle where others push, patient where others pry-he doesn't ask her to open up. He just stays. And sometimes, that's louder than words. But love is never simple. And even the softest hearts have storms waiting inside them. "A soft love story wrapped in ache, healing, and unspoken words. Walk with me through the quiet chaos of two broken hearts trying to find their way. You won't regret it." -----

Step By Step 🌟 ~ Minsung by MinsungLover18

Hey guyssss sooo this is my first Story ever so please no hate. English ist my first language so also please dont hate if i did write something wrong. Hope you anjoy the story. Description: > "You can't fix someone who's already broken." Han Jisung has heard those words too many times. Living in a house filled with anger and bruises, he's mastered the art of smiling through pain - until one night everything breaks for real. Lee Minho is cold, sharp, and terrifyingly quiet. Everyone says he has no heart - but maybe he just keeps it hidden behind walls made of fear. When Jisung and Minho's worlds collide, pain meets pain.

They just need someone to stay. - ⚠️ TW: Mentions of abuse, trauma, eating disorder, self-harm, and depression. No graphic content. Story focuses on recovery, love, and found family.

Wounded Heart ✔ by Ruhi_93

She loved him with a devotion deeper than breath itself. He was her heartbeat, her soul's anchor. But he belonged to someone else. "He is my breath, and I will forget him when I forget to breathe." Her memories were hers alone-precious, untouchable, unshared. Even if the world told her to forget, she clung to the fragments of a love that was never hers to keep. Until fate bound her to the same man whose heart had long been buried with another. "I married you to fulfil my Aashi's last wish. You will never belong here." His cruelty was a shield for his grief. Her silence was armor for her pain. Yet somewhere between bitterness and heartbreak, something unexpected sparked-something fragile, something forbidden. But when apologies come too late and confessions fall on a heart turned to stone, love risks becoming nothing more than ashes. She walks away, her love long faded. He stands shattered, vowing to fight for her, to heal her, to burn himself if it means rekindling the fire in her heart. Even if it destroys him.

Loving Zach (MxM) by DKDaisy

Sometimes you need just one person to make all the difference in the world. And even better if you get a whole family of them. Zach's been living in his car for a month now. He has nowhere to go, no job and his money is starting to run out. Life has been rough on him, growing up in an abusive home and later in life becoming the center of a vile man's attention. Just as he thinks his life is never getting better, he meets the charming business owner Dean. Zach is a broken boy and has nothing to offer to a successful businessman who's so handsome he could be on a magazine cover. But life has a way of putting the right person in your path even if you didn't know you were on the one. This is a finished, full length (80k words), slow burn romance about learning to trust, falling in love and healing after life has beaten you down. !Trigger warning: This story deals with child neglect, child abuse, domestic violence and rape. I wasn't overly descriptive about these situations, but they are still a big part of the story. !Explicit sexual scene. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction.

Before Us, After Me by Acel89

A story of love that bloomed, broke, and left her to rebuild from the pieces. They met by chance. Fell hard. Built dreams between kisses and promises. And then- the slow unraveling. This is the story of a girl who loved deeply and lost quietly. Of betrayal whispered through late-night silences and heartbreak that didn't end with goodbye. It's about watching him become someone else's, while she was still holding onto the version of him he used to be. But it's also about becoming. Told in six parts-Before Us, Becoming Us, The Distance, The Ending, After Us, and Becoming Me Again-this is her journey from first glance to final goodbye, and the love she found on the other side of letting go.

WHERE WINTER BLOOMS by F_Laleska_CC

Sometimes, first love isn't a person. It's the first time someone truly sees you. Nathan sings in silence. No one knows he does. No one asks why he stopped shining. Ryan pretends he's fine. No one notices he's breaking inside. A paper plane connects them. An empty theater listens. And in the middle of the world's noise, two boys find in music a language more honest than words. But growing up hurts. Loving hurts more. And the fear of disappointing those who should protect you can be louder than any melody. This story is for those who've ever felt like they didn't belong. For those who carry invisible wounds and still dare to dream. For those who know that love doesn't always shout... sometimes, it just sings.

Love In The Shadow by amirina1701

Prologue - When Hearts Break Betrayal doesn't scream. It whispers. It seeps in like poison, invisible at first, until one day you wake up and realize you've been dying quietly inside. That was me. A wife. A mother. A woman discarded for someone else's smile on a glowing screen. He was supposed to be my forever. Instead, he became my wound. Eight months later, I'm still learning how to breathe without bleeding. Two children look at me with eyes too wise for their years. Han, seventeen, carrying silence like armor. Bella, six, asking me why Ami cries at night when the world is asleep. I tell her it's just allergies. She doesn't believe me. Some nights, I wonder if I still exist beyond the roles I'm forced to carry-mother, provider, survivor. Is there still a woman left inside me? Or did she die the night she saw the truth blinking on his phone? And then, in the middle of that loneliness, I met him. Not in the real world, but behind a username. Mr× A stranger with shadows darker than mine. A man broken by betrayal, scarred by addiction, living with an illness that became his shame. We should have never crossed paths. But broken souls recognize each other. And sometimes, even in the darkest places, love finds a way to whisper back. This isn't a fairy tale. This is a story of two wounded hearts, meeting in the rain of their ruins, daring to dream of sunlight again.

Glow Season (Jikook) by Jiminethebest

🌙 Genre: Slow-burn | Angst | Second Chances | Emotional Healing | Quiet Romance | Found Again 🌟 Summary: Years ago, under the flickering neon of a Seoul summer, Jimin and Jungkook fell in love - quietly, suddenly, and all at once. But life was loud. Fame got bigger. Love got lost. Now, years later, they meet again on the island of Namhae, where Jungkook has vanished from the public eye and Jimin is sent to choreograph for a mysterious soloist. Neither expected the other. Neither is the same person they once loved. But the glow is still there. Faint. Familiar. Like the first time. This is not about rewriting their past. This is about asking- Can a heart broken by time still choose love again?
