Two brilliant minds, one a neuroscientist and the other a clinical psychiatrist, are assigned to a highly classified research program on "Cognitive Resurgence Therapy" - an experimental technique to awaken coma patients using memory stimuli and neural mapping. The trial subject is a comatose patient who mysteriously survived a near-fatal head injury with no identity, no past, and a bizarre brain scan that shows a functional default mode network (DMN) - suggesting conscious thought despite unresponsiveness.
The project aims to map and eventually "pull" the patient's consciousness back by reconstructing memory pathways using neurostimulation and immersive psychological cues.
As the leads work together, they develop a deep mutual intrigue - professionally, intellectually, and emotionally. But soon, they begin experiencing shared dreams, blackouts, and fragmented memories that don't belong to either of them.
The deeper they go, the more they question: Who is the patient? What are they really remembering?
"When We Were One" is a gripping psychological thriller that unravels the mind's deepest secrets - and asks how much of yourself you'd lose to become whole again.

The Mauler
"If you've heard his name... it might already be too late." He wasn't born. He was built. Locked in a hidden lab, raised behind titanium bars-starved, tortured, trained to survive. They called it science. Then, they called him Subject 07B. Now the cage is open. And it's too late to take it back. Sightings? Whispers. Survivors? None. His name is spoken like a curse. The Mauler. A shadow between screams and static. He doesn't hunt. He waits. Then strikes-without mercy, without a trace. Governments deny him. Cameras miss him. The ones who see him... don't come back. You were never supposed to know. Now that you do... He might already be coming. "Don't run. It won't matter." ───── Journalist Miélle, a fearless and determined reporter thriving on exposing truths buried under silence. Charming. Sharp. Reckless. She dives into the dark-where others run. But some secrets don't want to be found. And one of them is watching her. ───── The Mauler, a weapon born of cruelty, exists between man and monster. Caged since birth. Forged in pain. He moves in silence. Lives in shadow. Feeds on fear. But something human stirs beneath the horror. And when it surfaces... what happens when the monster remembers he's a man? ───── She wasn't meant to find him. But fate doesn't ask. And in a world where monsters are made, not born... Will she uncover the truth-or become the story no one lives to tell?![Martyr | Yoonmin [1] (unedited)](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/162834562-256-k276466.jpg)

When We Remembered the Ashes
"They forgot the fire. But you remembered the ashes." They were just 7 normal college kids waiting to go the educational trip to Russia. The events that unfolded shook the very core of their being. They survived though. Fifteen years after the silence, they believed it was over. They were living normal lives again. But snow returned like a memory, and with it-so did the loop. Same bodies. Same hotel. Same machine beneath the ice. But something's different. This time, they remember. And Taehyung is waiting. Young, unchanged. Smiling like he's seen this before. "You think I am your enemy?" he asks. "It's never been me. It's time." The truth stalks them now, half-buried and bleeding. And the only way out is to finish what was never supposed to begin. Even if it means killing the last fragments of themselves.Complete
