Ji-a never believed in second chances at life. After losing her parents, she built walls around her heart, living quietly under her uncle's roof. But everything changes when she meets Min-jun - a boy with a quiet smile, a hidden sadness, and a light that pulls her out of her darkness.

Their days together are filled with laughter, stolen moments, and a love that blooms too quickly, too beautifully. But behind Min-jun's smile lies a truth he hides - a fragile body, a fading time, and a destiny he cannot escape.

As Ji-a struggles to hold onto him, she learns lessons she never expected: how to love deeply, how to endure heartbreak, and most of all, how to live fully even when life is unbearably cruel.

Years later, Ji-a builds the life Min-jun asked her to - a family, a future, and happiness that honors his last wish. Yet in her heart, he remains her first love, the boy who taught her to smile.

A bittersweet journey of love, loss, and healing, this story is about two souls who found each other in a fleeting moment of youth - and a love so strong, it lives on beyond .

Still Yours by talesofJA

Years ago, they were bound by a mistake called marriage. Too young to understand love, too proud to stay. They walked away , carrying the scars, the silence, and a story left unfinished. Now, after years apart, Arjun and Avantika stand on opposite ends of success , independent, unstoppable, and untouched by the past... or so they believe. But fate is never done playing its game. One unexpected meeting and all the walls they built begin to tremble. This time, there are no childish promises. No anger. No blame. Just two broken souls, learning to love the right way , the adult way , with patience, depth, and the kind of longing that never really dies. Maybe this is what destiny always meant .... not the love they lost, but the one they were meant to grow into. A story of second chances, healing hearts, and a love reborn in its most mature form. "They were too young to love right. Now fate gives them one last chance."

But love isn't easy-not when family disapproves, and the past refuses to stay buried. How far will Taehyung go to protect the girl he has always loved? And how much will Yn sacrifice to stand beside him? Their journey is filled with stolen kisses and tearful nights, promises whispered and hearts broken, fights that test them and love that saves them. But destiny is cruel, and family bonds run deep.

The Heart KNOWS | Ongoing | Vihaan×Indhu by Author_indhu

#Book1 of The Heart Series VIHAAN MALHOTRA × INDHU RAJAN "That's what you do, isn't it?" His voice was sharp, edged with something dangerously close to anger. I frowned. What the hell is he talking about? "What-" I started, but he cut me off. "Always craving attention. From everyone... from every man-"The words barely left his mouth before my hand struck his cheek. A sharp slap, loud in the quiet room. Wow. Four years. Four whole years since I last saw him, and the first thing I do? Slap my first love. Great. Just great. ──── ୨୧ ──── Indhu walked away from love, heartbreak, and the boy who once shielded her in the rain, Vihaan. He was her first love, the one she believed never saw her the same way. What she thought was an unrequited crush turned into a painful memory, marked by misunderstandings and unresolved emotions. They met again through the wedding of Indhu's best friend, Aadya and Vihaan's older brother Arnav, an event that should have been a happy beginning but instead left her heartbroken. Convinced she had moved on, she built a life on her own terms-until Vihaan reappeared. Vihaan, cold and unreadable, never let anyone get close-especially not Indhu. He buried his feelings, mistaking distance for control. But when the truth behind their past finally comes to light, he refuses to let her slip away again. Now bound to the man she tried to forget, Indhu finds herself trapped between past wounds and present desires. And as possessive tension, lingering resentment, and years of unspoken longing collide, she fights to guard her heart while Vihaan struggles to claim what was always his. But in a game of denial and temptation, who will surrender first? ──── ୨୧ ──── (This is my first book, so there may be a few mistakes or small inconsistencies, but it won't affect the reading. I'll be fixing everything once the book is completed❤️😭) Starting Date: 13/03/

Between Thunder and Stillness by Seoulfulbxblover

When duty binds two strangers, love learns to whisper. Kim Jiwoong, the country's youngest and most stoic bachelor CEO, doesn't believe in love-after all, he's only known heartbreak. Shen Quanrui, the beautiful and brilliant doctor who treated Jiwoong's grandfather, believes love isn't meant for him, haunted by his own past. A will ties their fates together in secret-a marriage hidden from the world, born of obligation rather than affection. But within the walls of the Kim mansion, in quiet moments between morning teas, shared hallways, some teasing from the members and thunderstorms that rattle the windows, two guarded hearts begin to find love with in each other. A family that slowly started loving the new member more than anything else. No grand declarations. No dramatic confessions. Just the gentle unfolding of something real-because sometimes, love isn't loud. Sometimes, love is simply staying. --- Here I am with another story of two souls healing something they didn't break... Hope so u will like it and pls vote and comment 💕 Enjoy reading everyone... ~Blivian

Tell Me, What Happens If I Fall? A Love Letter. │Minsung by wrensagerune

He wasn't supposed to matter. He wasn't supposed to stay. But he did. This isn't a story of perfect beginnings. It's one of slow healing, unexpected love, and the boy who stayed. ~~~~~ Minho was taught to be the perfect son - obedient, devoted, and shaped by his mother's rigid beliefs. Outwardly, he's an extrovert who easily befriends others, but this is just a façade hiding his true struggles. Jisung, quiet and reserved in comparison, may stay more in the background, but he is fiercely loyal and loud with his friends, unafraid to be himself. When fate places them in the same orbit, sparks fly - not the good kind, not at first. But beneath the biting words and careful distance, something tender begins to grow. As the seasons shift and their lives entwine, what starts as something uncertain turns into something undeniable. With the quiet strength of a hand held during a storm, and laughter shared over late-night dinners, affection takes root in the most unexpected place. But healing doesn't follow a straight line - and Minho's past still echoes loudly. In a world that didn't make space for boys like him, Jisung becomes the one who stays. The one who waits. The one who shows him what real love can look like. This is a story about falling - into truth, into fear, into love. And about the boy who never let go. A love letter to the one who stayed. Before diving in, please consider reading the "Before You Begin" chapter. It contains important trigger and content warnings to help you navigate the story safely.
