In the quiet rhythm of office life, Nayla finds herself drawn to someone she can never truly have. At 26, her heart races in silence for Hana-her senior, her colleague, her quiet anchor.
Hana, at 40, carries herself with grace and calm, unaware of how deeply her presence lingers in Nayla's days. Between them, there are only small exchanges-brief smiles, light conversations, the kind of moments that seem ordinary to others but mean everything to Nayla.
This is not a story of love confessed or answered. It is the tender journey of unrequited love-where admiration becomes both a comfort and a burden, and where the heart learns to carry what words cannot.

Closer To You [jikook]
In the quiet spaces between words and silences, they stumble, two fractured souls reaching through the dark. Burnt mornings, tangled nights, and the weight of all the things left unsaid. Love here isn't a gentle flame, it's a storm, fierce and fragile, pulling them closer even as it threatens to tear them apart. This is a story of scars and surrender, of fragile hope whispered beneath broken breaths, and the endless ache of wanting someone to stay .. even when it feels impossible. Closer. Always closer.Complete

The Ones we Shouldn't Love: ACT I
It starts fast-like lightning striking dry earth. What begins as a spark becomes a fire neither of them can contain. It's the kind of love that keeps you up at night, wide-eyed and breathless, not out of fear, but because you can't bear to miss a single moment. It bruises the heart in places no one sees, but never breaks it-never harms it. Just leaves fingerprints, soft and lingering. Leaving would be easier if love ever truly left. But it doesn't. It lingers in the walls, in the sheets, in the silence between words. One heart clings to memory, loving what was. The other leans into the unknown, loving what might be. And somewhere in between, love becomes a duty-an unspoken promise, heavy and unshakable. All she wants is quiet now. Not the silence of loneliness, but the stillness of peace. A place where her heart doesn't have to choose between two kinds of love-only rest in the safety of her own.
