Are We Really Just Friends?

My first book back after a years-long hiatus from writing. Please leave feedback and report any issues you encounter so I can make the necessary corrections.

Growing up side by side, Ji SuhYeon and Kwak Y/N learned how to be everything for each other - best friends, safe places, constants in a world that never stopped changing. But as adulthood settles in, so do the feelings neither of them ever learned how to name.

Now navigating the working world, SuhYeon finds comfort in the familiar rhythms of her coffee shop job, while Y/N is pulled into the structured chaos of the corporate world. Their bond remains easy, warm, and deeply rooted - but cracks begin to form as unspoken emotions surface and new people enter their lives.

Caught between comfort and change, longing and hesitation, both are forced to confront a quiet question that's followed them for years:

Were they ever really just friends?

A slow-burn, one-sided romance that explores timing, emotional miscommunication, and the fragile space between friendship and love - where the smallest moments carry the heaviest weight.
