Not Quite Yours

Some people don't belong to you - they just stay close enough to matter.
Set on a university campus where work, friendships, and late nights blur into something more complicated, Not Quite Yours is a slow-burning story about timing, restraint, and the lines we tell ourselves we won't cross. After a first love that ends gently but leaves its mark, Iris promises herself distance. No attachments. No risks. She believes she knows where the boundaries are.
But desire doesn't always arrive as a stranger. Sometimes it grows in proximity, in shared responsibility, in glances that last a second too long. Drawn to someone she was never meant to want - too familiar, too close to her past, too tangled to name - Iris finds herself navigating a connection built on irony, silence, and almosts. Not Quite Yours explores the quiet pull of a love that lingers in the in-between, where nothing is fully claimed and everything feels just within reach.
