Back in 2019 - CHAESOO

Back when everything felt quieter-and louder at the same time.

In 2019, Jisoo learned how to smile through feelings she wasn't allowed to name. Rosé was taken, her hand held by someone else, her laughter belonging to a life Jisoo could only watch from the sidelines. So Jisoo did what she did best: she stayed. She protected the friendship. She swallowed the ache.

But love doesn't disappear just because it's inconvenient.

Set in stolen glances, late-night talks, and moments that linger a second too long, this story follows the kind of love that waits, hurts, and hopes anyway. A ChaeSoo story about restraint, timing, and the quiet heartbreak of loving someone you can't have-yet.

Some feelings are hidden not because they're weak, but because they're too strong.
