Embroidered to You (#1-Mean Series)

In a tight-knit circle of ten friends, everything seems normal-until tension brews between two people who were never meant to get along.

Shanella is outspoken, straightforward, and unapologetically honest. She says what she thinks, no matter who gets offended. Geohan, on the other hand, is cold, sharp-tongued, and used to getting his way. His words always cut deep-especially when they're directed at her.

Their conflict isn't shallow.

It started when Shanella exposed Geohan's older brother for cheating with Shanella's LDR friend-an incident that led to him being sent abroad. Since then, Geohan has blamed her for everything that followed. Every sarcastic remark, every cold glare, every insult-he makes sure she feels it.

Yet despite the tension, they remain in the same friend group. Same table. Same laughs. Same space.

And no matter how much Geohan resents her, or how much Shanella refuses to back down, neither of them can fully walk away.

Because in a circle where everyone is connected-

avoiding each other was never an option.

And maybe, just maybe...

hate isn't the only thing growing between them.
