Fragmented Hearts [GL]

Some stories begin with laughter.
This one begins with silence.

In a place that looks ordinary, two people keep crossing paths at the wrong time. A student who hides behind playfulness. And a teacher who hides behind control.

At first, it feels like a game-glances avoided, words left unfinished, distance carefully kept.

But something doesn't add up.
Unexplained wounds.
Lost memories.
Moments that feel... too clean to be accidents.

The closer they get, the more they pull away.
Because some truths are easier to ignore-especially when they hurt.

And when everything finally comes to light, one question remains: Who should be feared... and who should be believed?

Because there are things that don't stay buried.
Marks that appear without reason.
Memories that refuse to come back.
Moments that feel... rehearsed.

And somewhere in between-are choices.

Quiet ones.
Dangerous ones.
The kind you make when love starts to blur the line between right and wrong.

Because how far would you go... for love?

Would you lie?
Would you hide the truth?
Would you protect someone-even if it destroys you?

Because sooner or later, the truth will be revealed.
