College was supposed to be a fresh start. New campus,new people,new life. But for Milk and Love,nothing is ever that simple. From chaotic first days and unexpected reunions to late-night study sessions, café dates,and quiet moments that mean more than words,their journey through university becomes something deeper than just surviving-it becomes about growing up together. Milk, practical and easily flustered,tries to keep everything under control. Love, playful and unpredictable,turns every moment into something unforgettable. Between group projects, friendships that feel like family, and feelings that slowly become impossible to ignore, they find themselves navigating not just college life-but each other. Alongside them are their equally unforgettable friends-Namtan & Film, Jingjing & Piploy-each with their own stories of love, laughter, and finding where they belong. But as days pass and the future gets closer, reality starts to whisper: dreams, careers, distance, and the weight of adulthood waiting just beyond campus. Will they stay the same? Or will growing up change everything? After the Heartbeats is a story about love that isn't perfect- it's messy, soft, playful, and real. Because sometimes, the most important part isn't how it starts... but what comes after. 💫

"It causes your immune system to turn against you," I explained gently. The color terrifyingly drained from his face as he stared at his knuckles. "I have a spot," he whispered, his voice scraping like glass. "Right here." He let out a strangled noise as the stadium footage buffered. "Riley!" he shrieked, covering his burning face while peering through his fingers at his future self. "Those pants leave absolutely nothing to the imagination!" He went so unnaturally still I thought his heart had stopped beating. His charcoal-stained fingers curled into tight fists. "Fifty," he whispered, scanning the fatal summary on the glowing screen. "I am... I am gone at fifty." What if the only way to save your future was to completely abandon your past? In 1982, Michael Jackson is suffocating. Trapped behind his family's compound gates and drowning under industry pressure, the rising star just wants a life of peace and normalcy. The universe answers-violently ripping him from his timeline and dropping him onto the bedroom rug of Riley, a freelance graphic designer in the year 2025. Stranded forty-three years in the future, Michael must face a world that already knows his tragic history. But Riley fiercely refuses to let that history repeat. She offers him the anonymous, ordinary life he always craved, rebuilding his shattered confidence brick by brick and teaching him the radical concept of self-love. More importantly, she arms him with the ultimate weapon: the brutal truth. She gives him the exact names of the snakes hiding in his 1982 backyard, the upcoming betrayals, and the devastating tragedies he is destined to face. When the universe inevitably pulls him back, Michael is no longer the timid pop star terrified of his shadow. He is a king preparing to claim his throne, knowing exactly how to rewrite music history and what it takes to survive. But armed with the future, changing his fate might cost him the one person who taught him how to live.
