Some stories begin with a gunshot.
Others begin with a kiss.
This one begins with a printer that refuses to cooperate.
Inside The Link, a high-rise in the heart of Chicago, hundreds of people pass each other every single day without ever really looking up.
In the basement, Faye Malisorn quietly fixes everything everyone else depends on. She prefers tools over small talk, wears old jeans instead of business suits, and shares her workdays with Oscar, a giant Bernese Mountain Dog convinced that every stranger is already his friend - they just don't know it yet.
Eight floors above, Yoko Apasra spends her days designing beautiful things, drinking far too much vanilla latte, and trying to convince herself that deadlines aren't actually stressful.
They've worked in the same building for months.
They've just never truly noticed each other.
Until one ordinary Tuesday.
The Floors Between Us is a slow-burn office romance about quiet moments, gentle people, unexpected friendships, office gossip, awkward elevator rides, rooftop coffee breaks, and discovering that sometimes the most important person in your life has been just a few floors away all along.
If you're looking for explosions, villains, or high-stakes action...
...you won't find them here.
But if you're looking for a story that feels like coming home...
Welcome to The Link.

(This is purely my imagination, nothing of it has anything to do with reality. This is a world I created around Faye and Yoko.) 🌻🦋

"I thought I'd come back to love you. But every part of me now screams to destroy you, Park." "And you know what hurts the most?"

Forward | Rewind to Tomorrow [Michael Jackson]
"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.
