The Promises We Couldn't Keep

Three months.

That was all it took for everything to change.
When Gao Tu returns after disappearing without a single explanation, the group of friends who once shared everything is forced to confront a silence no one knows how to break. He smiles when expected, speaks only when necessary, and acts as though the past no longer exists.
Everyone wants answers.

He gives them none.

Especially not to Shen Wenlang.

Once inseparable, they now stand on opposite sides of every room, avoiding the conversations they should have had long ago. Between them lies one summer, one secret, and one mistake that neither of them is willing to name.

But the past has a cruel habit of refusing to stay buried.

As old promises begin to unravel and hidden truths threaten to surface, every choice pulls them closer to an ending no one can outrun.
Because sometimes the deepest wounds aren't left by enemies.

They're left by the people you loved enough to trust with your heart.
