Love Me Slowly - Translation

All credits go to @lluvvthe

Ahyeon always believed in love - until she experienced one that destroyed her.

Her relationship with a seemingly perfect boy turned into a trap: small manipulations, broken promises, words that hurt more than silence. When she finally manages to leave, all that remains is emptiness.

No one is real.

No one stays.

No one loves without hurting.

She returns to boarding school with tired eyes, few words, and the certainty that she will never open up to anyone again.

But there's Chiquita. Her childhood best friend.

The girl who grew up with her, who knows every version of Ahyeon-the one who dreamed, the one who cried for no reason, the one who laughed too loudly, and now, the one who no longer believes in anything.

Chiquita was always there.

And she always felt more than she could say out loud.

She loved Ahyeon when they were just kids throwing pillows at each other.

She loved it when Ahyeon told her about her first kiss.

She loved silently while watching her relationship with that guy worsen each week.

She loved her even when Ahyeon no longer loved herself.

Now, Chiquita decides she's not going to wait any longer.

She will show that love can be patience.

That touch can be soft.

Being in love isn't about grand declarations, but about remembering her favorite blanket on bad nights.

About staying silent just so Ahyeon isn't alone.

About smiling when Ahyeon can't.

About making her feel - gradually, without pressure, without demands - that love still exists.

Even though, at first, Ahyeon only sees shadows.

Even though Chiquita is terrified of never having her feelings reciprocated.

Because, deep down, what Chiquita wants most...

It's that one day, Ahyeon will look at her

and finally see

what love is.
