16 parts Ongoing There is a girl who has always known the weight of loneliness. Surrounded by people, yet never truly seen, she moves quietly through the world as if she were invisible. No one asks how she feels, no one notices the storm she hides behind her smile. Her presence is taken for granted, her heart overlooked, as though her worth is something small and easily forgotten. Each day becomes a repetition of silence-her voice unheard, her emotions dismissed, her soul yearning for someone to simply care.
But everything begins to change the day she meets him. He doesn't just look at her; he sees her. He notices the sadness behind her eyes, the way her laughter carries both hope and sorrow, the way she tries to hold herself together even when she is breaking inside. For the first time, she feels what it is like to matter, to be valued, to be cherished.
In him, she finds more than companionship-she finds light where there was once only shadow, warmth where there was only cold. And for the first time in her life, she begins to believe that maybe she was never meant to remain invisible after all.
