Five years ago, Pond Naravit walked away from the love of his life without looking back.
Back then, Pond was ambitious, reckless, and terrified of choosing love over certainty. Phuwin Tangsakyuen-gentle yet quietly strong-was the one who paid the price when unspoken fears, bad timing, and a single irreversible decision tore them apart. They promised to never meet again, believing distance would make the pain easier to bear.
 It didn't.
 Now in their mid-twenties, fate brings them together once more under circumstances neither expected. Pond is a rising creative director returning to Bangkok for a career-defining project. Phuwin is a literature editor living a quieter life, one carefully built to hide the scars Pond left behind. Their reunion is accidental, awkward, and heavy with everything they never said.
 Old feelings resurface in stolen glances, unfinished sentences, and the familiar comfort that still lingers between them. But they are no longer the same people they once were. Phuwin has learned how to protect his heart. Pond carries regret like a second skin-and this time, he knows exactly what he lost.
 As they are forced to work within the same circle and confront shared memories, both must decide: is love worth risking a second heartbreak? Or are some stories better left unfinished?


Kavya Patel walked away from it all-fame, fortune, family, a life meticulously built on choices she now regrets. She sought refuge in the quiet streets of Nashik, trading glamour for simplicity, and heartache for the fragile hope of forgiveness. As a schoolteacher, she begins to rebuild her life, one small act of courage at a time, burying the past where no one can see it... or so she thinks. Then Vihaan Draakshekar appears-magnetic, unpredictable, and unbearably alive. Commitment is a foreign concept to him, yet something about Kavya unsettles him, igniting a fire he never expected and desires he's never allowed himself to feel. Haunted by mistakes, both carrying secrets they dare not reveal, Kavya and Vihaan are drawn together in a collision of passion, vulnerability, and the lingering shadows of guilt. But in a world where trust is fragile and love feels impossible, can two hearts broken by regret find a way to heal... or will their pasts tear them apart forever?

A man who questions marriage, but chooses to stay. A woman who has seen its wreckage, yet still believes in its possibility.

Deja Washington, a 32-year-old Black woman and established book editor at a prestigious New York publishing house, has sworn off Valentine's Day after a string of disappointing relationships that always seem to fizzle out just when things get serious. When she's assigned to work with Takeshi Yamamoto, a 35-year-old Japanese-American literary translator known for his meticulous perfectionism and emotional reserve, their professional collaboration begins with immediate friction-her spontaneous editing style clashes violently with his methodical approach to preserving authorial intent. As they're forced to work together on an urgent project translating and editing a controversial manuscript over the two weeks leading up to Valentine's Day, their constant arguments slowly reveal the deep wounds and fears they both carry: Deja's abandonment issues from a father who left when she was young and a pattern of choosing emotionally unavailable men, and Takeshi's struggle with vulnerability after a broken engagement three years ago left him convinced he's incapable of meeting anyone's emotional needs. The story unfolds across intimate late-night editing sessions in Takeshi's cramped Brooklyn apartment, tense meetings in Deja's corner office overlooking Manhattan, and stolen moments in the rare bookshops and quiet corners of the city they both love, as they navigate professional respect bleeding into genuine friendship, and friendship igniting into something neither of them planned for but both desperately need-if only they can overcome their fears long enough to let each other in.

Novel Introduction Ten years later, when they met again, Zhu Xu was married. His family was pressing him about marriage, sending people to drop hints: "You've been single for several years now. You ought to start dating someone again." Ho Yan Chau joked: "Date whom? Become a homewrecker?" Well then, he's clearly got his eye on a married woman. Less than six months later, Zhu Xu divorced. That person was delighted for him: "Mr Ho, you've got a chance now. You must seize the opportunity!" Ho Yan Chau was in good spirits: "Mind your own business."Content Warnings: Happy Ending (HE) / Both characters are not virgins Female lead is divorced; both are mature adults with romantic experience Male lead's character is rather perfect, whilst the female lead's is the opposite. (Since there's no virgin plot, I don't consider their respective romantic histories to be flaws. The above refers to their attitudes and behaviour towards each other in this relationship.) The female lead's marriage to her ex-husband lasted one year. The ex-husband was domestically abusive. After the second incident of domestic violence, the female lead sought divorce but couldn't escape. When the third incident occurred-which is where our story begins-the female lead rescued herself and left the abusive man, rather than relying on the male lead's help. (The text contains domestic violence scenes.) During these ten years, he never deliberately waited for her, nor did he meet anyone he particularly fancied.

Not all love stories begin with a spark. Some begin with silence. In a town untouched by time, two strangers cross paths - not to change each other, but to remember themselves. This is not a story of loud love. It's a story of what lingers in pauses, what grows in stillness, and what's felt before it's said. If you've ever loved quietly - or been loved by someone who understood your silence - this story might find you.
