Softangst Stories

Aisha and Dev have history. She once confessed, he once refused... and now, years later, life seems determined to bring them back together.

Will they keep it professional... or let sparks fly where no one's watching?

Sharper with the world. And never invisible again.

Sometimes, life brings someone into your world for just a moment. Not long enough to ask their name, not long enough to speak. Just long enough to remember. Tod saw Time on a quiet evening in Sydney. Only for a few seconds. But that was enough to fall in love. Years later, fate brings them together again in Bangkok - this time under the same roof, in the same apartment, as room partners. For Time, it is just a coincidence. For Tod, it is a silent battle. This is a story of one-sided, forbidden love - where Tod loves without saying it, stays close while keeping his distance, and carries feelings meant to be hidden. A slow-burn romance filled with gentle moments, quiet pain, and emotions spoken only through silence. Some loves are not meant to be claimed - only felt. #pic credit goes to real owner

As old friendships blur into something deeper, Rose is forced to confront the one truth she's been avoiding: some loves don't fade-they wait.

Aria is the kind of person who gets quiet when there's no one else around - because that's when her feelings swell the loudest. She and Leo are close, ordinary in ways that make their friendship feel like home, until Leo starts talking about someone else, and Aria must decide whether to confess, hide, or change. Her confession doesn't land how she hopes, and heartbreak forces her into a year of stumbling, music, new friends, and small victories. As both of them grow, missed chances become lessons; Leo learns to name what he feels, and Aria relearns how to trust the world - and herself. In the end, they arrive at each other honestly, not by magic but by steady, awkward, sincere truth. {I based this on the song by Laufey: From the Start} Hope You All Enjoy It!!

Leo is nineteen, Russian, and trying to get through college one ordinary day at a time. He lives with his older brother, Konstantin, in a small apartment that feels more like survival than home.

And slowly, it becomes clear-this isn't a story about falling in love. It's about everything they never let themselves say. Guys this is just a random story because well I yearn for someone to love me and I'm lonely also I don't know what I'm doing and I'm doing this like at 4 am

Because some stories aren't meant to be understood early. They're meant to unfold. Hona hi tha pyaar.
