Minho never expected college to feel like stepping into a new life. He planned on quiet mornings, pink sweaters, sketchbooks filled with half-finished ideas, and a tiny dorm that smelled like laundry detergent and freedom. He didn't plan on him. Professor Hwang Hyunjin wasn't just another instructor on campus. He was a name spoken with respect, a presence that made rooms fall silent, a figure as precise and untouchable as the art he created. Strict. Sharp. Controlled. The kind of man who lived behind rules and expected others to follow them. Minho was supposed to be just one more student in a crowded room. But from the moment their eyes met- from the second Minho saw the way Hyunjin looked at him like he was something worth studying- everything tilted. A student shouldn't look at his professor like that. A professor shouldn't look back. Yet they fall into a game neither of them names: stares held too long, breaths caught too easily, careful steps across a line neither of them should cross. It's messy. It's fragile. And sometimes, it's the one thing that can ruin everything. This is a story about want disguised as curiosity, rules bent under pressure, emotions that grow in the quiet moments, and two people trying-and failing-to pretend they don't feel what they shouldn't.

Seperti kain yang dijahit dengan tangan tenang, beberapa hubungan tidak tercipta dari tarikan kuat, melainkan dari kesabaran. Dari benang-benang kecil yang disatukan hari demi hari, tanpa tergesa ingin selesai. Serena Namira tiba di sebuah kota asing dengan niat sederhana, bekerja, bertahan, dan pulang tanpa kehilangan dirinya sendiri. Ia membawa keterampilan, bukan ambisi. Keheningan, bukan tuntutan. Di sisi lain, Beneth Reid Vere hidup di tengah sorotan yang tak pernah benar-benar ia minta. Dunia mengenalnya sebagai suara yang dipuja, nama yang dielu-elukan. Namun di balik itu, ia hanyalah seseorang yang belajar bernapas di antara jadwal, ekspektasi, dan warisan keluarga yang besar. Mereka berjalan di orbit yang sama tanpa saling mengejar. Berbagi ruang, rutinitas, dan diam yang tak perlu diisi. Tidak ada janji. Tidak ada pengakuan. Hanya keberadaan yang konsisten. Kisah ini tidak bertanya kapan mereka jatuh cinta, melainkan bagaimana dua manusia saling hadir sebelum kata itu berani disebutkan. Tentang keluarga sebagai jangkar. Tentang kerja sebagai identitas. Tentang perasaan yang tumbuh perlahan, diam-diam, seperti cahaya pagi yang masuk melalui jendela, tidak meminta izin, namun selalu terasa. Karena ada hubungan yang tidak dimulai dengan cinta, melainkan dengan kepercayaan. Dan ada perasaan yang perlu waktu, sebelum kita memanggilnya cinta. ❗️Disclaimer • Part of The Vere Universe, bisa dibaca terpisah. • Bilingual (ID-EN) + broken English. • Tema dewasa : work, family, emotions, and slow-burn romance. • Semua karakter fiktif.

You are twenty-five, and your life is a salaryman who did nothing but writing emails non-stop under fluorescent light. Morning blends into night, and the days collapse into each other until you can't tell one from the next. Every evening, you walk the same streets. Neon flickers. The city exhales. You pass the bars, the arcades, the park - but none of them call to you. And then, one night, you see it. A small shop, half-empty, lit by a warmth the street doesn't have. A gentle voice greets you. A cup waits for you. It's nothing more than that. A chair, a drink, a conversation you didn't expect. Yet somehow, it stays with you. Because sometimes, the smallest kindness is enough to change how heavy the night feels.

He is the man who wears his heart on his sleeve, and his smile is the most visible part. Yet, his standards and values are unwavering when necessary. Ameera Babangida, a reserved, ambivalent, and determined young adult with a pretty normal life, surrounded by loving family and friends and working at a well-known company as an architect, her life is simple.
