Some connections don’t arrive as love.
They arrive as silence, as familiarity, as something that feels like staying.

In an alternate universe, two people cross paths when neither of them is looking for anything more.
They aren’t strangers, but they aren’t lovers either — just two souls learning how to exist in the same quiet.

Jungkook is distant, guarded, and carrying things he never speaks about.
She isn’t broken — just tired of pretending she’s fine.

Between late conversations, shared pauses, and unspoken understanding, a slow bond begins to form.
No promises. No rush.
Only moments that linger longer than they should.

This is a slow-burn story about emotional closeness, healing, and the kind of connection that grows not through touch, but through presence.

Sometimes, love doesn’t begin with a confession.
Sometimes, it begins with eyes that stay.

This is my first fanfiction, and I'm a little nervous but excited to share it.


This story is a fan-made fictional work set in an alternate universe.


The characters are inspired by real people, but the story, events, and personalities are purely imaginary.


This is a slow-burn story — feelings grow quietly, not instantly.


There is more silence than noise, more meaning than rush.


I'm still learning, still growing, and writing from a very honest place.


So if you're here, thank you for giving this story your time and patience.


And I hope something here stays with you.
