Y/n is a shy college girl whose first real love ended in heartbreak after a two-year relationship fell apart. When she returns for her third year, she looks a little different—longer dark brown hair, small piercings (belly piercing and two ear piercings in both ears ), and a quiet confidence she didn’t have before. Still, beneath the change, she’s the same gentle, reserved girl, carrying scars from a love that taught her how deeply she can feel. Mattheo, the popular guy everyone seems to notice, sees something in Y/n that goes beyond her appearance. Drawn to her calm presence and mystery, he tries to get closer, even when Y/n keeps her walls up. As their paths keep crossing on campus, the two slowly learn to trust, heal, and open their hearts, discovering love in a way that feels patient, safe, and real.
