You were never the kind of person people noticed. You worked, came home, kept your head down, and disappeared behind your bedroom door. It was easier that way. No questions. No explanations. No one getting close enough to see what you kept buried. Then your house suddenly became a revolving door of strangers, laughter, late nights, and people you never asked for. Including Jae. He doesn’t know anything about you. Not your story. Not your secrets. Not why you barely speak. But he notices. He notices when you come home exhausted. He notices when you’re pretending you’re fine. He notices every little thing you wish people would overlook. And the more you try to disappear… The harder it becomes for him to look away. You never planned on falling for anyone. Neither did he. But sometimes love doesn’t arrive loudly. Sometimes it starts with a glance across a crowded room. And sometimes the person who sees you when you’re trying hardest to disappear becomes the one person you can’t hide from.
