💑Healthy Relationship

Bryan had never learned how to mind his own business—especially when it came to Lin. While everyone else chose silence or polite ignorance, Bryan made it a habit to point out the obvious: her boyfriend was a walking disaster. Late-night messages, unwanted updates, and brutally honest remarks—he delivered them all without hesitation. Lin hated it. Hated him, sometimes. But between Levon’s empty promises and Bryan’s relentless truths, one thing became increasingly difficult to ignore—only one of them had ever actually stayed.

Cassian, the university’s golden athlete, had built his reputation on discipline, restraint, and an unshakable loyalty that set him apart from the chaos of campus fame. It had always been enough—until Lin, the only person he had ever loved loudly and without hesitation, chose herself over him and walked away without looking back. No fight, no betrayal—just distance disguised as growth. Cassian could have endured that. What he could not endure was watching her fall into the orbit of Dante, a rival varsity star with a reputation Cassian knew too well. And when that story ended exactly the way he feared—with Lin hurt and Dante walking free—Cassian realized something dangerous: he had never truly learned how to lose, only how to wait for the right moment to take everything back.

Austin, St. Aurelius Medical Center’s most revered and unreachable surgeon, had built his reputation on one unshakable principle—emotion is a liability in a place where hesitation kills. It had always worked, until Lin walked in on her first day, carrying a heartbreak she refused to acknowledge, smiling as if nothing in the world could touch her—and then promptly spilled coffee all over him. No fear, no apology laced with panic, not even the expected trembling awe. Just a bright, disarming apology and a laugh that didn’t quite reach her eyes. Naturally, Austin found that… unsettling—and just like that, ignoring her became less of a habit and more of an impossibility.
