Content warnings: Includes side couples (GL and BG, but they won't take over the story). Serious tone, slow burn (but I promise it won't disappoint if you stick with it), and a BE (though the extras will include an alternate HE ending).

I'm a new writer, so the writing may be a little rough. Please bear with me. I'm also not very good at writing blurbs, so I hope you'll read the story itself before deciding whether to follow it.

P.S. The whole novel is already written, so don't worry, I won't abandon it.
