Cookie… a woman who left everything behind in Thailand.
She arrived in Taipei with a broken heart and a fragile dream of starting over, carrying wounds she could never put into words.
Her Room 411… right next to Room 412, his.
Kirin — tall, striking, half-Taiwanese and half-Canadian.
The Head of AI Development at the world-renowned company Lumetra.
A man forged by pressure, wrapped in coldness, and unwilling to let anyone close.
One night, the sound of muffled sobs through the wall reached him.
And then he saw her — the woman on the balcony.
She was not just “the new neighbor.”
She was someone he wanted to protect, someone he longed to know… someone he couldn’t look away from.
In a city that never sleeps, fate places them side by side.
And what begins as silence and distance slowly turns into an undeniable pull neither of them can resist.
