Emma was the perfect daughter on paper — the obedient topper who never said no. But every night, she cried herself to sleep.
Ethan was the cheerful orphan boy with a familiar scent of old books and mango toffees. He made everyone laugh, but hid a dark secret behind his smile.
When 12-year-old Emma was sent to the countryside, she met Ethan. His scent felt familiar, like she had known him in another life. On a thunderous night, she found him shivering alone in the dark. She held him, and he promised her 10 toffees for 10 wishes.
Then he disappeared without a word.
She thought he forgot everything. She was wrong.
Eight years later, he's back — taller, colder, and her nightmare classmate in high school. He steals her noodles, calls her detention girl, and acts like they never shared that rainy night.
But why does he still keep her first photo? Why does he panic when it thunders? And why does his scent still feel like home?
He forgot everything, but not her name.
A sweet, slow-burn campus romance about childhood promises, hidden scars, and a love that was always familiar.
