Bang Chan

Title: Strength in the Heart [Inspired by My love will Remain by josh makazoo] Bang Chan had never known luxury. His life was a collection of patched-up clothes, worn-out shoes, and dreams too fragile to speak aloud.

While others might dream of soft romances, she dismissed the very idea with a scoff. “Love?” she would say, her voice like steel cutting through the air. “Love means weakness.” It wasn’t just a phrase to her it was a shield.

She walked through the world untamed, her chin high, her smirk daring anyone to challenge her authority. And yet, against every rule she set for herself, her heart betrayed her. Because somewhere between Chan’s gentle persistence and his unfailing respect, she found herself faltering. His patience cracked the armor she swore was unbreakable...
