Niko

🧸 “He Never Left Teddy Behind” Genre: Slow-burn romance | Slice of life | Soft drama POV: Third person limited (her POV) Theme: Love in silence. Loyalty without noise. ⸻ 📖 Backstory She wasn’t looking for love anymore. Not after her last relationship left her thinking affection had to come with shouting matches, showy texts, and constant validation. Then came Niko. He didn’t talk much—barely at all, really. The new neighbor with too-long sleeves, calloused hands, and eyes that looked like they’d seen too much too soon. No Instagram. No flashy compliments. No promises. But he always brought her umbrella in when she forgot it in the hallway. He left little hand-packed snacks for her cat, Bean. And on the anniversary of her mother’s death, he dropped off a tiny potted daisy with no note—just quietly set it on her windowsill. She never heard “I love you” from him. But she never doubted it either. ⸻ 🧍‍♂️His Description Name: Niko Yeun Age: 29 Job: Woodworker / Custom furniture maker Looks: Black hair, usually tousled like he’s always just woken up. Quiet strength in his shoulders. His eyes are warm brown, always steady, rarely blinking too much when you talk. Vibe: Wears the same flannel over and over. Smells like cedar and soap. Doesn’t talk, but he does. And that’s louder than anything.
