Unlikelyconnection Stories

Updates every other Sunday. Next chapter: October 19th. This is a space for those who live in the gap. We support the voices of Asian Americans, and we want their stories to be truly heard. We understand how hard you've fought to be seen, to belong, to be more than a punchline. We're not here to judge you. We're not here to divide. We've been cheering you on from across the ocean-those of us still living on this side. But we also ask, with hope: When you say "I'm Asian," do you remember the ones who never left? The stories that were never translated, the voices that were never heard. The ones you still look like-but no longer feel connected to. We're not trying to speak over you. We're simply speaking-from this side of the ocean.

As you nervously look around, a figure appears - Mikha, the school's volleyball star. But when Mikha spots you, her focus shifts, and you realize something's different. Could it be more than just a glance on the court?

On the first day of school, Nayla entered the wrong class and was curious. But who would have thought, from that one punishment room, an unexpected feeling would grow. Ray is not just a troublemaker. He has a hidden side that Nayla slowly gets to know. And maybe, Nayla is the one who can save her from all the world's judgments. Detention, which was initially a curse, turned into sitting next to Ray - the most famous bad boy of his class. Instead of getting a warm welcome, she was punished with detention with the most annoying guy... and made it the most meaningful place. Because that's where they fell in love - in silence, in laughter, and in punishment.

We Were Just Boys We didn't know what love was. Not really. Not when it started. We just knew how it felt: Like skipping heartbeats in the hallway. Like forgetting your name when she says hi. Like staring at a screen, rewriting a message you'll never send. This isn't the story of perfect romances. This is the story of the awkward beginnings. The silent crushes. The stupid mistakes. The nervous laughs and accidental hand-holding that felt like the world exploded. We were just boys. Trying to make sense of feelings we didn't understand. In this room-years later-we came together. And we talked about it. The real stories. The ones we never told out loud. And now... we're telling them.
