Description
Seulgi prefers silence. She writes her thoughts in the margins of her worn notebook, tunes out the world with music that never stops, and hides behind quiet glances and half-smiles. Alone is easier. Safer. Then Jaeyi crashes into her world-loud, chaotic, paint-streaked, and impossible to ignore. With a skateboard in one hand and a thousand unfiltered thoughts in the other, Jaeyi doesn't ask for space-she just takes it. Including the space beside Seulgi. What begins as an awkward shared bench becomes a quiet unraveling of walls. Jaeyi sees colors in Seulgi's silence, and Seulgi finds rhythm in Jaeyi's mess. But the more they collide, the more Seulgi begins to wonder: What happens when a poet opens her world to a walking whirlwind of art and noise? Can two different expressions find harmony in the same story? Between Strokes and Stanzas is a soft, slow-burn story about connection, creativity, and the delicate magic of letting someone in-one poem, one stare, and one unspoken moment at a time.
