Part 4: “When Morning Comes"
Dernière mise à jour:
2025-07-12 00:47:33Let's dive into Part 4, —the story continues with morning light, new feelings, and the moment where fantasy meets reality. The spark between Yam and Franc is still alive, but now they’ll have to face what comes after the night that changed everything
I didn’t remember falling asleep. One moment Franc and I were sharing silence—the kind that says more than words. The next, I woke up to a soft stream of morning light trickling through my window like it was shy about being noticed.
My back ached slightly, thanks to my old mattress and a night spent curled into myself. I blinked, adjusting to the light. Then I saw him.
Franc was still there.
He was sitting upright now, shirt wrinkled, hair tousled in that unfairly sexy way. Eyes focused on something outside my window—as if the skyline held answers to questions he hadn’t dared ask yet.
“You’re still here,” I said, voice hoarse from sleep.
He turned, and his lips lifted just slightly. “Did you think I’d leave before the fan stopped spinning?”
I snorted. “That fan spins through typhoons, don’t test its loyalty.”
He chuckled and leaned back, cracking his neck like someone who’d slept on concrete.
“Thanks for last night,” he said softly.
“For the candy, the bed, or the rescue?”
“All of it,” he replied.
I got up and made us coffee—cheap instant stuff, but at least it gave our mouths something to do that wasn’t flirting. He watched me move like he was memorizing it.
We sat together again, mugs warm in our hands.
“What now?” I asked, surprising myself with how serious I sounded.
Franc didn’t answer right away. He just stared into the steam of his coffee like it was a crystal ball.
“You really wanna know?” he asked eventually.
“Yup.”
“I don’t know where I’m going next,” he admitted. “I wasn’t planning any of this.”
I nodded. “Neither was I.”
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a crumpled receipt, scribbled with something that looked like a phone number.
“This is all I had when I woke up,” he said, offering it to me. “I think it’s from the bar I blacked out at.”
I took it, squinting. “The handwriting looks drunk.”
He laughed. “So does my life.”
There was a pause.
“I don’t want to go yet,” he added. “But I probably should.”
That hit harder than expected.
“Why?” I asked.
“Because people like me don’t stay,” he said. “We drift. We crash into weird nights and kind strangers and leave before the real stuff starts.”
“Or maybe you just haven't met someone who asked you to stay,” I replied.
Franc looked at me.
Slowly. Carefully.
“I met you.”
Silence again. But this one wasn’t thick—it was soft. Like a blanket.
“You still want me to stay?” he asked.
I didn’t blink. “Yup.”
His gaze lingered.
Then he stood, took his mug, and walked to the window.
“What if I mess everything up?” he asked.
“Then we clean it,” I said. “You’ve already survived being hung upside-down like a human ornament. I think you can survive whatever this is.”
Franc turned.
Walked over.
Sat beside me again.
“Yam,” he said.
“Yeah?”
“If I stay... can we start over? Like, actually know each other—not just share candy and flirting?”
“I want that,” I said.
He smiled. A real one. No charm, no smirk. Just... warmth.
“Then I’ll stay,” he whispered.
And just like that, the morning stopped being just another Tuesday.
It became the beginning.
Of something neither of us could name yet.
✨ Want to keep going with Part 5 next? We can explore what Yam and Franc discover about each other, how they navigate real connection, and whether fate’s yamot gives them a break—or throws them a new twist. Ready when you are 🌻

letters that staved Final Chapter: “The Studio That Learned to Listen”
Absolutely,. Let’s bring this story to its final breath—not with closure, but with continuation. The studio doesn’t end. It transforms. And everyone who touched it leaves changed.The wall was full.Not crowded.Full.Every inch held a truth—painted, screamed, whispered, burned. Layers of color, fragments of pasted paper, and the faint scent of smoke all seemed to hum like a living thing. Each mark was a heartbeat, each scratch a memory. The studio air was heavy with that silent chorus.Jo stood before it one last time. The floorboards creaked under her weight, and for a moment, she imagined the wall inhaling and exhaling with her. She didn’t add anything. Her pockets were empty. Her brush, dry. She just placed her hand on the wall and said:“You held us.Now we let you rest.”Her voice trembled, not with fear, but with the weight of gratitude and release.Franc worked quietly in the corner, his hands white with dust. His final piece lay on the worktable: a hollow frame. No canvas str
letters that staved Chapter 105: “The Archive of Unrefined Truths"
🌧️ Chapter 105 opens with a shift in the studio’s gravity. The wall Jo and Franc painted has become more than art—it’s a mirror. And people are starting to see themselves in it. Ren added a new section to the studio’s archive:Unrefined TruthsIt wasn’t curated.It was collected.Visitors were invited to leave a sound, a sentence, a smear of color.No names.No edits.Just truth.The studio, once a haven for polished art and refined aesthetics, had transformed into a space where raw emotions and unfiltered expressions found a home. The walls, once pristine and white, now bore the marks of countless visitors who had come to share their truths. Each mark was a testament to the human experience, a glimpse into the depths of the soul that often remained hidden beneath layers of societal expectations and personal insecurities.Jo and Franc began a series of pieces—each one raw, unfinished, and deliberately unpolished. Their work was a reflection of the studio’s new ethos, a celebration
letters that staved Chapter 104: “The Wall That Held What We Couldn’t Say Gently”
🌒 Now unfolding Chapter 104—this one carries the weight of expression that’s no longer quiet. It’s not violent, but it’s raw. A chapter where Jo and Franc stop holding back—not to hurt, but to finally let the ache speak in full color. Jo stood in front of the studio’s west wall—blank, untouched, avoided. For months, even years perhaps, the wall had waited for something that never arrived, a promise of “later” thrown like an empty seed into the air. Today, she decided that later had run out. Her chest felt tight, the kind of weight that had lingered too long. Her palms itched as if the wall itself was calling her name.She didn’t reach for a pencil or a sketchbook. There was no plan, no outline, no composition. Plan had always been the shield, the polite mask. Instead, she dipped her hands into pigment and hurled it forward. Ochre hit the wood like a sun breaking open. Charcoal streaked down in jagged tears. Rust smeared like dried blood across the pale expanse.The first splatter e
letters that staved Part 103: “The Breath That Didn’t Heal, But Kept Me Company”
🌧️ Entering Part 103—this one doesn’t rise like hope. It sits like weariness. But even worn stories have a pulse, and we follow it, gently. This chapter doesn’t resolve; it remembers what it feels like to carry weight without applause.Jo didn’t reach for her sketchbook that day.Instead, she wrote on the studio’s wall with chalk—words that faded even as she traced them. Her hand trembled slightly, not from fear, but from the quiet exhaustion that had been building like sediment in her chest.“I’m tired of pretending softness always arrives gracefully.”The chalk squeaked against the wall when she finished the last letter. There was a pause, a hollow in the room that hummed with evening light. Dust motes hung in the air, catching the sparse sun slipping through the high windows.Franc entered the studio hours later. He always moved quietly, as if not to disturb the air. He stopped in front of the chalk words, his shadow stretching long across the concrete. He didn’t reply. He simply
letters that staved Part 102: “The Studio Didn’t Fix Me. But It Let Me Keep Falling Slowly”
🪵 Stepping quietly into Part 102—this one carries not answers, but weight. The kind that presses gently on a heart and asks, “Will you stay even when it’s heavy?” It’s about hardship, not as a chapter to escape, but one to sit beside until it softens.Jo hadn’t painted in three days.Her brushes stayed wrapped, the pigments untouched. Not out of anger. Out of sheer depletion. She woke each morning and stared at the ceiling, tracing the cracks along the plaster and following the shifting patterns of light as the sun inched across the windowpane. Her fingers twitched, as if remembering the rhythm of work, but the spark that usually followed never came. She wondered, as she did each day, if trying again would count as growth—or if it was just persistence without meaning.Franc noticed.But he didn’t ask.He brought bread and left it on the table, the scent warm and comforting, filling the room with the soft promise of care. Jo didn’t eat it. But she folded the cloth it was wrapped in—fo
letters that staved Part 101: “Where the Paint Didn’t Cover Everything”
🌧️Struggle and hardship don’t weaken this story—they give it grounding, a texture that makes every soft moment even more earned. It doesn't have to be dramatic or loud. It can show up in small ways: creative doubt, emotional exhaustion, the ache of misunderstanding, or the weight of choosing to remain after pain.Jo sat beside her linen canvas, fingers stained with pigment and memory. The painting she tried to finish refused to hold color the way it used to. Each stroke felt heavier, like her hands remembered more than they could release. The studio smelled of rain and turpentine, familiar scents that now pressed against her chest instead of comforting her. She watched the colors bleed into one another, failing to hold the sharp edges she once commanded, and for a moment, she wondered if the canvas itself was tired of being asked to hold her heart.Outside, rain drummed against the tall windows in uneven rhythms, echoing her own hesitations. The water trailed down in slow rivers, dis
