💫 Story Description:

> Auren—known simply as Ren—is the kind of boy who prefers the quiet: headphones in, eyes down, heart guarded. He doesn’t speak much. Doesn’t open up easily. He studies literature, works part-time at a small café, and lives life gently… like someone who’s never really been seen.

Until he meets Elric—Ric.

A boy with a camera always slung over his shoulder, a soft smile that lingers too long, and a gaze that makes Ren feel like he matters.

They’re classmates. Strangers. And then, something more.

There’s no destiny. No magical pull. Just a quiet connection that builds through rainy days, group projects, shared coffees, and silent walks home.

As Ric slowly draws Ren out of his quiet world, Ren starts to feel something new: safety. Warmth. Home.

Born to Be Yours is a slow-burn Thai BL love story full of soft stares, real friendships, found family, and the kind of love that doesn’t rush… because it already knows where it belongs.
