Micah's life had been defined by tragedy since childhood, with every person close to him meeting an untimely demise. This string of losses led to the widespread belief in the "Micah Effect," a supposed curse that doomed those around him. To protect others, Micah built walls around himself, becoming cold and isolated, and feared relationships, believing his love would seal someone's fate.

At 17, Micah's life took an unexpected turn. A mysterious and attractive stranger appeared, and despite Micah's warnings, he stayed. For the first time, someone remained alive and unharmed, and Micah began to feel a sense of belonging and contentment. However, his heart remained uneasy, filled with a mix of emotions.

Everything shattered when the person he secretly longed had confessed his love. Micah's fear resurfaced, and he pleaded with the boy to retract his words, hoping to avoid another tragedy. "Take it back," Micah whispered, his voice trembling with fear, his eyes brimming with desperation. The boy’s face, yours, contorted in shock and confusion, "What?" You mumbled confused and hurt. “Say you were trying to make me laugh, then nothing has to change today.” Micah’s voice broke with his aching heart, and his once-fluttering heart now felt heavy with foreboding. "You didn't mean to say I love you."

this pivotal moment forced Micah to confront his deepest fears and consider the true nature of the "Micah Effect." Would he continue his isolation or risk everything for love? The stranger's presence had awakened emotions Micah thought were long buried, and now he must navigate this uncharted territory, uncertain of the outcome.
