One Night Stand (Endless Fire)

“If being a ‘good girl’ means following every rule in the book, then I’ve probably aced life without even trying.”

My name isLinly, I’m 24, and I grew up in a household where everything had to be in perfect order.The dinner table had to be spotless. Spoons always faced outward. Clothes? Pressed sharp enough to cut paper before leaving the house.

I never skipped class.Never stayed out past 10 PM.Never lied to my parents.And of course... I’ve never had a boyfriend.

Sounds ancient, right?

Some people say I’m“sweet.”Some say I’m“boring.”But I know one thing for sure:There’s nothing remotely exciting about my life.

At least... not until that day.

It was just another ordinary afternoon, me sitting at a café with my close friends,while they gossiped and giggled over love, hookups, and... sex.

The kind of talk that always felt like it came from a different universe.

“Wait—you’ve seriously never?”Praew, my best friend, laughed like I’d just told the punchline of a joke.“No kiss? No hand-holding with butterflies? Girl, come on! Life is short—you gotta trysomething.”

I only smiled and shook my head.A simple answer.One that looked casual from the outside.

But inside...Something had started whispering.

Quiet at first—Like water dripping in a dark room.Soft but persistent.

“What if I reallyammissing something?”

It wasn’t just about love.It was aboutliving.Really living.Not just surviving.

And then it happened.

A night I hadn’t planned.No checklist.No overthinking.

Just a sudden, reckless desire to feel alive—To bethat kind of woman,Even if just once.

And then... he walked in.Like a storm.

So devastatingly handsome he made the world blur.So dangerous it made my heart skip.

Back then I thought,“Just one night. That’s all.”

But life isn’t neat.Desire doesn’t follow scripts.And once a fire’s been lit...

...who can stop it from burning?
