East Coast, Almost

Seven arrives in Singapore believing he understands loneliness.

Raised in Boston by a loving family and carrying only fragments of his late fathers stories about the country, he enters university searching for identity, belonging, and a version of himself that finally feels complete.

Then he meets Daven.

A national track athlete and medical scholar from one of Singapores most elite families, Daven seems to have everything: discipline, beauty, ambition, control. But beneath the polished surface lives a boy shaped by fear, silence, and expectations he was never allowed to escape.

What begins through ordinary moments — late-night study sessions, hawker food beneath fluorescent lights, quiet walks along East Coast Park, and a fleeting freedom in Tokyo — slowly becomes something neither of them knows how to survive.

Because loving someone is easy.

Choosing them is harder.

And when Seven realizes Daven can only love him privately, he is forced to confront the one thing he promised himself he would never lose again:

himself.
