**𝙰𝚄𝚃𝙷𝙾𝚁'𝚂 𝙽𝙾𝚃𝙴**

Hi everyone! I'm Sikhu and total weirdo from South Africa. This is my first book I've attempted to publish and it's feels surreal.

This book is a homosexual book. A girlxgirl novel and if you are against homosexuals, I'd appreciate it if you don't read the book at all. Oh! And uhm if you're sensitive to self harm and really grotesque visuals, you should not read this as well.

I've never written an angst romance before and I would really appreciate it if you guys like don't criticise me that much.

(I talk a lot when I'm really nervous. In this case, I'm writing a lot of bullsh*t)

I'll give a character summary of each of my main characters and before I introduce you to them, I'm want to clear a few things...

This book is interracial between a black South African and South Korean.

*Both of my characters suffer from some mental illness

*Both of my characters have traumatic pasts and they are strong in their own ways and it's just them trying to open up and actually accept help.

So uhm now that's done, here are my characters:

Ahn Han-eun:

Parent's are from South Korea but moved to South Africa before Han-eun and was born, they moved with her oldest sibling.

Parent's:
Father: Ahn Sunho
Mother: Han Sol

Han-eun is the middle child.

Younger sister:  Ahn Dal-ha

Wanda Sykes (beginning of high school)

Sexuality: Bisexual/ Lesbian

Age: 18 years

Brief background:

Han-eun lives in a modern but traditional family. Both her parents are together (barely). Her older brother has moved out. Her father is an emotional abuser and her mother turns a blind eye to all the abuse. Her parents, father especially, has great demands from all his children and after Han-eun comes out as homosexual at age 13, her father molests her— from that day onwards until she was 16 years after Ahn Dal-ha sees him do so. Dal-ha is mute and therefore she cannot even speak out about Han-eun's abuse.
