Small town girl Song Hyejin grew up with a pair of scissors in her hand, spending her high school days in her father's barber shop cutting crew cuts for young men who were about to enlist in the army; this was how she was intending to spend the rest of her life. When top star Ares Hwang walks into the shop one rainy day demanding that she give him a haircut even though it's past opening hours, her life gets thrown straight into a raging hurricane known as the world of showbiz. ======== Enter Kang Hyunwon, hairstylist to the celebrities, touted by all the country's fashion magazines as the golden hands that could catapult anyone, literally anyone, from obscurity to stardom. When his limelight gets stolen unceremoniously by the head of hair atop one Ares Hwang (whom he had callously rejected to style just days before), his ego takes a beating that he will never forget. When he finds out who it is who was responsible for his humiliation, he vows to show this clueless suburban girl what it truly means to be hair-raisingly good with a pair of scissors... ======== Cover adapted from the artwork by @ClarissaNorth

𝓞𝓷𝓮 𝓵𝓮𝓽𝓽𝓮𝓻 𝓬𝓸𝓾𝓵𝓭 𝓬𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓰𝓮 𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓻𝔂𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓰. Rose Jacobs has been unlucky in love and in life. Wracked with grief and loneliness after a tragic accident, Rose has spent the last three years of her life attempting to regain some form of normalcy. Her normalcy? Running a used bookstore owned by her parents, full of classic literature. Romance? What's that? The only romance in her life at the moment includes rereading the fictional romance filled between the pages of her favorite books in the store. Oh, and her beloved golden retriever, Ginger. With the way her life has turned out, she couldn't have predicted the turn of events that would unfold after a box of classic books is brought into her store by a stranger looking to make a quick buck. Finding hidden love letters throughout each book brought in, Rose delves into the world and love life of Jo Rutherford--the books' original owner, who happened to write love letters to her future husband in the 1940s. Feeling lonely, but inspired by the letters, Rose begins her journey of creating her own letters to someone she doesn't believe exists. Nothing could prepare her for the excitement her boring love life was about to get when River Ellison, a handsome, arrogant and persistent man comes into her bookstore only mere hours after writing her first letter. In a journey of self-discovery and growth, Rose maneuvers through the hardships of romance and love while still attempting to piece herself back together after her life was turned upside down three years ago.

Introverted Charlie never expected to gain the attention of Dia, the chatterbox on the train, and he certainly wasn't expecting to fall in love. *** A few words can describe Charlie Jackson. He enjoys the simplicity of a coffee far more than the average person, and devotes too much time to his work - commuting included. But Charlie's life is far more complicated than meets the eye. Hindered by his stammer and the anxiety that occurs as a result, he has become accustomed to letting others use their voices for him. When Dia strolls into work one day, it seems that the universe has its own plans. Charlie instantly recognises her as the chatty woman from the train he takes five days a week. She's different in many ways, and it becomes clear that there's something between them. But the journey to love isn't so smooth sailing, especially when Dia's own battles come to light. Can Charlie fight his demons to support Dia in facing hers, or will his anxiety never allow him to become more than the stranger on the train?
