A freelance photographer with a talent for capturing moments she never keeps, Talia arrives in Korea carrying a loss she refuses to name, and a new rule she never breaks: don't stay long enough to matter. What begins as a chance encounter, then a job she never planned to accept, pulls her into the orbit of eight men who see her in ways she's learned to avoid. They don't ask her to choose. They don't ask her to promise. They only ask her to stay. But when grief resurfaces and the instinct to run returns, Talia must decide whether love is something she can finally step into, or something she will always leave behind. What It Means to Stay is a slow-burn, emotionally intimate romance about grief, found family, and the courage it takes to remain. ------------- I do not own the rights to anything related to Stray Kids.

Daphne Evans, a thirteen year old girl. On the outside, she's just an ordinary girl but in reality that's not true. At the age of nine, she watched her mother die and then she was dragged to Camp Halfblood by a satyr. She's a demigod. That's what they told her. The Greek gods were real; she had to believe and embrace that. For Daphne Evans had no choice.
