Ryujin has always been convinced Yeji is hiding something, even if everyone laughs it off as a crush. But one wrong turn puts Anna exactly where she shouldn't be. Suddenly, her suspicions don't feel so crazy anymore. Now she's stuck far too close to Yeji, in a world she doesn't understand and can't escape. Yeji has spent years keeping her life controlled, untouchable, and far out of reach from people like Ryujin. But when Ryujin stumbles into something she was never meant to see, Yeji is forced to deal with the one person who refuses to be intimidated by her. Ryujin is reckless, frustrating-and somehow impossible to push away.

Ryujin has spent three years living in the shadow of a loss she can't escape. Raised in a strict Catholic household, she grew up being told that love like hers was wrong-something to hide, something to pray away. But her older sister, Minjeong, couldn't hide it. And when the weight of rejection became too much, it took her away for good. Now, Ryujin is left with a question that haunts her every day: If heaven exists... will Minjeong be there? And if she is... will Ryujin ever be allowed to see her again? Because if loving who she loves is a sin, then what does that make her future? When Ryujin meets Yeji-warm, confident, and impossibly patient-something begins to shift. For the first time, Ryujin feels seen... not judged, not broken, not wrong. Just seen. But love isn't simple when it's tangled in grief, fear, and years of being told you don't belong. As memories of Minjeong resurface through quiet flashbacks and unspoken pain, Ryujin finds herself torn between what she was taught to believe... and what her heart is desperately trying to hold onto. With Yuna-her younger sister-trying to keep her grounded, and friends who slowly become family, Ryujin is faced with the hardest truth of all: Maybe the real question isn't whether heaven will accept her... Story inspired by Gigi Perez's song "Fable". Top: Yeji Bottom: Ryujin ...but whether she can learn to accept herself first.

Someone couldn't possibly fall for their boss. Not when she's so ruthless and cold. Not when there's so much to know about her, but at a great cost. Not when it's in everyone else's best interest to not get involved with her. But why is her love a venom she can't refuse? Ryujin Shin had always been in charge of her own life. Even with overbearing parents, she found ways to wrap them around her finger. Control was her thing and she thought she was happy that way. But why was it she loves the hardest when she let's go and lets her boss take total control? In her car, her office, at her house, surely this would hurt them both. But this venom in particular is addictive and undeniably sweet.
