I wasn't supposed to be in the story. Not the kind with monsters, gates, or government labs. "This little fairy freak," he said, gesturing toward me like I was something stuck to his shoe. "Always floating around in her weird outfits, acting all sweet and innocent-like she doesn't watch people making out from bathroom cracks like a total psycho." I froze. The air left my lungs. "Steve," Nancy whispered sharply beside him, "it was the girl's bathroom." But he wasn't listening. "She's always staring," he continued. "Like we're all in some sad little movie she made up in her head. Always acting like she's not dying for attention." I was just the girl with too-soft sweaters and panic attacks. The one who watched people fall in love from the sidelines. The one who crushed silently on Steve Harrington while he kissed other girls in haunted high school bathrooms. Then Will Byers went missing. And suddenly I was helping Nancy reload a shotgun. Hiding from the Demogorgon on rooftops. Whispering to Dustin like I was his big sister. Running. Fighting. Surviving. And somewhere in between the broken cameras, the Halloween parties, the Upside Down... Steve started looking at me like I was in the story too.

They're "just friends," but in a world of luxury, fast cars, and power plays, every stolen glance and jealous fight hides something way more dangerous. In Tokyo's elite playground, love and lies blur-and the stakes are as high as their status.

NCT DREAM MARK AU | EX's They say time heals all wounds. But what if some wounds never truly fade? Two years ago, Sowon Kang and Mark Lee were inseparable-a love so fierce it burned them both. But love, when suffocating, can feel like a cage, and heartbreak, when unresolved, can become a ghost that never leaves. Now, fate has thrown them back into each other's lives. Not as lovers, not as enemies-just two people trying to exist in the same space without falling apart. But old habits die hard. Their eyes still search for each other in a crowded room. Their words still find meaning in the silence. And their hearts? They still beat to a rhythm neither of them can forget. As they navigate forced proximity, unspoken regrets, and a longing neither dares to name, one question lingers between them- Is it possible to fix something that was never truly broken, only left unfinished? 🥇#1 NCT 🥇#1 Jeno 🥇#1 Mark 🏅#5 Wayv 🏅#6 Marklee 🏅#13 NCT DREAM

Nishimura Riki and Ryu Sohee. Two names that guaranteed disaster. Next-door neighbors since birth. Childhood rivals by default. The only two people in the entire neighborhood who somehow didn't get along while their families acted like one big happy unit. If anything, their parents adored each other-weekend barbecues, holiday trips, even matching family shirts at reunions. But Niki and Sohee? They were different. What started as stolen crayons and broken sandcastles turned into spitballs in middle school, which then evolved into a full-blown war by high school. Now, in their final year, they were practically the school's most infamous duo-constantly at each other's throats, always five seconds away from a murder attempt. The school's Basketball Team Captain vs. the Cheerleading Team Captain. A never-ending battle of insults, pranks, and power struggles. Teachers had stopped trying to separate them. Students placed bets on their next argument. No one could tell if they truly hated each other or if they were just too stubborn to admit whatever else was brewing beneath the surface. One thing was certain: If Nishimura Riki and Ryu Sohee were in the same room, peace was never an option. --- "Shut up!" "Make me!" "Your wish." Niki yanked her close. She gasped, barely registering when his lips crashed onto hers-hot, demanding, a battle in itself. For a second, she forgot to hate him. Then reality hit. She shoved him away, wiping her lips. "Never again." Niki smirked. "Keep telling yourself that." Game on. (Extended summary inside..) ---- A chaotic love story of two people who are too cool to be normal, too weird to care. ©Xia_Taex ❥ 𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐇 (𝐌𝐘 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄) Will Begin Now <3

Lee Erin lives by one rule: don't fall in love. It's foolproof-until Nishimura Riki, her brother's insufferably charming best friend, makes it his mission to turn her quiet life into his personal comedy show. Stealing her snacks? Check. Teasing her at school? Daily. Smirking at her murder glares? Absolutely. For Ni-ki, annoying Erin is a sport, and her frustration is his trophy. When her meddling mom tries to set her up with the "perfect" but brooding son of a family friend, Erin makes a desperate move-fake-dating Ni-ki. He agrees, but of course, he doesn't make it easy. Between staged hand-holding and not-so-fake flirting, Erin finds herself laughing more than glaring. And Ni-ki? He might just be falling for the girl who swore she'd never fall for anyone. It started as a fake relationship, but is their love-hate dynamic turning into something dangerously real? Or will Erin stick to her rule and break both their hearts?
