Baek Nara and Bang Chan grew up in Australia as childhood frenemies who argued over everything, from school grades to who had the better accent, yet somehow never spent a day apart. They were competitive, loud, and completely inseparable... until Chan suddenly moved to Korea to chase his dreams, leaving behind unfinished arguments and feelings neither of them understood. Years later, Nara runs into him again, no longer just the annoying boy next door, but someone who still knows exactly how to push her buttons and make her heart race. No matter the distance, the teasing, or the time apart, they realize some connections were never meant to break.

In a kingdom divided by hatred and old grudges, two young royals are never meant to cross paths, let alone fall in love. Han Na-bi wanders into a quiet forest to escape the weight of her name. When she accidentally drops something along the path, a stranger picks it up and calls out to her. Hwang Hyunjin is kind, curious, and from the very family she has been taught to fear. One simple meeting turns into magical moments, secret smiles, and a love that feels too pure for a broken world. But fate is cruel. As war erupts between the rival families, love is no longer enough to protect them. A fairytale written in love, sealed in tragedy, and remembered by the heart.

Jiwon is a powerhouse lawyer - brilliant, driven, and relentlessly busy - who's built her life around caring for her single mother and carving out a future free from the past she never talks about. When her mother collapses one evening, an unexpected neighborly rescue leads her to Han, a kind-hearted and shy member of the wildly popular boy group Stray Kids, who lives just next door. As Jiwon juggles high-stakes cases, family secrets, and a demanding career, she finds herself pulled into the warm, chaotic world of Han and his bandmates: a world that's as unfamiliar as it is comforting. Between late-night dinners, morning runs, and quiet moments shared in Seoul's sleepless cityscape, something tender begins to bloom. But with her mother's health a fragile secret and her own guarded heart reluctant to trust, can Jiwon learn to balance the scales of justice? cover by @loki_of_assguard <3

Hold My Hand is a coming-of-age romance set in the summer of 1995, right after high school ends. ⊰══════════⊱ Lee Haeri has always been the "good girl." She follows the rules, dreams big, and believes life will turn out okay if she does everything right. Han Jisung used to be her best friend, the loud, reckless kid who got into trouble but always protected her. Then middle school ended, and he disappeared from her life without a word. Years later, they reunite in their small hometown. Jisung is no longer the sweet boy she remembers, he's got a bad reputation, rides a beat-up motorcycle, and acts like he doesn't care about anything. Haeri, on the other hand, is standing at the edge of adulthood, unsure of who she wants to be now that school is over. As old memories resurface and weird feelings come back, the two are forced to face what changed, and what never did. Between late-night drives, cassette tapes, summer heat, and quiet moments that say more than words ever could, Haeri and Jisung slowly find their way back to each other. Hold My Hand is about growing up, first love, second chances, and the scary, beautiful feeling of stepping into the future with someone who once knew you better than anyone else.

(쉬운) IN WHICH, jyp unexpectedly adds another member to Stray Kids after Woojin's departure.

Kang Nayoung is sent to Nightborne Academy to be "fixed." Hidden from the human world, the school is home to vampires of different bloodlines, purebloods, nightborns, and cursed breeds, each trained to obey the academy's strict rules through subtle brainwashing disguised as discipline. Nayoung quickly realizes she doesn't belong. She is the only human in a school of predators. As her memories blur and her thoughts begin to change, she learns the terrifying truth: humans aren't admitted by accident. They are chosen. Her blood carries something ancient, something powerful enough to disrupt the academy's control over its students. Torn between forbidden romance and survival, Nayoung must uncover why she was brought to Nightborne... before the academy decides whether she will become their weapon, or their sacrifice.

When the Stray Kids group chat accidentally adds a random girl instead of a new staff member, they expect an awkward apology and a quick exit. What they don't expect... is to actually like her. Witty, sharp, and surprisingly unfazed by their chaotic energy, she slips into their daily messages like she's always been there. From early morning memes to sleep-deprived confessions, the chats go from accidental to addictive-and no one's more affected than Jeongin. He meant to remove her. He didn't mean to fall for her. But when teasing turns into texting, and texting turns into late-night calls, Jeongin starts to wonder... Was it really just a mistake? Or the best wrong number of his life? --- #1 in #jyp #1 in #straykids #1 in #leefelix #1 in #bangchan #1 in #kpop #1 in #hanjisung #1 in #jeongin #1 in #changbin #1 in #idol
