"We're still friends, right?" "...Is that what you want?" Young-mi never planned to get attached. Not to Korea, not to the people, and definitely not to Felix. He was never supposed to be more than a friend. Simply safe, familiar and easy to leave behind. But somewhere between late nights, quiet conversations, and a kiss that was never supposed to mean anything, the line between friendship and something more begins to blur. With her future waiting for her back in the U.S., Young-mi refuses to risk everything she's worked for. And Felix isn't about to be the reason she stays, even if letting her go is the last thing he wants. So they pretend. That it didn't mean anything. That they can go back to the way things were. That walking away won't hurt as much as it already does. But some feelings don't fade just because you pretend they aren't there. And when the time comes to say goodbye, they'll have to decide: was it really just friendship... or something they were never meant to let go? FIRST BOOK OF THE INTERCONNECTED YET STANDALONE "STAY" SERIES!!

"I didn't mean to lose you." "You didn't mean to keep me either." Hyejin never expected to fall for Seungmin. He was familiar, comfortable, and easy to overlook until suddenly he wasn't. When something finally begins to grow between them, it's cut short by silence neither of them wanted. Months later, they're brought back into each other's lives with too many unfinished feelings and not enough distance. Seungmin has supposedly moved on and Hyejin refuses to become the girl standing in between. But some words matter most when they're said too late.

"This will destroy us both." "Then let's go down together." One night, one mistake, and one masked encounter shatters the line between hate and desire. Jia built her empire on blood, precision, and loyalty. As the ruthless leader of the Black Lillies, nothing and no one has ever made her falter. Until him. Chan, leader of the Stray Kids, is her sworn enemy: brilliant, dangerous, and impossible to ignore. When Jia realizes the man she can't get out of her head is the same one she's sworn to destroy, she must decide what she's willing to risk: her empire, her family, or her heart. In their world, falling in love isn't just dangerous. It's fatal.

Yang Hae-Yeon has built her career on precision. But when her latest project pairs her with Hwang Hyunjin, the boy who once infuriated her and secretly stole her heart, control is the first thing to unravel. What begins as sharp banter and clashing ideas shifts into something far more dangerous: late nights that blur into longing, and a rivalry that feels a little too much like fate. "Try not to ruin my designs this time." "Only if you promise not to fall for me halfway through."

"That's my kid. I should've known about him." "You cheated." "No, I didn't." -- Choi Myeong and Han Jisung. Anyone who knew them called them the couple of the century. Everything changes when Myeong thinks Han broke her trust. Five years later, circumstances force them back into each other's lives. With their son now between them and the truth finally revealed, they find their way back to each other. But just as everything starts to feel right again, Myeong is forced to make a choice that could destroy it all.
