Beneath open skies and among fields that remember every season, two souls separated by time and circumstance find their way back to one another.

The after story to "Runt of the Litter" <3

Very short story "You were my first love... and somehow, my last." Minji had three rules for surviving senior year: 1. Stay focused. 2. Ignore Xavian (the infuriating, guitar-playing troublemaker who lived to push her buttons). 3. Never, ever lose a bet to him. But when a reckless wager forces her to break every rule-sneaking out at midnight, doodling in class, almost confessing feelings she swore she didn't have-Minji's perfectly planned life unravels. And when Xavian vanishes after their fallout, leaving only a crumpled note behind, she tells herself she's better off forgetting him. Ten years later, fate (and a meddling friend group) throws them back together. Now a successful music producer, Minji is determined to prove she's over him-until she discovers Xavian never sent the dozen letters he wrote her. And worse? She kept his too. With unresolved tension crackling between them and their friends orchestrating chaos, Minji and Xavian face the truth: some loves are worth a second chance.

Y/N's younger sister, a dedicated NewJeans fan, wins the opportunity of a lifetime-a contest granting her an entire day with the idol group. However, on the big day, she falls ill, devastated at the thought of missing out. She convinces Y/N, her introverted and nonchalant older brother, to go in her place. Reluctantly, Y/N agrees, thinking it'll be a simple matter of showing up, making polite small talk, and delivering his sister's heartfelt letter to the idols. To his surprise, the day spirals into chaos and hilarity. Y/N's genuine, unpolished personality starkly contrasts with the carefully curated image of the entertainment world, making him an instant enigma to the members. Over the course of their time together, each member finds themselves drawn to Y/N in different ways.

You hate her. You have to. Kim Minji is everything you're not: effortlessly brilliant, maddeningly composed, and your biggest academic rival since day one. The two of you have spent years locked in a cold war of GPA one-upmanship, snide remarks, and passive-aggressive study sessions. But when you're forced to partner up on a semester-long project, everything changes. Because somewhere between annotated bibliographies, late-night editing sessions, and unexpected conversations in sunlit corners of the library; you start to see her. Not as the girl who always outshines you, but as the girl hiding under all that armor. And maybe, just maybe, she sees you too.

One year at SNU (Seoul National University) as an exchange student leads you to join a... interesting study group. Being a foreign exchange student in Seoul wasn't high on your list of life-changing experiences. Armed with decent Korean and a scholarship, he expected a year of quiet studying and careful cultural navigation. Instead, he finds himself adopted by five girls who turn every day into an adventure. There's Hanni with her endless enthusiasm, Haerin who speaks more in knowing looks than words, Hyein who turns history into dramatic entertainment, Danielle whose stress-baking could feed a small army, and Minji, whose camera seems to capture moments he never even knew were special. Between Korean literature classes, midnight study sessions, and friends who seem to know more than they're letting on, you are learning that sometimes the best stories are the ones you never see coming. Even if it takes getting completely lost in Hongdae to find them.
