A WINRINA/JIMINJEONG FANFICTION WHERE KARINA RECEIVED A CURSE AS A PUNISHMENT THAT TURNED HER IN YEAR 1925, EXACTLY 100 YEARS AGO. WHAT'S THE REASON WHY SHE RECEIVED SUCH CURSE? AND WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO HER? DON'T JUDGE TOO EARLY! A/N: EXCUSE FOR THE ERRORS. I'LL EDIT THEM ONCE I HAVE A TIME. highest ranks: #1 - jmj

"I just wanted a dating app, not a near-death experience." Minjeong has three problems: her father's crushing debt, her complete lack of a social life, and the fact that she just matched with a girl so gorgeous it's probably a crime. Karina is mysterious, dark-eyed, and suggests they meet in an alley behind a closed-down theater. Minjeong's survival instincts? Nonexistent. She goes anyway. Obviously. One sharp bite later, she wakes up on Karina's lap with no memory of what happened, a weird pain in her neck, and the strange feeling that she's forgetting something important. What she doesn't know: Karina is a vampire. What she also doesn't know: once Karina tastes your blood, she can manipulate your mind. And Karina has no intention of letting her go.

They're ranked #1 and #2 in the department, but the numbers don't explain the hatred. Winter worked for her spot. Every grade came from sacrifice-missed parties, no sleep, constant pressure to be perfect because failure was never an option. Professors praise her discipline, but they also expect it. From her, excellence is mandatory. Karina didn't have to bleed for it the same way. She understands the material quickly. She speaks confidently in class, challenges professors, bends rules and somehow gets away with it. People assume she's just "naturally smart," that it comes easy. Winter hates her for that. Not because Karina is effortless - but because everyone treats Winter's effort like it's worth less than Karina's ease. Karina hates Winter too. Not because Winter is rigid - but because Winter looks at her like she doesn't deserve her place. Like she cheated the system by not suffering enough. They don't argue loudly. They don't sabotage each other in obvious ways. Their hatred is quiet, academic, cutting.

Seven years after fleeing her small Texas hometown, Karina Yu is forced back by her job: convince the Kim family to sell the land that keeps Plaintop alive. Winter Kim, ranch foreman and Karina's first love, isn't about to let her waltz in and destroy everything. As old feelings clash with buried secrets, Karina and Winter must face the past, the truth, and each other before one final summer changes everything.

It all started with a favor. Yvonne-idol, trendsetter, and maybe the only person Wynston Lauren ever actually listens to-needed dancers for her comeback stage. Wynston, bored out of her mind in her family's Hacienda and desperate for a reason to escape the walls of her legacy, agreed to help. One audition. That's all it was supposed to be. But then came Katarina. Katarina Sarmiento, street-trained, fire-eyed, and too sharp for her own good. She didn't flinch at Wynston's last name, didn't care for her designer shoes, and definitely didn't ask for permission to speak her mind. Their first meeting was a disaster. One glare, one sideways comment, and the air between them turned electric in all the worst ways. Wynston didn't apologize. Katarina didn't back down. And somehow, neither of them could look away. Now, with Katarina on the official dance team and Wynston lingering around the studio "for moral support" (according to Yvonne), things only get messier. They bicker, they clash, and they can't seem to be in the same room without someone throwing a look or a line too sharp to ignore. But Yvonne knows better. And when she sets up a quiet dinner between the two-under the guise of team bonding-their usual verbal sparring takes a different turn. Softer. Quieter. Still awkward, still tense... but maybe a little less angry. Now something unspoken sits between them. And no one knows what it is. Not Naomi, not Gabriella, not even Wynston herself. But the glances are different. The silence stretches longer. And suddenly, the girls who were supposed to be background characters in each other's lives start lingering in ways that feel harder to brush off. Katarina was never supposed to matter. Wynston was never supposed to stay. But the studio had other plans.
