She was fearless, the girl everyone followed. He was reckless, the boy everyone whispered about. Ten years later, their worlds collide again because of someone who reminds her too much of him.

-- and the funny thing is, i would've married you, if you'd have stuck around. ❝ I'll always be a part of you. I promise. ❞ In a world where soulmates are connected by thread around their finger, every person is born with an invisible tie to their perfect match. The string is a symbol of fate, promising that no matter where life leads, two soulmates will always find each other. The tie is unbreakable-until it isn't. Love is a force beyond control, sometimes it is fleeting, and even the strongest connections can be severed too soon. Fate has its own timing, and some souls are not meant to stay forever, no matter how deeply they are bound. ©kasuirde #2 JUNGWONFANFIC #6 ENGENE #12 YANGJUNGWON

After a series of unsolved murders, a small-town police station calls for a trio of well-known detectives to solve the case. As the case escalates things get left behind and new feelings are found in the depths of stacks of clues. Perhaps she is fit for an accompanying detective after all... "I rarely ask for anything sir, but for once in my life I will beg. I am begging you. Please put her under surveillance and protection. I am begging you." "Alright. We'll keep an eye on her... But if you're wrong-" "I'm not. I assure you. I will have this case solved before the two weeks run out." --- Started: Aug 12, 2024 Ended: -

Now you know, be careful around the people you love. Within them, there's the monster of your nightmares. - You're not living.. you're surviving.

Yang Jungwon has everything a young man could want, prestige, a brilliant academic future, and a family who never accepts less than perfect. Han Sowon has almost nothing. Battling a chronic illness that sets her apart from everyone else, she moves through life quietly, surviving more than living. They were never meant to fall in love. But in the stillness of study halls, between glances in the classroom, and in the brief moments no one else noticed, they did. It was soft. Gentle. Real. Yet the world around them didn't agree, pressuring them apart, labeling their love as dangerous, foolish, impossible. As Jungwon's life is shaped for him, a marriage, a future, a success story, Sowon disappears like a shadow, leaving only silence where love once lived. Torn between duty and heart, expectation and truth, Jungwon is forced to choose, follow the path built for him, or risk everything for the one person the world told him not to love. They Said We Shouldn't is a story about the love that comes quietly, fights silently, and lingers long after the last kiss. A love that was never allowed to bloom, yet bloomed anyway.

Seo Yewon wanted a fresh start. After transferring to one of the most prestigious schools in Seoul, she planned to lay low, keep her grades up, and prove to her family that she wasn't a failure. What she didn't plan for was Yang Jungwon-top student, effortlessly popular, and her new tutor. From the moment they met, he made it his mission to tease her at every opportunity. He was everything she disliked - cocky, too confident, and way too charming for his own good. But as much as she wanted to ignore him, their paths kept crossing. Now, between annoying tutoring sessions, unwanted family dinners, and Jungwon's equally frustrating group of friends, Yewon finds herself trapped in a love triangle between Jungwon and school's heartbreaker Heeseung. But the more she fights it, the more she realizes that maybe Jungwon isn't as unbearable as she thought. Maybe, just maybe... this forced connection was never a coincidence.
