𝘈𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘊𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴 "𝙈𝙮 𝙚𝙮𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙪𝙥 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚, 𝙅𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙨." "𝙄 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙣𝙞𝙘𝙚." Isabella Reed has always been good at keeping things simple. Teach her second graders, help her students grow, go home, and do it all over again the next day. At Abbott Elementary, where every day comes with unexpected challenges, chaos, and a never-ending list of things that need fixing, Isabella has learned one thing: you can't control everything. Then James Mitchell joins the staff. A third-grade teacher with endless patience, a terrible habit of staying late, and a belief that every problem has a solution, James is everything Isabella isn't. He's optimistic where she's realistic, open where she's guarded, and somehow always finds a reason to make the hardest days a little easier. They're not instant friends. They're not the obvious pair. No one sees it coming. But somewhere between shared lesson plans, late nights in empty classrooms, coffee before morning meetings, and conversations after the final bell, Isabella and James slowly become the person the other looks for at the end of a long day. Because sometimes the most important lessons aren't taught on a chalkboard. Sometimes they happen after class. female!oc x male!oc

「 ⩩ 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 Hana, a doctor who saves lives, is forced into the arms of Heeseung, a merciless mafia hitman who takes them. When their worlds collide, blood and fate intertwine. Yet fate is cruel, and now she stands in front of him-a beauty in the hands of a beast, a healer trapped with a killer. 」 ══════⊹⊱≼≽⊰⊹══════ "Do you want to live?" His voice was almost a whisper now, dangerous, loaded with the weight of the question. Hana's throat felt tight, every word a struggle to force out. "I... I do..." she breathed, the words barely escaping her lips. The cold metal against her skin was the only thing she could focus on, and it was the only thing that was keeping her from losing herself completely. But she didn't give in. Not yet. Heeseung didn't move for a long time, his eyes never leaving her face. He didn't lower the gun, but his hand didn't shake, his resolve unwavering. "If you want to live," he murmured, his voice low and almost distant, "then you'll have to prove it to me, doctor." Her pulse raced, but she nodded, her gaze steady. "I'll do whatever it takes." Then, without warning, he moved toward her. His voice, low and velvety, broke the silence, his words cutting through the tension like a blade. "Then marry me."
