"Go ahead," I said, backing up against the pink wall of the shop. "Do something other than glare at me." I waited. One, two, three seconds... and nothing. I raised my chin at him. "You're boring me, mute boy." He stepped closer. Leaned toward me as his gaze burned into mine. Then... ❀ ❀ ❀ After three months in juvenile detention, it's time for Romy Pereira to help out with her family's flower shop. And it's not all bad... until they hire Jack Michel to work beside her. He doesn't speak, communicating with glares and scowls instead of words, and seems to be more interested in literal rocks than other human beings. And with an ex-convict mother, her friends drifting away, and the flower shop falling apart, the last thing Romy wants to deal with is Jack's attitude. She'll forever praise the day he screws up big time and gets himself fired, but until that day comes, it's mostly one cold-hearted girl, her silent (but still infuriating) coworker, and a whole lot flowers.

No matter how close you are to them, there are certain things you just don't say. No matter how lonely you feel, there are certain people you just don't befriend. No matter how much you've fallen, there's always a guy you shouldn't give your heart to... Sadly for me, I learnt the last one only after I had gotten my heart broken. They say that you shouldn't look down upon anyone, or you will be put in their situation and made to experience the crisis. When I was fourteen, I had rolled my eyes at a girl who was sobbing histerically over a guy who liked her best friend. And I was probably paying the price for that now. However, I was trying my best to fit my feet in the shoes I had been given. I was trying and I was managing just fine. What I didn't need was a trouble maker who entered my life without permission. The guy who claimed to be bowled over by me, the one with a broken heart. Little did he know, I had entrusted myself to Al Malik, The Owner of me and my heart. And if he had to reach me, he had to do so by pleasing Allah. Which wasn't possible for a guy like him. Or so I thought.

"You know what is love, Zarrar Aalam, but you do not know its definition in my mind- that you call love." She spoke in cold voice enough to shake his whole exhausted being while observing the artistic patterns of water on the casement of the lounge. "Then what do I call love?" He lifted his eyelids only to disclose the bloodshot valleys slightly blurred by the salty water swimming through their dimensions. She chuckled coldly and faced him to say, "Hate. Your love is hate to me." A drop from his tired orbs slid down his stubble and the thunderstorms jolted the sky. She was saying much- many words but the only ones his mind registered were, "Simple hate!" What happens when the biggest virtues of a girl, her piety and purity of character, are badly demolished by the man she hated the most? Even when her body is not troubled but the scars are imprinted on her soul? Can she at any time start falling for the man behind all this mayhem in her life? Can she love him? Can she ever stop hating him, simply? My biggest mistake was not falling for you. It was thinking you had fallen for me too!

Every year there is always that one rookie kpop group that outshines the rest. That one group who towers victoriously over the others and this year it seems BTS is that golden group. These seven young men have already received thousands of fans and supporters and it has been less than a month since they arrived onto the k-pop scene and debuted. This new male hip-hop group consists of: Jin (Kim Seokjin), Rap Monster (Kim Namjoon), Jeon Jungkook, J-Hope (Jung Hoseok), Park Jimin, Suga (Min Yoongi) and V (Kim Taehyung). Together, they're dominating their home country and the rest of the world with their refreshing, rhythmic and upbeat music. They have become icons and their future appears to be bright and promising. Everyone has high expectations for BTS that is until So Arang takes a bite out of them. Apparently, Arang poses a threat to all of the hard work they've put into making their dreams come true. And once she does the unthinkable, Kim Taehyung refuses to stand for it. He and his friends worked their asses off to get where they were and he wasn't going to let some girl ruin it for them. No chance in hell and he was willing to go to any extent to make sure So Arang never messed with BTS and their fans ever again. How ironic, they were supposed to be bulletproof yet he allowed a few words get to him.
