Things to Consider when Reading: This book as of February 2023 has gone under major editing since it was first written beginning 2017. I will not be editing it further, but in no means do I think it's perfect or no longer cringey, I just need to leave it be before I end up changing the whole plot. This book was written when I was in year 10/Freshman in High school. It's cringey, I wanted to be edgy. I'm so genuinely embarrassed by it that I can't bring myself to read the comments past the first few chapters. Don't judge, be kind to my young, edgy, emo self.

Reader x Lookism, packaged in self-contained arcs. A story is nothing without its set---but with the right encounter, all the world's your stage. _____ Arc 1: library [Gun], complete. → You enjoy the library because it gives you a chance to read your trashy fantasy novels in peace. But when a handsome stranger asks you to tutor him, you find yourself hard-pressed to say no. Arc 2: cafe [DG/Lee Jihoon/James Lee], in progress. → You've accomplished your lifelong dream of owning your own cozy little cafe. Everything would be perfect... except that your prettiest regular keeps reminding you of an old classmate you'd rather forget. Arc 3: classroom [Jake Kim], in progress. → It's not like you meant to pretend to be a boy; you simply couldn't help that the school had only ever had male uniforms and male students. But looking too pretty in an all boy's school means you're going to need quite a bit of help to stay safe. • Previously called vellichor. Each arc is its own (usually) unconnected ficlet featuring a pairing. This is an exercise in seeing how far I can take second-person narration. Pairing and scenario suggestions welcome.
