*"Everybody says love is special... A heartbreak, a freedom, and a home. And I say... I love Ayushmita."* Kim Taehyung, 24, is a man of few words-cold, sharp-tongued, and highly intelligent. Known for his excellence in academics, he is also the younger brother of Kim Seokjin, the CEO of Kim's Creation. Together, the brothers rule the business world, feared and respected by many. While Seokjin is known to be a little softhearted, Taehyung is the complete opposite-an impenetrable wall, the hardest to melt. He has never fallen in love, but his expectations of love are high, almost idealistic. Ayushmita, 23, is a psychiatrist with a painful past. A year ago, she had her heart broken by a toxic lover, a betrayal that changed her forever. Once cheerful and kind, she became quiet and distant, shutting herself off from love. Those who know her well say she is someone you should never anger, because once she reaches her breaking point, no one can calm her down. After her heartbreak, she stopped believing in love and never expected it to find her again. But fate had other plans. "You were never meant to be mine, Taehyung. So why does it hurt to let you go?" "I don't care if the world is against us. Just tell me once, Ayushmita... did you ever love me?" Their love was never meant to exist. It was complicated, forbidden, and bound to break them. But some feelings refuse to be forgotten. When love collides with family, pride, and destiny-will they rewrite their fate or become nothing but an Unwritten Vow?

Our Eun-ji, a dedicated and slightly introverted mathematics major, has her life meticulously planned out. Every moment of her day is scheduled for study, coursework, and tutoring sessions, leaving little time for socializing or fun. She's determined to achieve her goals, but as autumn sets in, so does an inexplicable sense of loneliness. Enter her upperclassman in the form of a relaxed, seemingly carefree arts major who has an annoying habit of popping up exactly when she needs him least. He's late for everything, has a thousand unasked-for opinions, and somehow sees through her "I don't need anyone" facade. Despite his teasing, he offers a fresh perspective on life outside of academics, challenging her to loosen up and experience more of her university days. What starts as a simple annoyance blooms into something deeper as she realizes he may be the exact variable missing from her otherwise perfectly structured life.

Just some Korean words(and phrases) you may or may not know about. {I use revised romanized Hangul.}

"A dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful" - Martha Graham. Haneul thought that he lost everything - his job, the love of his life. And life didn't seem to show him mercy at all. Until the day he decided to help one of his friends. Taejun's feelings were always one-sided. He got stuck between two choices between moving on or opening up, even if there was a chance of losing a close person. Yeon never felt herself as the main charachter. And maybe her purpose in life will always be to be the second choice - until she's not. The story of three people, lost and found by each other, destined to be part of each other's lives. (This is a story from three POVs, hope the readers will like it^-^) Disclaimer: you can stop reading after the 2nd part if you're here because of BL. The 3rd part is completely Yeon's story, but Haneul and Taejun are included.
