Learning Stories

Nicholas transferred universities for one reason: to surprise the girl he loved. Instead, he found her kissing another man. He should have walked away and disappeared quietly. That was the plan. But his new dorm is anything but quiet. His obsessive first love is there. And Rebecca, the bright and flirtatious blonde, keeps getting dangerously close. And Emily, the sharp-tongued girl who once hated him, starts seeing the parts of him no one else does. As rumors spread and old wounds reopen, Nicholas tries to stay calm, indifferent, and untouchable. But everyone has a limit. And when the people around him are dragged into the lies, the calm man everyone underestimated finally shows the university why his silence was never weakness. A story about betrayal, toxic rumors, obsessive love, slow-burn romance, and three dangerous women who refuse to let one broken man bleed alone.

(LEHARI x ADITYA) Two families. Two houses separated by a single low wall. One quiet, unspoken truth. Lehari Chowdary believed in grand, cinematic romance the kind found in softcover novels and schoolyard promises. At fifteen, she thought she had found her fairytale in Rohan, the golden boy of her tenth-grade class. But fairytales fade fast, leaving behind a trail of subtle control, broken confidence, and a young girl who forgot how to shine. Aditya Chowdary never believed in grand speeches. To the outside world, he was the quiet, stoic boy next door reserved, serious, and terrifyingly efficient. But behind the closed gates of their ancestral compound, he was the only one who truly saw Lehari: her loud laughter, her fierce heart, and the quiet scars left behind by a love that was meant to protect her, not break her. He watched her love the wrong person. He listened to her heart break. And without asking for a single thing in return, Aditya did what he was born to do he healed something he never broke. As years pass, childhood teasing softens into unspoken glances, shared rainstorms, and a deep, electric comfort that neither of them can name. But with Lehari's eldest sister, Meenu, leaving for her residency in the UK, the safety net of their childhood begins to shift. In the quiet spaces between college lectures, shared tea cups, and late-night verandah talks, two childhood sweethearts are forced to confront the truth they've been avoiding: Some love stories aren't written in loud promises. They are built in the silence between two hearts that were always meant to be one.

Natalie Brooks already knows exactly what South Korea is like. Or at least she thinks she does. When she's randomly assigned to spend an entire semester there through her school's study abroad program, she's convinced she's heading to a country built on K-pop, K-dramas, and unrealistic expectations. She plans to survive four months, keep her head down, and fly back to Atlanta exactly the same person she was before. That plan falls apart almost immediately. Her host family refuses to let her stay in her comfort zone. Her classmates challenge every assumption she makes. An exchange student from Moldova reminds her that no two people experience the same country the same way. And Kim Yeonjin-a funny, competitive classmate who seems to appear everywhere she goes-forces her to confront a surprising truth: He has just as many misconceptions about her as she has about him. As friendships grow, cultures collide, and Seoul slowly begins to feel less like a destination and more like home, Natalie discovers that understanding a place has nothing to do with stereotypes-and everything to do with the people who call it home. Funny, heartfelt, and full of unforgettable adventures, The Country I Didn't Choose is a coming-of-age story about challenging assumptions, embracing the unexpected, and finding pieces of yourself in places you never planned to go.

Seven months into their marriage, life feels almost exactly the way she once dreamed it .. a quiet mornings, silly arguments, family dinners, stolen kisses, and countless ordinary moments with the man she loves. It isn't a perfect life. But it's theirs. And sometimes, ordinary happiness is more than enough. For fourteen chapters, Miu and Jake simply live. They laugh. They fight. They make plans. They talk about tomorrow. Until one day, everything changes. Miu opens her eyes to a world she doesn't recognize. The people surrounding her have aged. Seven years have passed. And Jake is nowhere to be found. Because while Miu was asleep, her mind had given her something reality could no longer provide, a continuation of the life she and Jake were supposed to have.

And the life she remembers so vividly... was the life they never got. Sometimes, the cruelest thing about waking up is realizing the dream was the only place where the person you loved was still alive.
