JOURNEY BY BUS Every day, Seoul rushes past the windows. People run after buses. People chase deadlines. People return home carrying exhaustion they never talk about. For Kwak Mi-chen, the bus ride home is supposed to be the quietest part of her day. She works, she gets tired, she gets irritated by almost everything-and then she goes home. Nothing more. Her best friend Ari, however, somehow manages to find excitement in the most ordinary things. Even after a terrible day at work, she can still smile at a delayed bus, complain dramatically about the rain, and somehow believe that something good is waiting around the next stop. Until one ordinary evening, their usual bus ride becomes slightly less ordinary. A few fallen papers. A stranger by the aisle. A familiar face at the next stop. And then another. Seven boys gradually become part of a journey neither Mi-chen nor Ari expected to remember. They are strangers who happen to share the same route. Some carry dreams. Some carry regrets. Some are simply trying to make it home. And between crowded seats, rainy windows, missed stops, late-night conversations and countless journeys through Seoul, two exhausted girls begin discovering that sometimes the most meaningful stories aren't waiting at the destination. They're hidden somewhere between the stops. Because maybe a journey isn't about where you're going. Maybe it's about who you meet along the way. JOURNEY BY BUS Some people are only passengers. Some become memories.

Josephine Matthews had once created beauty for the world. Every outfit. Every image. Every unforgettable moment. She was the woman behind the stars. Until one day, she disappeared. No explanation. No goodbye. Years later, she had built a quiet life away from the cameras, the fame, and the people who once knew her name. Then Kang Ji-hoon returned. The artist who had never forgotten her. The person who remembered her before the world changed her. But time had passed. Lives had changed. And feelings that were once easy to ignore had become impossible to hide. Between fame, secrets, betrayal, and unfinished emotions, Josephine had to decide if she was willing to step back into the spotlight. Because sometimes the person who knows your darkest moments is the same person who can make you feel alive again. © 2026 Relle H.

A trip to Seoul was supposed to be nothing more than a short escape filled with new places, beautiful memories, and a dream concert. But one unexpected encounter changes everything. After meeting Sunghoon by chance, she never expects their paths to cross again. Before they part, she gives him a small plushie as a lucky charm, along with a simple reminder: "Don't give up. You've got this." Days later, beneath the bright lights of an ENHYPEN concert, she notices something familiar. The same plushie. The same person. And a quiet reminder that some encounters are never as ordinary as they seem. Sometimes, the smallest gift can carry the biggest meaning-and a single moment can become a memory that lasts forever.

She was hired to work for him. She never expected to become the one person capable of changing him. He doesn't believe in love. She believes everyone has a soft side.

They loved each other everywhere-except Seoul. Scarlet Kang is an heiress. Kim Hongjoong is an idol. In every city except home, they can forget who they are. Paris. Kyoto. Santorini. New York.

Until they couldn't anymore. 🍋 Two worlds. One love. One city they were never supposed to face together.

Growing up in Sao Martinho do Porto in the 1990s, spending my twenties in neon lit East Asia felt farther away than a mere dream. When I told my family at 19 that I was moving to Vila do Conde to attend the Escola Superior de Hotelaria e Turismo, they were proud of me but caught in that classic dilemma of every traditional Portuguese family: "Seriously? Hospitality?" Still, they helped me move. Falling in love with a Korean exchange student in my second year, studying like crazy the year after to follow him, only to discover that I had been cheated on all along, those were the problems I used to make a big deal out of in my sweet, simple life. Then a brief touch at Incheon Airport threw my life into the center of a tense love story stretching across Lisbon, Seoul, and Macau. It was far more drama than romance.

Kim Ga Hyeri came to Seoul for a fresh start. She never expected that starting over would lead her to Cha Min Woo-the quiet, mysterious boy everyone knows but nobody truly understands.

## **Kurzbeschreibung** Es gibt Restaurants, in denen man satt wird. Und es gibt Restaurants, die einen verändern. Als Park Jimin an einem verregneten Abend zufällig das kleine Restaurant **Han Kki** betritt, sucht er eigentlich nur etwas Warmes zu essen. Doch dort gibt es keine Speisekarte. Stattdessen stellt ihm der Besitzer, Jeon Jungkook, wortlos ein Gericht auf den Tisch - genau das, was Jimin in diesem Moment braucht. Verwirrt kehrt Jimin immer wieder zurück. Nicht nur wegen des außergewöhnlichen Essens, sondern wegen der Ruhe, die er zwischen den alten Holztischen, dem Duft von frisch gekochtem Reis und Jungkooks stillem Lächeln findet. Während das Han Kki für seine Gäste zu einem Ort der Hoffnung wird, kämpfen beide mit ihren eigenen Wunden. Zwischen kleinen Gesten, warmen Mahlzeiten und leisen Momenten entsteht eine Verbindung, die keiner von ihnen erwartet hat. Doch manchmal braucht es nur eine einzige Tür, die man öffnet, um sein ganzes Leben zu verändern. **Eine Geschichte über zweite Chancen, Freundschaft, Liebe und den Mut, endlich wieder nach Hause zu finden.**

Seoulmate: Twice the Damage He thought his heart had already learned its lesson. After losing the girl he once loved, Sang Heon Lee had made peace with being the one who stood beside the happy ending-not the one who got it. Until one unexpected day by the sea. A stranded car. A sharp-tongued stranger. A fifteen-year-old who called him uncle. And an encounter he would rather forget. But some people have a strange way of finding their way back into your life. Especially the ones you never expected to see again. Sang Heon doesn't believe in second chances. He certainly doesn't believe in second soulmates. And yet, somewhere between old wounds, new beginnings, and a girl who refuses to let him have the last word... he might just discover that the heart has a cruel sense of humor. Because sometimes, the second time you fall- you fall twice as hard.

*Title: _6 Months With Mr. Kim*_ *Her: Hana* *Him: Mr. Kim / Jung Hae-won* --- *Synopsis: _6 Months With Mr. Kim*_ Hana Park has two problems: 1. Loan sharks at her door 2. A hospital bill she can't pay Jung Hae-won has one problem: His grandmother is threatening to take away K-Holdings if he doesn't get married in 90 days. He's cold, ruthless, and the most feared chaebol CEO in Seoul. She's broke, stubborn, and one missed payment away from losing everything. One offer. One contract. *Be my fake fiancée for 6 months. 1 billion won. No dating. No touching. Don't fall in love.* Hana signs. It's just business. Show up to galas. Smile for the cameras. Pretend to be the perfect match for Mr. Kim. Easy, right? Until the press crowns her "Seoul's Cinderella." Until his grandmother starts planning the wedding. Until Hae-won's hand on the small of her back doesn't feel fake anymore. Until his enemies decide the best way to hurt him... is through her. 6 months. 3 rules. But no one told Hana what to do when the billionaire who never loved anyone starts looking at her like she's the only real thing in his world. He said don't fall in love. Too late, Mr. Kim. --- '#chaebol #koreanbillionaire #contractmarriage #fakedating #romance #ceo #seoul #kdrama #enemiestolovers #wattpadromance. He offered her 1 billion won to be his fake fiancée. 3 rules: No dating. No touching. No falling in love.

She was used to being the only one - the only Black face in crowded rooms, the only voice speaking a different language, the only person who knew that survival sometimes meant keeping your head down and your feelings buried so deep even you forgot where you left them. He was born into a world where everything was handed to him before he knew to want it - money, status, a future mapped out in boardrooms and expectations. He raced because it was the only place he felt free. The only place where speed meant escape instead of performance. They should never have met. They definitely should never have kept meeting. But Seoul had a way of bringing people together in the spaces between neon and rain, between engine roar and silence, between the person you showed the world and the person you hid beneath your skin. What started as annoyance sharpened into something that cut. What started as rivalry twisted into obsession. And what started as two people who had no business needing each other became the only thing keeping them both from drowning. This is not a love story about perfect people finding perfect happiness. This is a story about damaged souls, dangerous secrets, and the devastating cost of choosing truth over loyalty. About the rhythm of blood and engines and heartbeats that refuse to stay in time. About what survives when everything else burns.
