Ugly Bones || p.jm

❝What is the use of a pretty face if you're ugly on the inside. Ugly all the way to your bones.❞

Jimin Park is a writer who is disappointed by the rejections thrown his way by publishing houses and Kazimir Lee, a pretty shopkeeper who tries to scam him into buying bread by double the price, just happens to be the only one with the right words to set his writing soaring up to the sky.

But where Jimin is awed by her writing, Kazimir is too busy wringing metaphors right out of her bones to fill the voids inside her before inking them down on paper.

They cross paths enough times for Jimin to become a secondary character in the book of her life right where the plot twist is supposed to be. But Jimin is too caught up in the words that slip from her fingertips unto the keyboard to notice he picked up a book with a trigger warning about an illness typed in invisible ink just beneath the beautiful cover and the captivating writing style.

Will he be able to take her out of the dark abyss she had started to call 'family' or will he too, be pushed down among all the people that merely walked her pages but never managed to understand the extent of pain one may suffer on the hands of a merciless fate engraved on her bones long before she was born and even more so, the unnamed consequences of bearing the burdens of a well-favored face.
