'Well, well, well, look who we have here. Late as always' a deep voice remarked.
My eyes make their way up as I'm still gathering my papers on the floor.
'Oh, good morning Mr. Ahn. I'm so sorry for coming late again'
'That's what you always say Indy yet here you are again. In the floor on your knees while looking up at me' he chuckles 'are you trying something?'

In the middle of the ocean
I deeply inhale and after a few seconds, exhale. Sooner or later, I'll have to return. Stalling won't help. The call gave me new strengths and lifted me back up on my feet. I can't show him the consequences he made. I have to stay strong. With newfound determination, I walk back to his office. The door is still open, so I step in and close them behind me. I finally see him behind a desk, with his head enveloped in his hands. At the sound of the door, he lifts his gaze up but lowers it back down again. I almost feel sorry for him, but the alarms in my head ring, reminding me not to get tricked. He is the one, who deceived me first. I lift my head up high and loudly start to introduce myself, formally addressing him. "Hello, I am Mia Rose, your new assistant," and extend my hand. He looks at me surprised and his smile turns into a gentle one. I think I see a speck of sadness in his eyes, but my attention is drawn to his hand. "Hello, I'm Mark Adams, a professional photographer. Nice to meet you," and shakes my hand. I notice he addresses me formally as well. His handshake is strong but still gentle. I feel like he doesn't want to let go, but soon does and sits back in his chair.Complete
Troubled love
"I do. I do believe you." He cuts me off. "I'm sorry for accusing you I just, I don't know. At the time I thought it made sense." "Don't apologise. I deserved your outburst guilty or not. I deserved a lot more than that." I excuse honestly. "Why do you have to make this so hard?" He groans. "Sorry?" I ask. "You. You're making this difficult." "I didn't mean-" "That right there. Quit being a gentleman. You are making it so hard to hate you right now." "I-" I get cut off by his lips on mine. His hands hold onto either side of my face as he roughly kisses me. I close my eyes and let him lead. He falls into my lap and I wrap my hand around him and hold his hips.Complete
Autumn Calculus
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.
The Last Contract
Update biweekly: Saturday @1pm ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Blythe I was always taught that responsibility must not be taken lightly. I have worked for the past few days, without coming back home. My head is throbbing. My body is craving sleep. I arrive at my apartment and notice it's unlocked. I dismiss it and head to the bedroom. I loosen my tie as I open the door. My bed is occupied. But with two people, instead of one. "Bell?" "John! What are you doing here?" "Zac?" "It's not what you think John. I can explain." Tori pleased "Explain what, Really?! That you been sleeping with him, while I'm killing myself at work?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nicole Garza The day I fell in love was during the first winter on this same day. Except I didn't fall in love today, instead I am soaking wet at the nearest cafe waiting for a cab. "Nicole, I came as soon as I heard," my best friend arrives at the cafe still in formal clothes. "Did you know?" I ask calmly. "I- I" she stutters "Waited for me to be humiliated?" I grit my teeth. "No that's not it. I did know but-" " But never thought you should tell me?!" I raise my voice "Well, I am not the one that left!" She fights back "You knew why I left! How do you think I feel finding out the love of my life married someone else!" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMAGES: From Pinterest and Google

"I never set any expectations," she shrugged. "They're good for nothing." He took a quick look at her, wanting to hear more and then focused back on the road. "If something good happens," she continued. "Then I'll be happy. If nothing happens then I won't be disappointed, because you can't be disappointed when you didn't expect anything." "I like the way you think," he said, smiling and she remembered why she liked him so much. He appreciated her for all the right reasons. "I was lucky to have certain people in my life that helped me open up my mind." "Perhaps," he said. "But I think the people that have you in their lives are the lucky ones." She laughed lightly.
