All Kodi Auyang wants is the word Doctor before his last name, but the closer he grows to Jordan Blythe, the more he seems to lose touch with reality. Bizarre dreams evolve into daydreams and visions, and his laser focus falters.
Jordan Blythe is an enigma-the polar opposite of Kodi: she comes from a wealthy family and is a virtuoso on the harpsichord, while Kodi lives on Twinkies, soju, and ramen and goes on all-night coding binges. In a struggle to understand her, Kodi finds himself following a trail of Jelly Beans in the Asian Library. There, he comes to realize that Jordan may be modeling her life on a character from a classic work of Chinese literature.
Is Kodi's analytical perspective being influenced by Jordan's artistic one? Are the two worlds compatible? Is Kodi just another character in Jordan's attempt to make life mimic art?

Sariah's first year at Clark University is supposed to be about new beginnings, independence, and finding her path. But as she steps into the unknown, she finds herself caught between the expectations of who she *should* be and the person she's beginning to uncover beneath the surface. Her journey of self-discovery takes an unexpected turn when she meets Mercedes, her eclectic, Afrocentric, crystal-loving roommate who introduces Sariah to a side of her culture she's never fully explored. Mercedes' unapologetic embrace of her black roots and spiritual practices forces Sariah to confront the parts of her identity she's kept hidden or ignored, opening her eyes to a deeper connection to her culture. At the same time, Sariah finds herself paired with Drew, a mysterious and artistic classmate, for a challenging art project. Initially, Drew seems like just another classmate-but as their collaboration deepens, Sariah begins to see him in a different light. With Drew, she finds herself questioning more than just her art; she begins to wonder if she's ready to open her heart and take a leap into something more than just a creative partnership. Sariah navigates the messy, beautiful, and transformative process of learning who she really is, embracing her culture, and discovering that sometimes, the path to self-awareness is more about the people we meet than the answers we seek. A tale of friendship, love, and self-empowerment, this coming-of-age story is a celebration of what it means to find your roots while forging your own identity.

Engineering Love Malfunction by laydeeshannon
25 parts Complete
Park, a no-nonsense, by-the-book Engineering student, has always kept his head down, focusing on blueprints, equations, and the occasional workshop banter. He has no time for distractions-especially ones that come in the form of Beam, the infamous Medical Casanova of the university. Beam, on the other hand, is charming, flirtatious, and effortlessly glides through life with a dazzling smile and a trail of admirers behind him. Their worlds collide-quite literally-when Park's friend lands in the university hospital after a late-night hazing incident. That's where he meets Beam, the effortlessly charismatic medical student who seems to have a witty remark for everything. From the moment they cross paths, it's a clash of oil and water: Park finds Beam annoyingly smug, while Beam is far too entertained by how easily Park gets riled up. What starts as irritation soon turns into an unavoidable series of encounters. Whether it's at the hospital, in the cafeteria, or even during inter-faculty events, Park finds Beam inexplicably everywhere. Beam, for his part, is intrigued-Park isn't like the people he usually flirts with. He's sharp, serious, and completely immune to his usual charms. So naturally, Beam makes it his mission to break through Park's walls, just for the fun of it. But when an accidental moment of vulnerability exposes a side of Beam no one usually sees, Park is forced to confront the possibility that there's more to the university's famed Casanova than just a smooth-talking flirt. And as they continue to butt heads, Park realizes that maybe, just maybe, sparks aren't always a bad thing. After all, opposites may clash, but sometimes, they combust into something unexpectedly bright.
