Leelah was in a funk. Her family knew it, her friends knew it, even her dogs knew it. How could she not know it herself? She wasn't stupid. She knew why she was in a funk. She knew it wasn't healthy, she knew her family and friends, and even her dogs were worried about her. She knew that she had to get over it and move on. What she didn't know was how. It was like she had stepped out of the lane of the living and was now having trouble getting back into it.
Raiden Feng was in a similar situation. Raised in a family with strict ideas of success, family, and duty, Raiden has worked hard to be at the top of the business world. He is known to be aloof, ruthless, and single minded. His work was his life. Nobody would guess the rediculously rich tycoon was feeling bored with the monotony of his narrow world.
Can two, seemingly VERY different individuals help each other out of the holes they are both stuck in? with so many differences, there are bound to be obstacles and misunderstandings. But maybe they are just what the other needs to return to life.

The Night We Met (Leowon/Wonxin au)
When Lee Sangwon's world shatters under a rain-soaked confession - "I'm tired of trying" - he's left alone in the park where his love story ends. But not completely alone. Hidden beneath the same tree, Zhou Anxin watches the man he loves cry for someone else. Weeks later, when Sangwon learns that Leo - the ex who broke him - has found someone new, his grief turns to something darker. He turns to Anxin with a plan that will change all three of their lives: "Fake date me. Make him jealous." Anxin agrees, because he's loved Sangwon for years in silence. Because even if it means breaking his own heart, at least he'll get to stand beside him - if only for a little while. As the lie deepens, old flames reignite, hearts collide, and the truth begins to drown under the weight of what's unsaid. Because the cruelest part of love isn't losing someone. It's realizing they were never yours to begin with. Disclaimer! Remember that the people mentioned in this story are real-life individuals with their own lives.

Somewhere Between Then and Now
Arin never meant to fall apart. Not loudly. Not dramatically. Just quietly - one bad day at a time. At fourteen, he feels invisible at home, disconnected at school, and trapped inside a mind that won't slow down. His friends want popularity. His parents want perfection. Arin just wants to breathe. After a night where everything cracks, Arin begins the slow climb back - through music, drawing, new friendships, and the quiet moments that rebuild a person when nobody's watching. A story about breaking, healing, growing, and learning to stand again. Not perfectly. Just honestly. A deeply emotional coming-of-age journey for anyone who's ever felt lost between who they were and who they're becoming.

I shrunk back into my seat as his head snapped towards me. He looked like his head was going to fall off. His eyes were blazing with rage. His face was set into an icy glare. His fists that rested on the table were clenched so hard his knuckles were white. As he stood from his chair so did I. I felt like the prey to the biggest predator in the jungle. I took two steps back for every stride he took towards me. I gulped again before shaking me head. "She's just joking Ace." my voice quivered as I took another two steps back. "How do I know that?" he sneered down at me, his body towering over me. As I went to take another step backwards, my back made contact with the wall behind me. Well great. Now I'm cornered.
