A re-telling of Hansel and Gretel.

"When a rose bares its thorns, all hell breaks loose."

From the tale, after Hansel and Gretel were left in the forest by their own parents, they found themselves inside a house made of gingerbread and sweets resided by a cannibalistic witch that intends to fatten children before eventually eating them, but Gretel outwits the witch--killing it.

In this story, it was Oceanne and River, after they were asked by their father to wait in the deepest corners of the woods, they were attacked by monstrous beasts disguised as humans-- separating the twin siblings. 

Oceanne was eventually found by an organization called "Rose" who aims humanity's liberation from the same beasts that attacked them-- they call it "Thorns"-- while River was left alone.

As Oceanne grows up with the goal of reuniting with her brother, she realizes that there's more to it; about the members of Rose and the Thorns.

Can she accomplish her goals while unfolding the mysteries of the creatures that caused the tragedies of her life?

Lavender is in love with Yuan, the perfect guy--kind, sweet, charming, and a musician like her. The problem? He's not real. He only exists in her dreams. *** Lavender Laxamana can't sing or play the guitar in front of anyone anymore. She hides in her dreams where she can perform and play music to her heart's desire with Yuan. Lavender has already accepted that the man she loves is just a figment of her imagination, but when she crosses paths with Aki, a starting artist who goes by the name of Musikero and looks and sounds like Yuan, Lavender is hopeful they can finally be together in real life. But reality slaps her in the face when she finds out Aki is the exact opposite of Yuan, and he loathes her. While Lavender struggles to find the connection between Yuan and Aki, can she finally find the courage to stop escaping from reality--no matter that Aki may be in love with another woman? And can she finally face the rhythm and beats of her heart and pursue her passion again? How far will she go--or not go--for her dreams? DISCLAIMER: This story is written in Taglish.
