She was the light he never wanted... and the only one who made him see again. Rowan Cassius Argyros once had everything-success, charm, and a future as bright as the sun. But when an illness stole his eyesight, it didn't just take away his vision. It shattered his trust, hardened his heart, and left him convinced that love had no place in his world. Enter Harmony Noëlle Sinclair-a nursing student with a heart too soft for her own good, whose laughter feels like light itself. She's determined to see the good in everyone, even the brooding man who hides behind cold words and dark glasses. What begins as routine check-ups slowly turns into late-night walks, café encounters, and an undeniable pull neither of them can resist. For the first time in years, Rowan feels something stirring-hope. Desire. Maybe even love. But opening his heart again means risking the pain he swore he'd never endure. And Harmony? She'll have to decide if she's strong enough to break through the walls he's built, even when he pushes her away. A story of healing, second chances, and the unexpected ways love can teach us to see again.
Mabayui Hikari (Shining Light)
My name is ASUKA JIRO. I am a twenty year old college student who is currently studying at Kobayashi University. Not too long ago I met someone; a very special person. Mabayui Hikari (which means Shining Light when translated into English) is college student Asuka Jiro's letter of revelation--a written account of his epiphany. An apathetic and introverted young man, Asuka Jiro, meets a person who soon turns his dark box-like world upside down--like a radiant ray of shining light, it illuminated and colored Jiro's black and white--monochromatic--life. *** I wrote Mabayui Hikari just for fun--an experiment--since I dislike the "romance" genre, I thought about writing one. I wanted to find out what goes through the author's mind while writing one. Although, I must say, I am not entirely sure what genre Mabayui Hikari falls on. Initially written just to waste time--it eventually became something very personal to me. --to a friend of mine, thank you.Complete

DESIRE AFTER THE RAIN
Two hearts that never sought love somehow found themselves in its crossfire. Desire had always been hungry not for a hand to hold, not for whispered promises, but for success that would make her name matter. Every choice she made, every risk she took, was fueled by that relentless fire burning inside her. Love was a luxury she couldn't afford. Rowan, meanwhile, lived tethered to a ghost. His heart belonged to someone who had walked out of his life but never left his memory. He wasn't looking for another; he was only surviving, counting the days in quiet solitude, haunted by what once was. And then Desire appeared a spark he didn't expect, a force he didn't know he needed. They collided, brushed against each other's edges, and for a moment, it seemed like something could bloom. But they both knew better. Desire could not pause for love, and Rowan could not unchain his past. while Rowan thought he had lost Desire to ambition, and Desire believed Rowan was lost to memory, neither realized that in their fleeting connection, they had already changed each other. Desire's fire had awakened a part of Rowan he thought was buried forever, and Rowan's quiet depth had given Desire a glimpse of something more than hunger. Did Desire ever find a reason to love, or was success always enough to fill the emptiness inside her? Did Rowan finally let go of the ghost of his past, or did it follow him quietly, like a shadow he could never shake?
