Soju Bottles

Mellow Series #1

On nights filled with shouts, through clouded mornings and sunlit afternoons, in rain or in shine-an empty soju bottle is always at my side.
Burgundy. Deeper and more deliberate than true red, it stands for ambition, wealth, and power-qualities she has never quite possessed. Burgundy Red, the eldest daughter in a home built from angst, regret, and waning hope, has carried the weight of a family's brokenness for as long as she can remember. As the big sister to her only sibling, Rita, she dreams of offering the very life she once longed for- if only to soothe the wounds of her own inner child.

But somewhere between survival and sacrifice, she meets a man she never saw coming- someone capable of unraveling everything she thought she knew about love, longing, and herself.
