Mei Lin, a whip-smart and fiercely independent Korean-American teenager, juggles the chaos of her family's bustling dumpling restaurant, "Kim's Corner," with the demands of high school. Her days are a whirlwind of textbooks, steaming mandu, and navigating the complexities of first-generation immigrant life.

But Mei craves more than the delicious, exhausting loop her life has become. A chance encounter with Alex, a silver-spooned boy from a world as different as kimchi is from caviar, sparks a yearning for something unexpected. As their paths collide across the cultural divide, Mei finds herself caught between the comfort of her familiar world and the allure of a life beyond the steam.

Can Mei bridge the gap between sizzling dumplings and five-star galas? Will she find a way to balance her family's legacy with her own dreams? And most importantly, can love blossom between a girl who fights with spatulas and a boy who lunches with CEOs?

Falling Up is a heart-warming, hilarious, and mouthwatering story about finding your voice, embracing your heritage, and discovering that love, like the perfect dumpling, can come in the most unexpected packages.

Growing 2gether by Xing_Mei1018
13 parts Ongoing Mature
Growing 2gether is a made-up series that I have created. None of the things mentioned in the story are based on truth. This is supposed to be a fictional story intended for fun. This series contains the mention of a Chinese boy group called Boy Story. Who are under a Korean company called JYP Entertainment. Do I know them personally? No. As I mention everything is fictional. I will give a small warning there may be violence or strong language in the story. There may be sweet character interactions but nothing really intimate. (There are no smut scenes or intense NSFW content.) There may be some cussing here and there. I will add that there may be blood involved later on in the story. It's not heavy blood and gore, but there are accidents that happen. Also, this story is told in a First Person POV or Point of View. Occasionally it may slip into a Second POV. (Where someone is described in third person but also speaks in first person.) There may be times where we see the character in Third POV. The character is nicknamed MeiMei but later on you can swap the name for your own. The characters may refer to MeiMei (The Main Character aka YOU.) as Mei to shorten it. MeiMei means little sister in Chinese which is why the character is called MeiMei. It can also be used in a sweet caring way to my knowledge. Did I choose the name because of my username? Nope. I just gave the character a short simple name that can easily be swapped for any name. If this series does well and people enjoy it, then I will also add different languages. Languages such as Spanish, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, etc. I will also do my best to write as quickly as I can to get out all the chapters I have so far. I hope you enjoy my made-up story and look forward to more of my work. Thank you~

🏆Featured on Wattpad || Watty's Short List Winner 🏆Featured on Wattpad || Editor's Picks 🏆Featured on Wattpad || #WrittenWithPride 🏆Featured on WattpadExplorer || Written With Pride Kopter and Park are from two completely different worlds, one heralding from one of the wealthiest families in Thailand and the other from, well, a relatively poor family from South Korea. The opportunity to study at one of the most elite high schools in the world brings them both to the vibrant, dream-chasing city of New York. When fate steps in and the two boys meet in the small, charming coffee house Koon Chai Cafe, the sparks between these polar opposites are undeniable. To stay humble and grounded as he attends one of the most elite schools in the world, Kopter must work his afternoons in one of his family's coffee shops. Working there he meets Park, a classmate and Kopter's opposite. Park works there only to support himself and his scholarship. Tall, athletic, and outgoing, Kopter makes friends everywhere he goes. Cold, reclusive, and an outcast at school, Park takes an immediate dislike to him. So why do sparks keep flying between these diametrically opposed boys?
