ABK December Writing Challenge Entry

Teaser: 

In the ruins of Barangay Cogon, where the sea once hummed gently and neighbors filled the air with laughter, Maria now hears only the whispers of loss. The storm spared her life but took everything else-neighbors, homes, and certainty. Yet, as Christmas draws near, Maria faces a choice: to let despair swallow her or to fight for moments of joy, no matter how fleeting.

By the light of a flickering candle and the fragile glow of a handmade parol, Maria finds the courage to sing again, to smile again, and to believe that even in the darkest of nights, there can still be stars.

How do you smile when all seems lost? Maria's answer will break your heart-and fill it with hope.

in which hoshi and yuju's fates intertwine with one another once again because of that one performance -------------- a hoshi and yuju fan fiction short story based on their dance performance from the seventeen x gfriend collaboration in mama 2016 *mostly in english, although there will be dialogues in korean (with translation ofc) along the way **early disclaimer: i am NOT fluent in korean (though i do know it, maybe intermediate level-ish), i just thought it would sound a bit better (and some parts would make sense) if they were in korean. so if there are any mistakes you can point out and correct me, i'll gladly take it.
