Faun has always been on the sidelines-the backburner, the afterthought, the one who never gets chosen. He's fine with it. At least, that's what he tells himself.
But then there's Aden-charming, kind, and just out of reach. What starts as casual teasing and reluctant friendship turns into something dangerous-late-night conversations, stolen glances, and gestures that feel too much like something, yet never quite enough.
Faun knows better than to fall. Aden isn't his to have. But the problem with being a backburner? You get just enough warmth to keep hoping, even when you know you'll never be the flame.
A story of mixed signals, quiet heartbreak, and the pain of always being second.

Caught Off Guard
Kim Yeorin thought he had everything figured out-top grades, loyal friends, and a simple, predictable life. But when college brings him back under the same roof with his childhood best friend, Seo Leonhyun, things start to feel... different. Leonhyun, calm and quietly dependable, has been hiding one truth for years: he's in love with Yeorin. But Yeorin, despite being sharp in everything else, is hopelessly clueless when it comes to love-especially when it's directed at him. Between late-night dorm talks, stolen glances, and the endless teasing of their Filipino childhood friend, Sara, Yeorin begins to realize that friendship isn't always as simple as it seems. But what happens when comfort crosses into something deeper? When the bond he's always known starts to feel like something else-something he's not ready for? In the end, Yeorin may just learn that love has a way of catching you... completely off guard.

Everywhere All At Once
Myra lives her life in a loop-school, work, home. The same streets, the same faces, the same quiet routine. It's safe. Predictable. She's spent years convincing herself that comfort is enough, even if it means never chasing what she really wants. Then one rain-soaked evening leaves her dazed on the sidewalk-and waking up in a flower shop owned by a kind stranger and his infuriatingly charming son, Kai. Where Myra hides behind silence and scribbled thoughts, Kai is all laughter and light, the kind of person who turns mistakes into stories and dreams into action. He's everything she isn't-bold, spontaneous, fearless-and somehow, he won't stop showing up. As their paths keep crossing, Myra finds herself pulled into Kai's world of color and chaos, and he finds something grounding in her quiet steadiness. What starts as reluctant company slowly blooms into friendship... and something deeper neither of them were ready for

I Thought You'd Never Love Me
What happens when the person you've tried hardest to forget walks back into your life... just when your heart starts to hope again? Aria never believed in love. Not because she hadn't been loved, but because she was afraid-afraid of the kind of love that breaks people apart. Rayyan, on the other hand, had loved her since college, in silence and in storms. Years later, a wedding brings them under the same roof again, stirring memories, jealousy, and emotions that were never really buried. With Zoya-their shared connection, a best friend and a sister-at the center of it all, their tangled hearts must find a way through past wounds, buried fears, and the one kiss that changed everything. A slow-burn, heart-warming story of longing, vulnerability, and learning that sometimes... the right kind of love waits until you're ready to feel it.Complete

Asher wakes up in the hospital, disoriented. His mother tells him that the driver of the car that drove into his lane had a heart attack, causing his motorcycle to veer off the road. He's upset but tries to keep his spirit high. While recovering he comes across another patient named Kale. Kale is quiet at first but opens up to Asher. When they get closer, he reveals to Asher why he is a long term patient at the hospital. Asher takes it upon himself to bring more sunshine into Kale's life and over time they naturally got closer...maybe a little too close. They both feel it, but neither of them name it, both scared. One day Kale tells Asher that his mother decided to move to a different city. The treatment seemed better, she told him. "Will I see you again?" Asher asks hopeful. "Maybe not in this lifetime, but I hope in the next. You pinky promised to show me the ocean after all. And pinky promises are always kept." Kale replies with a sad smile. And that's how Asher's summer love came to an end. Or is it?
