When Hong Eunchae, a passionate young piano teacher, is hired by an elite family to teach their quiet daughter Ceena, she expects a simple job, not the unexpected return of Ceena's older brother-Riki Nishimura, a gifted art student from Tokyo. Known for caring about nothing but his canvases and his little sister, Riki's world begins to shift the moment he meets Eunchae.
What starts as harmless teasing turns into soft smiles, shared secrets, flour fights, and late-night talks that blur the line between friendship and something far deeper. As love blooms in stolen moments between piano keys and paint strokes, they must face strict family expectations, personal dreams, and the challenge of holding on to something fragile but beautiful.
In a house filled with silence, Eunchae and Riki will create a song of their own-a melody made of laughter, love, and the promise that even off-key hearts can still find perfect harmony.

A Cup with Your Name on It | Han Jisung
Jisung is exhausted. Burnt out from performing, from expectations, from being known by everyone but seen by no one. On a rainy morning in a city that never really slows down, he walks into a small café tucked between a laundromat and a closed-down bookstore - the kind of place that doesn't ask questions. Rin just wants to get through another shift without the espresso machine exploding or flooding the back sink. The café isn't fancy, but it's hers - a quiet routine, a rhythm she can live inside. She doesn't recognize the guy with the complicated coffee order and tired eyes, and when he comes back the next day, and the day after, she still doesn't ask. Between mismatched mugs, bad puns on chalkboards, after-hours cleanups, and silence that doesn't need filling, something grows. Something safe. Something real. She doesn't know who he is. He doesn't know she used to be someone else, too. But somehow, this café becomes a place neither of them want to leave. Even when the outside world catches up. ━━━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━━━━━ This is a soft slice-of-life friendship story set in a quiet café. It's platonic, grounded, and full of late-night vulnerability, awkward honesty, quiet defiance, and tea that says everything they won't. No romance. Just two people learning to be themselves - slowly, safely, together. A soft, platonic story about showing up, staying quiet, and finding home where you weren't looking for it. Thanks for reading. I hope this feels like a warm drink on a heavy day. ~CURRENTLY UNDER EDITING~Complete
𝑴𝒀 𝑫𝑬𝑪𝑬𝑷𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵 | PARK SUNGHOON
Kira have always been the perfect youngest daughter, her grades at the top of her class, elegant gallery exhibitions under her name, adored by her peers for being soft-hearted despite her wealth. She's always been the girl who lived by her own rules. She wasn't cruel. She weren't spoiled. She just wanted to be enough. Her father calls her his pride and joy, but after a few drunken parties with her elite friends when her marks slip for the first time, that pride fractures. To him, perfection is not a choice, it's the price of carrying his name. Her parents branded her a disappointment. A disgrace. And suddenly, all her achievements meant nothing. That's when her friend who's meet him once introduced her to him. . At first glance, he's the definition of quiet, a bespectacled boy she mistake for harmless. Sunghoon was supposed to be her tutor: a quiet, awkward boy with glasses, someone she could easily push around to help her scrape her GPA back up. At first, that's exactly how it seemed. He was hesitant, reluctant, almost painfully shy... until the mask slipped. Underneath the mild exterior was something sharp. Cold. Dangerous.

Dirty Prada | Purinz
"So, who's Chaewon murdering today?" Kazuha asks, eyes flicking to the prefects' table where Kim Chaewon sits, posture perfect, expression unreadable. "Probably her own libido," Yunjin fires back. "I bet she's never even thought about sex. She's like celibacy, but make it Prada." Sakura chokes on her orange juice. "She's got to be into something. Maybe girls. Maybe she gets off on confiscating lip gloss." Eunchae's eyes go wide. "Do you think she's ever...you know..." She makes a vague, deeply unhelpful gesture under the table. "Touched herself? Eunchae, she probably does it with gloves on so she doesn't leave fingerprints," Yunjin deadpans. The table erupts. Sakura leans in. "Let's make it interesting. Five bucks says no one can get Chaewon to crack. Ten if you catch her checking you out, Yunjin." "Oh, please." Yunjin grins, flicking her hair. "She probably thinks boobs are a myth. But fine, I'll play." An original work.Complete![𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐇 (𝐌𝐘 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄) || 𝐍𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐫𝐚 𝐑𝐢𝐤𝐢 [✔️]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/389567802-256-k75485.jpg)
𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐇 (𝐌𝐘 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄) || 𝐍𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐫𝐚 𝐑𝐢𝐤𝐢 [✔️]
Nishimura Riki and Ryu Sohee. Two names that guaranteed disaster. Next-door neighbors since birth. Childhood rivals by default. The only two people in the entire neighborhood who somehow didn't get along while their families acted like one big happy unit. If anything, their parents adored each other-weekend barbecues, holiday trips, even matching family shirts at reunions. But Niki and Sohee? They were different. What started as stolen crayons and broken sandcastles turned into spitballs in middle school, which then evolved into a full-blown war by high school. Now, in their final year, they were practically the school's most infamous duo-constantly at each other's throats, always five seconds away from a murder attempt. The school's Basketball Team Captain vs. the Cheerleading Team Captain. A never-ending battle of insults, pranks, and power struggles. Teachers had stopped trying to separate them. Students placed bets on their next argument. No one could tell if they truly hated each other or if they were just too stubborn to admit whatever else was brewing beneath the surface. One thing was certain: If Nishimura Riki and Ryu Sohee were in the same room, peace was never an option. --- "Shut up!" "Make me!" "Your wish." Niki yanked her close. She gasped, barely registering when his lips crashed onto hers-hot, demanding, a battle in itself. For a second, she forgot to hate him. Then reality hit. She shoved him away, wiping her lips. "Never again." Niki smirked. "Keep telling yourself that." Game on. (Extended summary inside..) ---- A chaotic love story of two people who are too cool to be normal, too weird to care. ©Xia_Taex ❥ 𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐇 (𝐌𝐘 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄) Will Begin Now <3Complete
