Romance | Slice of Life | Healing

A healing, slow-burn romance where love finds its way through exhaustion, warmth, and chaos.

After burning out from a relentless cycle of work and self-sacrifice, she never expected her world to collide with someone like Mingyu - a man with a disarming smile, a hidden tenderness, and more patience than she thought she deserved. 

What begins as a friendship wrapped in shared exhaustion slowly unfolds into something more intimate: two tired souls finding comfort in each other's silence, laughter in each other's habits, and healing in each other's arms.

As they navigate health scares, family complexities, and the subtle gravity of falling deeply in love, they create a world just big enough for the two of them - filled with folded laundry, late-night ramyeon, and arguments over absurd Google searches. But just as life begins to settle into this newfound warmth, an unexpected twist shakes their quiet routine.

Neither ready, both terrified, yet somehow grounded in the fact that if they're together, they'll make it work - this is a story about slow mornings, deep scars, soft recoveries, and a love that grows wildly even in the calm.All Rights Reserved

Winter in His Heart || Solo Leveling AU by CaribbeanQxeen

In the bustling city of Seoul, Yoon Hana, a 25-year-old woman with a warm smile and a quiet resilience, has always believed life is best lived simply. After years of working odd jobs to support her younger sister through school, she finally lands a stable position as a live-in nanny for a young boy named Sung Suho, the bright but lonely son of an enigmatic tech CEO. Her employer? Sung Jinwoo, 30 years old, CEO of one of Korea's fastest-growing AI companies-and a man wrapped in layers of silence and sorrow. Three years ago, Jinwoo lost his wife, Cha Hae-In, to a tragic car accident. Since then, he's buried himself in work, shielding his grief behind cold professionalism and long hours. He's a brilliant father but a distant one-present in body, but miles away in spirit. Suho, five years old and precocious beyond his years, has learned to smile through the ache, but his heart longs for warmth. When Hana enters their lives, she brings more than just structure and bedtime stories. She brings laughter back into Suho's world... and, unknowingly, begins to thaw the frozen corners of Jinwoo's heart. But falling in love with a man still mourning his wife is never simple. As Hana navigates the fine lines between professionalism and emotion, she finds herself caught between guilt, longing, and the ache of something unspoken. And Jinwoo must face the question he's long avoided: can he open his heart again without betraying the memory of the woman he once loved?

A story of love's most brutal act: Letting go, so the one you cherish can soar. "Hate me all you want. I only want you to hate me, mingyu." -won Summary: For 13 years, Wonwoo and Mingyu's love was a quiet supernova-many years of shared breaths, dreams, and a promise to rise together. Mingyu, the aspiring actor with a heart too big for his small-town life, leaned on Wonwoo's steady warmth through every rejection and empty audition. But when Mingyu's career finally began to flicker-a minor role leading to bigger opportunities -Wonwoo vanished. Wonwoo shattered their shared sky. He left abruptly, coldly saying, "I can't waste my life on your delusions anymore. Let's break up." Devastated, Mingyu channeled his heartbreak into his craft, transforming into a celebrated actor whose name lights up marquees. Yet behind his dazzling smile lingers the ghost of the man who abandoned him at his lowest. Unbeknownst to Mingyu, Wonwoo's cruelty was a lie-a desperate gambit to shield him from a devastating truth. Diagnosed with terminal cancer, Wonwoo chose to bear the weight of hatred alone, believing Mingyu's dreams would die if he stayed. "Let him fly," he'd think, watching Mingyu's interviews from a hospital bed, "even if I'm just a shadow in his sky." #1 Minwon 🏆🥰

Illicit Fire by writerrain04

#book II in Fire Series They say to never remember the past that broke you, but for Choi Mingyu, the past was not a burden to forget, but a relentless, burning obsession. His scars, etched deep into his skin and soul, were the brutal, stark reminders of the tyrant he had become. He craved nothing less than to watch the world burn-a pyre ignited solely for his vengeance, his name whispered in fear across continents. Ruthless, cunning, and a self-proclaimed blood-hungry monster, Mingyu lived his truth as a darkness incarnate, his existence a meticulously crafted system built on absolute control and calculated destruction. He commanded, and the world obeyed. Then, into his carefully constructed darkness, crashed Jeon Wonwoo, the Solace. Wonwoo, possessing a deceptive purity and an untamed, independent soul, was an artist whose brushstrokes wove vibrant hues into the lives of others. His soul-soothing paintings were a balm to weary spirits, yet even this beacon of light was tethered to a history that refused to release its grip, its lingering shadows making him tragically vulnerable and deeply afraid. What unholy obsession will unfold when the man who thrives on absolute control-the Obsidian King who demands every facet of existence bend to his will-becomes utterly consumed by a free bird who only wants to soar without fear? This is not romance; this is a destructive collision where possession is the highest form of worship, and the lines between desire and devastation are erased entirely, threatening to shatter the Solace for good. releasing on 15/11/2025

Re-Start by Sophisticakes_17

The first time Mingyu saw him was when he was walking home from the last day of school, a day before his winter break, to be precise. It was as if he was looking in the mirror. Stone-cold eyes that looked like he was dead on the inside, a moving shell with no soul attached, an invisible wall around him that closed himself away from other people. Mingyu knows those eyes for they were akin to his. Perhaps that is why the image of the man never left his mind, even after several seasons have passed. Somewhere, out there, there is a person who is as broken as he is, the thought makes him less lonely. Yet, the day when the very man comes to look for him again, he appears with a smile, bringing the first hint of spring's warmth with him. One of his hands is stretched, waiting for Mingyu to reach it and engulf it in a foreign sense of tenderness. Mingyu almost failed to recognize him, because the man no longer reminded him of the dreary, cold winter night. He is but a radiant, lukewarm spring. With a voice so gentle, almost wary, he speaks; "Hello, Mingyu. Would you like to come home with me?"

Forget Me Not ( Daniela Avanzini x femreader) by Scker_4LatinasWHAH

Y/N grew up in a world where money was never scarce but affection always was. A college student from an average but comfortable family, she lives alone, her parents' support measured in bank transfers rather than warmth. Surrounded by books and routines, she carries herself like someone present in body but absent in spirit, never really knowing what it feels like to be truly seen. Then one night, in a small café lit by amber lamps and the hum of chatter, she notices her. Daniela Avanzini-dark brown hair tied back, hazel eyes bright even under exhaustion, a barista with a smile that somehow reaches further than the walls of the shop. Daniela's world is the opposite of Y/N's, money tight, responsibilities endless, but love abundant, her family's unwavering support stitched into every sacrifice she makes. Neither of them speak at first, but something lingers in the air between them. A glance too long, a smile too soft, the unshakable sense of déjà vu. Like they already knew each other in another life. As their paths intertwine. Quiet orders at the counter turning into conversations, then something deeper-they begin to discover the kind of happiness and warmth they both craved but never thought they'd find. But when Daniela's future is threatened by financial struggles that could send her back to her home country, they're forced to face the hardest question of all: Can love survive distance, or are some things never meant to last?
