Letters to the Sea
Every summer, Do-Hyun returns to a quiet coastal town where his childhood best friend, Jihoon, drowned years ago. Haunted by loss and memories, he writes letters to Jihoon and casts them into the sea in bottles-his only way of speaking to a ghost that never answers.
But one summer, a boy named Hyun-Woo appears, carrying one of the letters. Gentle, mysterious, and strangely familiar, Hyun-Woo begins to stay with Do-Hyun at the old lighthouse, helping him fix what time has worn down-both around him and within.
As the summer deepens, so does their bond. Yet beneath Hyun-Woo's soft smiles lies a quiet sorrow, and the truth Do-Hyun has buried begins to rise with the tide. Because not everything found in the sea was meant to stay.
A story of grief, healing, and the love that lingers between the living and the lost.

You are Paradise | Yoshi x Junghwan | boy x boy | treasure ship
They were once inseparable - childhood best friends who shared laughter, secrets, and dreams. But time and distance can change everything. What was once warm turned cold, what was once familiar became distant. Years later, fate - or perhaps their grandparents' wish - ties them together once again, this time through marriage. Yoshi, the quiet perfectionist and renowned music producer, spends his days lost in melodies. Junghwan, the free-spirited artist, paints emotions that words can't capture. Two souls, once close and now strangers, are forced to share the same home... and maybe, rediscover what they lost along the way. Between unspoken memories, late-night silences, teasing friends, and quiet acts of care, something begins to shift. Not love - not yet. But something gentler. Something that feels like healing. Because sometimes, paradise isn't found in places or promises - It's found in the person you thought you'd lost forever.
🌸 The Echo of Us 🌙 Minsung
{SHORT CHAPTERS} Jisung speaks in verses. Minho moves in silence. One finds beauty in ink, the other in motion-and when their worlds collide, it feels like fate has stitched two souls into the same rhythm. Beneath cherry blossoms and silver skies, their love blooms in secret-poems written on fallen petals, dances performed in empty studios, kisses stolen in the rain. But the world is unkind to hearts that beat against tradition. Whispers turn to warnings, promises turn to silence, and the lovers are forced to choose between duty and desire. In a city that never pauses, their story becomes a quiet rebellion-fragile, fleeting, unforgettable. For even as time pulls them apart, their love lingers in the verses Jisung cannot read aloud and the dances Minho cannot perform on stage. Some love stories are not destined to last forever... yet they echo endlessly, long after the final page is turned.
