Closer To You [jikook]
In the quiet spaces between words and silences, they stumble, two fractured souls reaching through the dark. Burnt mornings, tangled nights, and the weight of all the things left unsaid. Love here isn't a gentle flame, it's a storm, fierce and fragile, pulling them closer even as it threatens to tear them apart. This is a story of scars and surrender, of fragile hope whispered beneath broken breaths, and the endless ache of wanting someone to stay .. even when it feels impossible. Closer. Always closer.Complete
Even After Eden
She thought grace was out of reach- until a boy who prayed in quiet found her in the ruins. He didn't try to fix her. He just stayed. And somehow, staying became healing. Because love doesn't always arrive loud- sometimes it kneels, waits, and believes. And sometimes, God writes the softest love stories in the shadows.
Married without a Heart

Faith
A young woman's escape to the coast becomes a quiet reckoning with emotional unavailability, self-betrayal, and the long road back to believing she is enough. Faith is a tender, introspective novel, a story about learning that belief is not blind hope, but the courage to remain open. In the end, her name becomes her truth - a reminder that the greatest act of love is to never stop believing, even when it hurts. - This story explores themes that may feel intense or emotionally challenging at times.

so we can make it back
"loving her was inevitable. terrifying. the only thing that made sense." She came back to the only place that ever felt like home - a weathered cottage on the edge of Pleasant Bay, where grief echoes in the floorboards and every tide feels like memory pulling at her ribs. He came here to disappear - a man with a voice the world knows, running from the noise of fame and the silence left by his best friend's absence. Two neighbors, both raw and unraveling, colliding in a town that sleeps through the winter. Coffee shared on porches. Smoke curling into salt air. Conversations that feel like confessions. And the question neither of them dares to say aloud: what if healing isn't solitude, but finding someone who sees you in the wreckage and stays? A story about grief, love, and the kind of intimacy that feels inevitable - soft as a song, sharp as salt air, and impossible to turn away from.

Eternal Whispers
Centuries ago, a kingdom fell in one night- and so did two souls who should have never been parted. Whispers say a king still waits in the dark, holding on to the memory of the one he called "little flame." Whispers say she walks the earth again, unaware of the fire she once carried and the man whose world once burned for her. When fate stirs, the past rises, and forgotten hearts begin to remember. Not all stories die. Some simply find new bodies to live in. Eternal Whispers - a tale where love returns even when memory does not.
A Heart Rewritten
I thought moving back to my father's country would be a fresh start-a chance to find myself in the place I was born but never really knew. I didn't expect to fall so fast for someone who would break me in ways I still struggle to name. What followed shattered everything: my trust, my voice, my sense of who I was. But this isn't just a story about pain. It's about the slow, quiet strength of rebuilding. About family in its most fragile form. About learning that healing isn't a straight line-and sometimes, love finds you when you're no longer looking for it. This is the story of how I got lost, how I came home, and how, one day, I looked in the mirror and finally recognized the girl staring back.
