In the distant future, three of the world's brightest young historians-Seulgi, Wendy, and Eun-Ssaem-are recruited by the prestigious ReVe Museum of Lost Civilizations. Their assignment: study a mysterious painting hidden deep within the museum's restricted wing. The artwork is unsigned, undated, and unlike anything they've ever seen-three women rendered in impossible detail, their eyes haunting, their presence magnetic.
Each day, drawn back to the room by an unexplainable pull and the echo of a love song that plays only in their presence, the trio find themselves falling-not just for the mystery, but for the women in the painting themselves. Quietly, hopelessly, irrevocably.
But the past doesn't like to be watched. And this portrait is more than just oil and canvas.
As the veil between time and memory begins to crack, the three researchers are swept into a reality that defies every law they once believed. Because some stories are not found in history books-some love stories are trapped in time, waiting for the right hearts to set them free.
"The Portrait Paradox" is a genre-bending sci-fi romance about fate, longing, and the strange gravity of a love that refuses to stay buried.

Right Where You Left Me
Four women. Two great loves. One endless ache. Irene and Jennie are picture-perfect-an enviable love built on shared ambition, sharp stilettos, and silent wars. Behind closed doors, their kisses taste like apologies, and their touch is more punishment than a promise. Neither will leave first. Both are already gone. Seulgi and Jisoo are quieter. Softer. The kind of love that grows like ivy, unnoticed until it strangles everything else. They love each other kindly, and yet they still find a way to fall apart. When betrayal and fate begin to pull them all in opposite directions, hearts fracture and lines blur. Lovers become strangers. Strangers become something terrifyingly close to soulmates. But this isn't a story of healing. This is a story of wreckage. Of people trying to love each other after the damage is already done. Of timing that never quite aligns. Of hands that hold too tightly, or not at all. Of women who find each other again-when it's almost too late. In a world where love comes wrapped in regret, some souls are not meant to be saved. Only remembered.Complete
