A REMAKE / INSPIRATION OF 'The Summer Hikaru Died'
"I waited for you. But now I'm not sure if I should have."
Yoshiki and Hikaru were inseparable - childhood friends who ran through rice fields, dared each other into haunted shrines, and dreamed of escaping their small village together someday.
But one summer, Hikaru vanished into the forest... and something else came back wearing his face.
Now, the boy Yoshiki once loved has returned - smiling the same way, saying all the right things, remembering secrets only Hikaru could know. But his eyes are too dark. His touch too cold. And sometimes, when he thinks Yoshiki isn't looking... he forgets how to be human.
Caught between grief and longing, fear and love, Yoshiki must decide:
Is it better to hold on to a lie that loves you - or let go of the only part of him that came back?
A slow-burn horror romance where love lingers like a ghost, and the dead don't always stay buried.

When Ren Tsukishiro steps into the long-abandoned mansion on the hill, he doesn't expect to find anyone waiting. But among the cobwebs and whispers of the past, he meets Shion Shirakawa-a beautiful, ethereal boy with golden hair and a smile that carries centuries of sorrow. Shion is no ordinary presence; he is bound to the house, tethered by a fragment of his tragic death, unable to move on. Drawn together by curiosity and a force neither can name, Ren and Shion begin unraveling the mysteries buried within the mansion's rotting halls. Each clue leads them deeper into the shadows of Shion's forgotten past-poison, betrayal, and a cruel family secret the house itself seems determined to hide. But in the flicker of candlelight, amid the ghosts of the past, the two boys find something more than answers: a love so fragile and forbidden it feels destined to be broken. As Ren edges closer to the truth, he faces an impossible choice-free Shion and lose him forever, or risk everything, even his own life, to stay by his side. In a story woven with romance, horror, and the delicate beauty of fleeting moments, 'Fragile As Porcelain' asks: how far would you go to hold on to love, even against death itself? --- A quick warning that this book is indeed a boy's love or man-love-man story to those who find alarm in realising so once halfway through reading the book. If this is uncomfortable in any way, please do not read this book. Please let me know if any part of the story is too boring or too vague to be understood, I am willing to take feedback in order to improve. Thank you! :3Complete
Yours, still.
They weren't supposed to meet like this- on a swing, in a park, between coffee jitters and emotional damage. She wore a hoodie. He wore a smile that forgot things. And somewhere between the jokes, the near-death rescue, and the carved arrow... their story started telling itself again. Not everything was clear. Not every memory returned. But hearts? They tend to recognize each other- even when the brain hasn't caught up yet. And if an arrow appears- carved in wood, buried in stone- you follow it. Even if it leads straight back into the chaos.

ROOM 405
Room for One More.. There are places that hold their breath. You wouldn't notice it at first-just a draft that lingers too long, a shadow that flickers where light should fall clean. Room 405 was like that. Still. Watching. Waiting. The stories started small. Tenants waking with the sense that someone had been standing beside them, watching. Most brushed it off. Old buildings always had their quirks. But some things couldn't be explained away. The soft hum that echoed late at night, low and mournful. The books that tumbled from shelves. The boy glimpsed in the window, there one moment, gone the next-eyes dark, expression unreadable. They said the room was cursed. Haunted. That it wanted something. No one stayed long. Until Nani. He didn't believe in ghosts. Just needed a quiet place, something cheap and close to campus. He didn't ask why the landlord hesitated before handing over the key. He didn't notice the chill that crept in as the door closed behind him. But Room 405 did. And somewhere within its silence, something stirred. After all, it had been waiting. There was room for one more.Complete

I was never meant to stand out. Just a quiet guy in a crowded world-walking hallways, reading books I never cared about, watching people laugh from a distance. Then one day... she forgot her book in the library, Hana. She didn't say much. She never smiled. But for the first time, I saw someone who felt like a reflection of me - Alone. Detached. Tired. I don't know why I picked up her book, but I did. And that one, simple decision? It changed everything. This isn't some perfect love story. We didn't fall fast. We just... found each other-in the silence, in the grief, in the little moments most people overlook. This is about loneliness. About losing everything. About finding someone when you've stopped looking. And about learning to live, even when your days are numbered. This is our story. These are our... Unwritten Pages.Complete
