Set in the neon haze of early-'80s London, Simon Le Bon is restless - dinners bore him, pubs can't hold him, and the only thing that seems to spark his interest is her: a mysterious young woman who insists she prefers solitude over his larger-than-life charm. What begins as cheeky interruptions soon spirals into late-night chases through rain-soaked streets, sharp banter in crowded pubs, and the kind of stubborn tension only Simon could find intoxicating. A battle of wit, patience, and persistence unfolds - until she finally lets him in.

Kim Yeorin thought he had everything figured out-top grades, loyal friends, and a simple, predictable life. But when college brings him back under the same roof with his childhood best friend, Seo Leonhyun, things start to feel... different. Leonhyun, calm and quietly dependable, has been hiding one truth for years: he's in love with Yeorin. But Yeorin, despite being sharp in everything else, is hopelessly clueless when it comes to love-especially when it's directed at him. Between late-night dorm talks, stolen glances, and the endless teasing of their Filipino childhood friend, Sara, Yeorin begins to realize that friendship isn't always as simple as it seems. But what happens when comfort crosses into something deeper? When the bond he's always known starts to feel like something else-something he's not ready for? In the end, Yeorin may just learn that love has a way of catching you... completely off guard.

✨STARLIGHT 𝘢𝘯𝘥 STARDUST✨
Dark silk sheets tangled with morning light. The metallic glint of cufflinks against tanned skin. A slow smirk that feels like a dare. Champagne fizzing in crystal glasses while the city glows beneath the skyline. Her perfume on his suit. His cologne on her skin. Hands that command. Eyes that claim. Words that burn. Power isn't just in the boardroom here-it's in every glance, every touch, every dangerously close breath. This is a world where passion is weaponized, where desire feels like sin, and where the line between control and surrender blurs until you can't tell if you're falling in love or falling into the flames.
Halfway Home
Francesca Grey thought she'd finally escaped the perfect little town that never really knew her. Three years in Los Angeles taught her how to breathe again - how to be invisible, free, and entirely her own. But when an invitation arrives for her father's wedding - to a twenty-one-year-old woman she's never met - Frankie finds herself driving back toward the life she swore she'd left behind. What she doesn't expect is for the return to stir everything she thought she'd buried - memories of her mother, the weight of who she used to be, and the quiet ache of belonging she's never quite found. And then there's her. Someone unexpected. Someone who sees her in the way the town never could - not as who she was, but who she might still become. In a town where every face remembers her past, Frankie must decide whether home is a place she escaped... or a person she's just beginning to know.
