Before I Decay
"Behind perfection lurks the rot-before the unraveling, there was the first crack." Reira Kenmochi has the perfect life on paper-wealth, prestige, and parents who demand nothing less than perfection. But beneath the polished surface, she's a girl suffocating under their control, hungry for something real. When three boys stumble into her world, rebellion takes root-and every secret she hides pushes her closer to a decay she can't escape. Before the lights and the stage. Before the fame and the fractures. There was only the girl who refused to be contained. Reira Kenmochi has everything money can buy: a driver waiting at the gates, a family name that opens doors, and parents with a future carved out for her in stone. But the new school in Kanagawa feels like a cage, and Reira has no intention of playing the obedient daughter. With a black wig, piercings, and a sharp smile, she slips between the lines of who she's supposed to be and who she really is. It doesn't take long before three boys-charismatic, curious, and just as restless as she is-are caught in her orbit. With them, she tastes freedom, rebellion, and danger for the first time. But every secret she keeps pulls her closer to the edge of exposure, and every choice she makes threatens to crack the perfect image her parents demand she maintain. This is where the story begins: before the unraveling, before the final act- this is Before I Decay.
The Rabbit's Liver
Naomi Ayase thought the hardest part was losing her mother. She was wrong. Now trapped in the opulent Amamiya estate, the girl finds herself under the "protective" care of her stepfather-Ryuji Amamiya, a powerful yakuza boss who treats her like precious, fragile cargo. What began as temporary guardianship has stretched into a year of isolation, private tutors, and increasingly suffocating concern for her "safety." As Naomi finally begins to emerge from her grief, she realizes the truth: Ryuji has no intention of letting her go. Ever. His gentle words and paternal touches carry an undercurrent she can't quite name, and his promises of protection feel more like threats with each passing day. Desperate to escape to college in America, Naomi begins plotting her freedom. But she's underestimated her opponent. Ryuji didn't become the head of a centuries-old criminal organization by letting what he covets slip away-and he's decided that includes his late wife's daughter. ➽──────────────❥ You can expect: Yakuza doing Actual Yakuza Things (TM), Yakuza members trying to uncles/brothers/dads, ruthless rich kids, hurt/comfort and unlikely friendships. ➽──────────────❥ Title is from the Korean folktale by the same name.![ALEOSCAR'S OBSESSION [DREAME APP]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/308197726-256-k763205.jpg)

The Swailing
Ember Hadley has spent every sheltered and boring minute of her 17 years in Optima, one of the independent sovereigns formed after the inevitable collapse of the U.S. federal government. Optima fiercely safeguards the health and safety of its citizens to the point where driving is illegal, handshakes are frowned upon, and every bite of food is closely tracked and monitored. To the point where restless Ember often engages in "listed" activities just to prove that she does, indeed, still have a pulse. When Ember discovers that her mother is not dead, as she has always been told, and that she has a twin brother she doesn't remember, she sets out on a journey to find them. She hires Finn, a travel guide of sorts with his own desperate motives, to help her navigate across the very fractured former United States. After a rocky start of broken trust, they travel together through regions of stubborn extremism including the anarchist West, the consumerist Midwest, the religious South, and the socialist East. Each sovereign has become an unfortunate stereotype, but a stereotype of its own careful design. Through her search for her lost family, her introduction to unfamiliar cultures, and her emerging relationship with Finn, Ember learns a whole lot about herself, and a little something about love.Complete
