Moving to a new place wasn't really part of Nova's big life plan but when her university offered her a year abroad in Seoul, she couldn't say no. It was supposed to be simple: study, work a little, and maybe find a sense of peace far away from the pieces of her old life.
She never expected to end up in a tiny flower shop tucked between a café and a bookstore or to find comfort in the quiet routine of petals, sunlight, and soft music. For a while, that was enough.
Until he walked in.
A polite smile, a simple order for a bouquet, and a conversation that left her wondering why his voice lingered in her mind hours later. What Nova doesn't realize is that the stranger with the gentle eyes isn't just anyone and that one innocent encounter will begin to change everything.
When her flowers unexpectedly go viral, Nova's small world collides with his very public one.
Suddenly, she's caught between who she used to be and who she's becoming between staying invisible or letting herself be seen.
In a city that never stops moving, two people from completely different worlds slowly find each other in the quietest way possible.
Because sometimes, love doesn't bloom in the spotlight it grows in secret. 🌷

Veiled In Ice, Heart So Fragile ♡
The world had always been a distant blur to Taehyung-something he observed from behind a thick glass, never quite stepping in. He existed, but he never truly lived. People admired him from afar, whispered his name like he was some untouchable mystery, yet none dared to look beyond the ice-cold walls he had built around himself. But then, there was her. Y/N didn't demand his attention, nor did she attempt to shatter the barriers he had so carefully placed. She simply existed, quietly, effortlessly, as if she had no idea, she had just tilted his world off its axis. For the first time in years, Taehyung found himself drawn toward something-or rather, someone-without fully understanding why. It started with stolen glances-brief, unintentional, yet impossible to ignore. Fleeting moments where their worlds momentarily aligned, leaving behind an unspoken question neither dared to answer. She wasn't like the others. She didn't chase after him, didn't try to unravel the mystery he had become. "And yet, somehow, she was the only one who made the walls he built feel less like a shield and more like a cage." But was she just another distraction... or was she the one who could finally break through his walls? #7 in heartthrob (5th April) #1 in heartthrob #3 in heartthrob #1 best friends to lovers #1 in kthComplete
Summer Memories
Yoona's summer plans were simple: survive the history exam, avoid awkward small talk, and recharge by the sea with a good book. Falling for her brother's best friend? Not on the agenda. But when quiet, bookish Nate offers to help her study, late-night cramming sessions turn into beach walks, stolen glances, and something she never expected-real connection. Between heart-to-hearts under the stars and slow, tender moments that make her chest ache, Yoona starts to wonder if this summer might mean something more. As college approaches and the end of summer looms, friendships shift, love blooms, and secrets unravel-including one that could change everything about the bet they made during the first week at the beach... "I knew that if I wanted to make a move, this was the moment. I snuck a glance at her-her skin glowed under the soft radiance of the lanterns' flickering light. She looked so beautiful. I didn't want to ruin it by saying anything. Instead, I looked down at her hand. Slowly, I shifted mine toward hers, careful not to startle her. She seemed deep in thought, mesmerized by the beauty above us. My hand brushed against hers, then I pulled away instinctively-but when I reached out again, this time a bit more bravely, she didn't retreat. Instead, she moved closer. And when our fingers finally intertwined, I closed my eyes and let the happiness rush through me. The tension in my chest evaporated, and I finally exhaled."

Shen Quanrui, the beautiful and brilliant doctor who treated Jiwoong's grandfather, believes love isn't meant for him, haunted by his own past. A will ties their fates together in secret-a marriage hidden from the world, born of obligation rather than affection. But within the walls of the Kim mansion, in quiet moments between morning teas, shared hallways, some teasing from the members and thunderstorms that rattle the windows, two guarded hearts begin to find love with in each other. A family that slowly started loving the new member more than anything else. No grand declarations. No dramatic confessions. Just the gentle unfolding of something real-because sometimes, love isn't loud. Sometimes, love is simply staying. --- Here I am with another story of two souls healing something they didn't break...

Unrequited ||Han Jisung||
Falling in love is meant to be one of the best things you could ever hope to experience in life. Magical. Invigorating. Life changing. At least that was what Dex had always believed anyway. And maybe it would have been, if the object of your affection loved you back the way you loved them. But he isn't that lucky. For him it was torture, everyday pretending like his feelings meant nothing, like it wasn't killing him every time they smiled at someone else. Every time they laughed at someone else's jokes. Every time they kissed someone else the way you hoped they'd kiss you. And every time realising that it would never happen. Because they already loved someone else, someone that he already loved just as much. But that's the part they don't tell you about love - that's it's hard, complicated and hurts like hell. But no one ever said love was easy. And that was a lesson he was learning the hard way... A story about love, friendship and navigating complex emotions. {This is the first story in the Charmer spin-off series, based on Dex, one of the characters from my original story Charmer. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND READING MY CHARMER STORY BEFORE READING THIS FOR IT TO MAKE SENSE!} All characters in this story (and Charmer) are INSPIRED by actual people, but this is a fictional story. The actions / thoughts and beliefs of the characters in this story are NOT the same as those of the real life people and should not be considered as fact. They are fictional characters inspired by traits and characteristics of real people (as I interpret them), hence why names have been changed. Hope you enjoy. ⭐️⭐️long chapters ⭐️⭐️

A Cup with Your Name on It | Han Jisung
Jisung is exhausted. Burnt out from performing, from expectations, from being known by everyone but seen by no one. On a rainy morning in a city that never really slows down, he walks into a small café tucked between a laundromat and a closed-down bookstore - the kind of place that doesn't ask questions. Rin just wants to get through another shift without the espresso machine exploding or flooding the back sink. The café isn't fancy, but it's hers - a quiet routine, a rhythm she can live inside. She doesn't recognize the guy with the complicated coffee order and tired eyes, and when he comes back the next day, and the day after, she still doesn't ask. Between mismatched mugs, bad puns on chalkboards, after-hours cleanups, and silence that doesn't need filling, something grows. Something safe. Something real. She doesn't know who he is. He doesn't know she used to be someone else, too. But somehow, this café becomes a place neither of them want to leave. Even when the outside world catches up. ━━━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━━━━━ This is a soft slice-of-life friendship story set in a quiet café. It's platonic, grounded, and full of late-night vulnerability, awkward honesty, quiet defiance, and tea that says everything they won't. No romance. Just two people learning to be themselves - slowly, safely, together. A soft, platonic story about showing up, staying quiet, and finding home where you weren't looking for it. Thanks for reading. I hope this feels like a warm drink on a heavy day. ~CURRENTLY UNDER EDITING~Complete

"Why are you still here," his voice broke down the silence that spread around the room as soon as the signal went out again. "We don't have the luxury to hold grudges on each other. Besides," she said turning to him, "I know I'm a burden." (๑•́ ₃ •̀๑) A new girl moved to live in a quiet area of a dingy but warm space of Green Room Apartment to stay closer to her college.
