Emily came to Seoul to escape a life already written for her.
Joon showed her quiet hills in a loud city.
Somewhere between cherry blossoms and military service,
between text messages across oceans and promises neither could keep-
they learned that some loves don't fit into anyone's expectations.
Not her family's.
Not his country's.
Not even their own.
---
A dual POV slow-burn romance about choosing yourself
when the world has already chosen for you.
🌸 Seoul spring to autumn leaves
💔 Cross-cultural love and family expectations
⏰ 14-hour time difference, one conversation
🇰🇷 Han River nights and Alabama moonlight
Updates: Mon/Wed/Fri
This is not a party romance-this is a love letter to Seoul, to choice, and to people who see you when you stop performing.

Originally I was just going to do one oneshot. But I have so many ideas, I'm going to turn it into a collection!
I hope you enjoy!
