Love? Love is easy-it's like a walk in the park.
Except the park is on fire
And the ground is on fire. And the grass is on fire. And freakin' everything else is on fire. And the sky is black with smoke and you're weak-kneed and you can't breathe.
But you keep going anyway, you keep riding that bike. Because outside that park, it's cold. And you think the fire keeps you warm.

Closer To You [jikook]
In the quiet spaces between words and silences, they stumble, two fractured souls reaching through the dark. Burnt mornings, tangled nights, and the weight of all the things left unsaid. Love here isn't a gentle flame, it's a storm, fierce and fragile, pulling them closer even as it threatens to tear them apart. This is a story of scars and surrender, of fragile hope whispered beneath broken breaths, and the endless ache of wanting someone to stay .. even when it feels impossible. Closer. Always closer.Complete

They stopped being lovers long before they stopped being in love. This isn't a story about falling in love - it's about surviving after it ends. They let go of each other, but not the love. Love brought them together. The silence pulled them apart. They fell in love. They built a life. Then it all quietly fell apart. Inspired by Marriage Story - no heroes, just real people trying to let go.Complete
Where The Fireworks Felt Gentle
Three years ago, I thought I had everything - a relationship that looked perfect on the outside but slowly burned me from within. I was the girl who stayed, even when the silence between us was louder than any explosion in the sky. It started with a lie - a hidden account, a woman I was told not to worry about, and a month of being ghosted for simply asking why. I cried, begged, and convinced myself that love was meant to be endured, that pain was just proof of how much I cared. But love shouldn't feel like walking through smoke, trying to find someone who's already gone. Love shouldn't make you afraid of the noise. And yet, I stayed - blinded by the sparks that hurt more than they shined. Until one December night beneath a sky of bursting colors, someone stood beside me. The world was loud, but for the first time, I wasn't afraid. The fireworks that once made me flinch now felt soft, safe... gentle. That was the night everything changed. That was the night I learned what love was truly meant to feel like.
And Still, I loved you.
They were never supposed to meet again, but fate had other plans. They were never strangers. They just became people who knew everything about each other, Except how to fix what they broke. She loved him like it was the only thing keeping her from falling apart. He left like he couldn't feel it. Years passed. Cities changed. Names got softer on unfamiliar lips. But silence never erased the way they ended. And when fate threw them back into the same room, One bleeding, Other one breaking, The past didn't knock. It kicked the door down. This is not a story of falling in love. It's what happens after.
Close To You | Winrina
She watches her from the corner of the room. One glance. One night. And she's never been the same. What starts as silence turns into obsession. And what she feels? It might ruin them both. "I burn for you... and you don't even know my name." 🎧 Inspired by "Close to You" by Gracie Abrams A slow-burn, story about longing, surrender, and the danger of getting too close.Complete
What you never asked
"I pretend I never loved you I will pretend it was never the easiest thing to do I will pretend that I'm over it Pretend I am over you But no one has a fucking clue And I'll throw my popcorn away. Hide my face. Wipe away my tears. I wasn't special enough And that is alright by me." ------------------------ At this point this collection of poems is almost like a diary. I always hated poetry. I like people who are direct and honest. And that's how I prefer literature. I believed myself to be bad at double meanings and metaphors and hated pretty words to cover up the ugly reality. Yet, I found myself being fascinated by it. I think it's the most vulnerable side of me. Wanting to communicate through a medium I think little of and yet understands me. It has no structure. It can be messy and yet beautiful. It's allowed to be unpolished. Wrong quotations. Or even lacking any. At this point in my life I feel like everything I thought was right to be wrong and so maybe something wrong could be right. You haven't even asked for this. And still you know it now.
