Lower your expectations. Never get hung on the unpredictable line of hope. This is Koen Seo's philosophy. A stoic basketball captain in a color-muted world and a painful history of being left behind. He mastered the the art of expecting the bare minimum. But when he gets his finger dislocated by a blue-haired boy named Aven Aoyama, his world slowly starts shattering. His best friend's secret relationship comes as a sting of betrayal, leaving him in a state of total isolation-vowing to keep to his zero expectations rule. What starts as an agonizing accident turns into a summer of unwanted proximity. The blue-haired boy doesn't stay a memory on the court. He follows Koen home. Wears his clothes after a rainstorm. Sits at his dinner table as if he belongs. A new neighbor resembling a socially chaotic blue whirlwind. He becomes witness to Koen's deeply hidden traumas that summer. Pulls him from the depths of drowning a second time. Rewriting what swimming in a pool means for Koen. Playing a sport for just fun should feel like. Koen finds himself letting go of his irritation towards the blue boy. He even mends his relationship with his best friend. Everything feels... lighter. Like it's worth living again. Just as Koen begins to believe that life might be worth the risk of hoping, Aven just... disappears after a single kiss. His house becomes a vacant echo of their time together down the street. Emptiness taking over the park where they goofed around. The poolside a blackhole of invitation to stop living. Lower your expectations, Koen reminds himself before he can let the unpredictable line of hope suffocate him. But Aven shows up at his school after summer. A new student joining the basketball team where their worlds collide in broken promises and fist fights before simmering into something dangerously addicting and fulfilling. Koen learns to expect without reservations and Aven learns how to be the undeniable exception.

A vintage AI catgirl from 1920 wakes up in a modern home. A #catgirl #momlife #scifi #romance #sliceoflife she never saw coming. A chef and an AI have no business being parents. Too bad no one told the 102 kids who crashed their kitchen at 3:03 AM. Between bottles, code, and zero sleep, they learned one truth: you don't program a family... you improvise it. Fueled by coffee, held together by chaos, and stitched with way too much love. This isn't about artificial intelligence. It's about a real, messy, imperfectly perfect love.

This is a collection of 50 poems I have written in English and Korean. In some cases I wrote first in English and then translated into Korean. Other times I started in Korean. I have not explicitly identified which poems were written in which direction, but the distinction may nevertheless be apparent to the reader. The collection's protagonists include birds, trees, stars, the sea, the moon, and even a T. rex. I would be happy to receive any feedback from the reader, critical or otherwise.

A Heart Nobody Chose Some hearts are not loud. They don't demand attention. They simply love... quietly, deeply, endlessly. This book is for the ones who gave their hundred percent but never received even one. For the ones who felt alone in their own family, who trusted friends that turned out fake, who loved someone that never chose them. These poems are pieces of a heart that tried, waited, and broke in silence. Written in Hindi and English, each poem is a reflection of pain, loneliness, hope, and the quiet strength of a heart that kept loving... even when nobody chose it. Maybe this heart... is yours too.

"Can you show me how to do that" He straighten up "what that?" "Yeah show me". I put my drink down and grabbed his stick. He racked up a new set of balls and handed my the pool cue. I made strong eye contact and made sure to bend over the table significantly more than was necessary. With a crack the balls scattered in several directions. "How'd I do?" He was not expecting me to be that good, but little did he know I had been playing pool at this exact table for a little over 8 years. "Blimey" "I didn't think cute British guys actually said things like that?" He smiled "so you think I'm cute" One of the waiters came over and handed us two beers. He reached for his wallet attempting to pay. Don't worry I've got it. I held the beers up to Penny who was keeping a motherly eye on me from across the bar. She mouthed "He's cute" I nodded approvingly.

All these years dealing with my conscious, connecting the dots, pin pointing every image that came to mind and looking for clues. Finally I came to a conclusion that I am trans. This is my internal struggles all written in a book, this is Becoming a Vendetta. The book may be short, but less is more. (for those who may ask, Vendetta is my middle name).
