    "Incompletion is the very thing that makes a love story complete." He said it - calmly, rationally - but somewhere deep inside, he hoped it wasn't true. He was logical, precise - a man who dissected his way to truth. She was sharp, intuitive - a girl who felt her way through the world, and sometimes, beyond it. Both carried their pasts like shadows stitched to their skin. One was still hiding. The other, still healing. When they met, something unfolded - not like fireworks, but like a quiet room filling slowly with light.

    [Complete overhaul ongoing as of 11/7/25] Sakai Keichi has always been the wingman, the shadow helping his best friend chase girls in an empty cycle of double dates and practiced smiles. He lets himself fade into the background. Until he meets a girl who smells of rain, and for the first time, he wants to be seen. But wanting something for yourself comes with a price. And in the space of a perfect summer, it all falls apart. Keichi learns that sometimes, beauty only exists because it doesn't last. Some people leave. Some stay. And some teach you that even halcyon days must end. \ A poetic coming-of-age told in minimalist, cinematic fragments, Wingman lingers on the small, transient moments that define youth-and the feeling of quiet yearning. --- (c) Credit of cover goes to artist of the drawing. Everything else, I edited on.

    Andrea Song never planned to fall in love---especially not on camera. But when her best friend Lila Cho pushes her into the reality dating show "Perfect Match" for a last-minute replacement, Andrea "reluctantly" enters the set full of charm, nerves, and ambition. What better way is there than to throw an ambitious junior marketer into the spotlight for an alleged love experiment? Cameras rolling, Andrea finds herself paired with Indie musician Julian Vale, who wants nothing to do with scripted romance-but that is what the show is all about. They're told to perform in front of millions to convince them that they are in love. Madly, in love. But as the show progresses and drama intensifies, somewhere between retakes, glances, whispers, and eye contact, Andrea begins to wonder what is real. And as the line between reality and reality TV blurs, she needed to make up her mind quickly-what was worth keeping after the show, and what wasn't.

    THE COLOUR OF SILENCE drifts into the spaces where words dissolve and feelings breathe in hush tones. This is a sanctuary for the emotions we never learned to speak-quiet bruises, trembling hopes, memories that sit like unopened letters in the chest. Here, silence is not emptiness; it is a palette-soft greys of longing, midnight blues of ache, gold flickers of fragile resilience. Each poem bends toward the unvoiced, tracing the echo of what was meant, what was lost, what still lingers in the quiet. These pages hold sighs instead of sentences, pauses instead of proclamations; they ache, they glow, they listen. This collection is an intimate journey through the landscapes of stillness-where heartbreak softens into grace, solitude blooms into understanding & every unsaid word grows luminous beneath the gentle weight of healing. In this book, silence is not the absence of sound- it is the birthplace of truth, tenderness & rebirth.

    Seventeen-year-old Inara Solace has always found comfort in quiet corners - notebooks, music, and skies that never stop changing. When she meets Elias Rowan, the new boy with messy blond hair and wild ideas, her carefully built world tilts. Elias is everything she isn't - spontaneous, magnetic, full of restless energy. He takes her to hidden rooftops, teaches her that love doesn't have to be perfect to be real, and promises her that some souls are meant to find each other. Their love story feels endless - until the night it ends. A car crash. A silence too heavy to break. And suddenly, Inara is left with nothing but memories, a half-written letter, and the unbearable question: how do you live when your reason for living is gone? As seasons change, she learns to walk through grief one heartbeat at a time - through guilt, through forgiveness, through learning that maybe loving someone isn't about holding on, but learning how to let go. Before the Fall is the beginning of a love story told in three parts - about the people who change us, the ones we lose, and the second chances we never see coming.

    It didn't begin with rain or thunder-just an ordinary moment Immy almost ignored: a glance held a heartbeat too long, a silence that felt like it knew her, and a warmth she had no reason to feel. Harry slipped into her life quietly, steady enough to trust yet distant enough to bruise, his eyes soft and guarded like he carried a truth he refused to name. Every look felt like a confession, every withdrawal like a warning, leaving Immy unsure if she was imagining the pull between them or if it was real enough to ruin her. He would turn away only to fall back into her orbit, leaving her heart leaning toward something that might be everything or nothing at all. How do you walk away from something that feels dangerous, fragile, and already a little too much?
