One day, they meet by chance-at a prestigious academic gala, a modeling competition, or maybe during a school exchange program. The resemblance is uncanny. The connection? Immediate... and disturbing. They learn the truth: twins separated at birth. But while the world may expect some heartfelt reunion... these two are oil and water. They don't get along-and the more time they spend together, the more secrets surface. One of them may be hiding something darker than the other ever imagined.

    "Nostalgia is a beautiful liar." Yui Hoshino spends her days replaying memories like a broken film reel-Akira's laughter, stargazing at the abandoned observatory, a friendship that once felt infinite. But when a notification for a "Three years ago today..." photo reveals how far Akira has moved on without her, Yui realizes she's become a ghost in her own life, haunting a past that no longer exists. Enter Hana, a relentlessly present lab partner who drags Yui into a world of chaotic cafΓ© card games, half-eaten croissants, and art-club doodles on napkins. As Yui fights to untangle herself from the highlight reels of "then," she confronts the hardest truth: clinging to ghosts won't resurrect what's gone, but letting go might finally let her breathe. A story for anyone who's ever scrolled too long through old photos, wondering why the present feels so hollow. For anyone who needs permission to close the museum of their past and step into the messy, uncertain, alive light of now

    Jin Hayama wakes with no memory and returns to Shinsei High-a fractured school once ruled by underground fight rings and his own iron reputation. Once feared as "the King," Jin is now a blank slate surrounded by silence, fear, and unfinished grudges. Old allies tread cautiously. Enemies circle back with vengeance. And a wall still bears his name- "Hayama the King"-a crown he no longer remembers earning. But absence hasn't erased the myth. As violence reignites in his name, Jin realizes that a legacy can be more dangerous than memory. While factions stir and fists fly, he's faced with a choice: reclaim the throne that poisoned him or destroy the image of power he left behind. Through bloodied knuckles, ghosted friendships, and the slow rebuilding of trust, Jin chooses to fight-not for dominance, but for the right to walk away from who he was. Because sometimes, the most dangerous thing isn't forgetting who you are... it's becoming who everyone else remembers.

    Elara Hale grew up with music in her bones and silence in her story. Raised by a devoted father and haunted by the absence of the mother who vanished just after her birth, Elara pours her longing into the strings of her violin-each note a question she was too afraid to ask. But when a letter arrives on her eighteenth birthday from the woman who left, everything Elara thought she'd accepted begins to unravel. Liana Hale was once a girl who dreamed of being the kind of mother she never had. But when postpartum darkness threatened to consume her, she walked away-believing absence might be the only way to protect her daughter. Now, years later, she asks for only one thing: a chance to explain. As past and present collide beneath an old sycamore tree, Elara must decide whether knowing the truth will help her move forward-or reopen wounds she's worked so hard to heal. Told with lyrical prose and aching honesty, Becoming, Still is a tender novel about grief, reconnection, and the courage it takes to meet someone where they are-not where you needed them to be. It's a story of the love that stays, the love that returns, and the music that fills the silence between.

    Asher believed in commitment. Savannah believed in keeping her options open. When Savannah suggested they explore an open relationship, Asher agreed-not because he wanted to, but because he was afraid not to. He silenced the growing discomfort inside him, chalking it up to temporary tension. But when he overhears Savannah confessing to a friend that she's no longer in love with him, describing him as nothing more than "safe" and "convenient," the truth hits hard. Instead of confronting her in anger, Asher makes a different choice. He shifts inward. Not to retreat-but to remember who he is. He rebuilds his sense of self from the inside out, reigniting friendships, reconnecting with who he was before the relationship dulled his edges, and slowly forming a deeper bond with someone who sees him for who he truly is. Savannah, watching from the sidelines, begins to realize the weight of what she gave up. Her spiral is quiet but undeniable. Through brutal honesty from those around her and sessions in therapy, she is forced to reckon with the cost of her decisions-and the assumptions that kept her blind. This is a story about what happens when love becomes conditional, when trust is tested, and when one person reclaims the dignity they were once willing to give away for the sake of holding on. It's not about revenge. It's about clarity. Growth. And choosing peace over performance. Told in alternating points of view, this emotionally raw contemporary drama navigates the psychological unraveling of a fractured relationship, the complexity of healing, and the quiet strength it takes to walk away from what no longer serves you.

    "Are you really fine?" For Rei Hoshikawa, smiling has become a chore. At 17, she's mastered the art of hiding-behind half-hearted grins, whispered "I'm fines," and the quiet hum of everyday routines. But when her mother's illness worsens, her father disappears into work, and the cracks in her carefully built facade begin to show, Rei finds herself drowning in a loneliness she can't name. Enter Kaito Akira, her childhood friend who knows her better than she knows herself. He sees the emptiness in her eyes, the weight of her unspoken words, and the way her laughter rings just a little too hollow. When he confronts her with a simple question one rainy afternoon, Rei is forced to confront the storm she's been burying: What if "fine" is just a lie we tell to survive? The Weight of Smiles is a poignant, achingly relatable story about the masks we wear, the courage it takes to be vulnerable, and the quiet hope that even the heaviest hearts can heal. Set against a backdrop of rustling autumn leaves, rain-soaked streets, and the fragile beauty of fleeting moments, this introspective journey asks: Can someone truly see you when you've forgotten how to be seen? This story doesn't promise easy answers or fairy-tale endings-just the bittersweet comfort of knowing you're not alone in the dark.
