A continuation project inspired by The Four-Faced Buddha. Set after Chapter 44 ("I'll Teach You"), this story revisits Fan Xiao and You Shulang in the moments that follow-where silence lingers longer than words, and closeness begins to blur into something harder to name. What happens after "I'll Teach You" is not a clean continuation, but a slow unfolding of emotional tension, intimacy, and restraint beginning to fail in small, irreversible ways. Some moments were never meant to fit inside a single chapter. These are the scenes left behind-the ones that stayed too close, too quiet, too unresolved to end properly. This is an extra-chapter continuation meant to accompany The Four-Faced Buddha, not replace it. For the main storyline, please continue with the canon novel.

Some shadows refuse to let go. My orginal work. Don't copy!

A legend whispered through the city's underground. When an arranged marriage forces him into the estate of Kael Draven - one of the most feared alpha trade lords in the country - Auren expects another gilded cage. What he doesn't expect is an alpha who never tries to own him. Kael is patient where others were cruel. Gentle where the world taught Auren to expect violence. And terrifyingly willing to let him choose. But freedom has been Auren's only goal for years. One year. One contract. Then he's gone. At least... that was the plan. Because somewhere between stolen kisses, dangerous secrets, bloody aristocratic politics, and nights spent tangled safely in Kael's arms- Ghost Fox begins to wonder if there really is such a thing as home. And whether someone like him is allowed to stay long enough to find it.

Marco DeLuca's world is small by choice. He runs a gym in Astoria, takes care of everyone around him, and keeps his own life carefully contained between work, family, and routine. It's easier that way. Safer. No expectations. No heartbreak. No room for wanting more. Then his aunt arranges a blind date. Adrian Voss is everything Marco isn't prepared for-elegant, distant, impossibly composed, and very definitely a vampire. A centuries-old supernatural attorney with a reputation for icy control, Adrian has spent decades keeping the world at arm's length. People are complicated. Attachment is dangerous. Love is temporary. Neither man expects one awkward dinner to change anything. But somewhere between crowded Queens streets, late-night conversations, community center chaos, and the quiet gravity of being truly seen, something begins to grow between them-slow, tender, and impossible to ignore. As greedy developers threaten Marco's neighborhood and old wounds begin surfacing beneath the careful lives they've built, Marco and Adrian must decide whether love is worth the risk of letting someone close enough to change them forever. In a New York City where vampires, fae, werewolves, and humans coexist beneath the glow of subway lights and corner bodegas, I See You is a queer urban fantasy romance about found family, emotional intimacy, and the terrifying vulnerability of being loved completely.

Ren Takahashi and Elias Whitmore could not have looked more different if they had tried. At eighteen years old, Ren Takahashi is loud, flashy, dramatic, and impossible to ignore. Originally from Japan, he arrives in England during his final year of school and immediately stands out. With his tanned skin, heavily layered bleached-blond hair, eyeliner, jewelry, and unapologetically bold gyaruo fashion, Ren has a talent for drawing attention wherever he goes. Most people assume he's confident. Most people are wrong. Beneath the jokes, flirting, and constant noise is someone terrified of being forgotten, ignored, or valued only for his appearance. Ren hides his insecurities behind oversized smiles and reckless decisions, throwing himself into friendships, parties, and chaos before he has the chance to think twice. He's emotional, impulsive, fiercely loyal, and often far more sensitive than he lets anyone see. Elias Whitmore is the exact opposite. Tall, pale, and intimidatingly quiet, Elias has spent years perfecting the art of keeping people at arm's length. At six foot two, with dark hair, black clothes, silver jewelry, and an unreadable expression most of the time, he has the unfortunate habit of looking angry even when he's completely relaxed. While most students spend their evenings hanging around town, Elias works part-time at a local alternative club as both a bartender and informal security staff member. Responsible, organised, and frustratingly calm under pressure, he carries himself with a confidence that comes from knowing exactly who he is-or at least appearing to. Where Ren fills every silence, Elias seems comfortable living inside them. Where Ren acts first and thinks later, Elias thinks so much he sometimes forgets to act at all. Neither of them expects to become important to the other. Unfortunately, life has other plans.

He hadn't even known he was lonely until he met her. A quarter-elf. Naive. Gentle. A girl who changed his world without even trying. He had never wanted to keep anyone close, but for her... he would do anything. Even lay down his crown and hand his throne to another. The only question is: how can he make her stay? Or perhaps... he should be the one willing to follow her instead? His Treasure is a cozy fantasy novella about discovering the one thing he never realized he needed and finding the person who makes the world feel warm, whole, and worth returning to.

Every city has its secrets. Seoul's run through neon-lit nights and fleeting silence-where a doctor learns how to feel, and a woman learns how to be seen. Eun-sae Do prefers the background. As a night radio script assistant, she pens words for strangers but guards her own heart. Her late commute on Bus 273 is her ritual-quiet, predictable-until an off-duty doctor begins to appear: always in scrubs, always tired, always watching with a kind of patience that disarms her. Koo Jae-hwan doesn't believe in fate-but he believes in patterns. And something about her-her silences, her spark, the way she never looks away-keeps him coming back. What begins as glances across a bus aisle turns into something neither of them expected. Through nights blurred with exhaustion and hope, through missed connections and quiet confessions, they move from strangers to something much more. From convenience store laughter to whispered honesty behind closed hospital doors, Bus 273 is a slow-burn romance built on the in-between moments-where timing is everything, and love arrives exactly when it's needed. A story of longing, transformation, and tenderness that lingers-because sometimes, the ride changes everything. #TheBusRunsAllNight, #SoDoTheirHearts.

In what's left of the world, silence is survival. And love? That's a death sentence. I broke the rule that kept me alive. I stepped outside for a book I left behind-one stupid mistake. My mother begged me not to go. I told her I'd be careful. I lied. Now I'm on the ground, surrounded by Them-the elite soldiers who track and erase anyone who resists. They wear black. They don't speak. They don't show mercy. But one of them steps forward. Cassian. Eyes like frozen oceans. A weapon with a heartbeat. The kind of beautiful that hurts to look at. He picks up my book. His fingers brush against my cheek, soft like he's never touched anything that wasn't meant to break. He should've killed me. But instead... he saw me. And now, I don't know what's more dangerous: the world outside, or the way he looks at me like I'm the only thing that could destroy him.
