A Field of Paper Blossoms ​"In the dream, I was a protagonist. In reality, I was just a survivor." ​Min-hee was the "Invisible Girl" of her high school, a ghost drifting through the hallways until a vibrant, turquoise-haired artist named Bit-na and a stoic "Prince" named Seo-jun pulled her into a world of gold leaf and eternal spring. Together, they are the "Trinity," working against the clock to paint a masterpiece for the festival of a lifetime. It is a world where love is a confession under a cherry tree and friendship is a bond that can stop time itself. ​But the gold is beginning to flake. The sun is flickering. And a terrifying shadow-the Geurimja-is tearing through the canvas of her reality. ​When the curtains finally fall, Min-hee wakes up to a world she doesn't recognize. The "Prince" is a grieving boy in a stained hoodie, the "Silver Teacher" is a mother broken by vigil, and Bit-na... Bit-na is a memory buried under the wreckage of a car accident twenty-two days ago. ​Now, Min-hee must navigate a cold, grey February and decide if the "wealth" she found in her coma was a beautiful lie, or the very map she needs to find her way back to the boy who never let go of her hand.

However, as they get closer they begin to see the parts of each other they've never let anyone see before.

And Do-yeong makes a proposal that has nothing to do with strategy anymore - and everything to do with not being able to walk away. A marriage of convenience. A household full of secrets. Two people who are very bad at wanting things learning, slowly and painfully, how to want this. Post-canon The Glory. The revenge is over. This is what comes after. This is where we land. | Updates: weekly |

The war ended, but the silence it left behind is louder than ever. In a village still learning how to breathe again, Sakura Haruno stitches wounds that never truly close. Naruto Uzumaki stands at the center of the Leaf as its golden hero, smiling for the world while carrying grief he doesn't know how to set down. They survived together. They lost everything together. And somehow, that makes moving forward harder, not easier. They've always been best friends. A constant in each other's lives. Until they're not. With Naruto utterly busy on his own ninja path. Sakura is caught off guard by the ache it leaves behind. By the way her heart reacts before her mind can catch up. By how his absence feels louder than his presence ever was. What begins as distance turns into tension. Glances linger too long. Hands almost touch. Conversations spiral into miscommunications, half-confessions, and things said too late or not at all. Sakura doesn't mean to fall for him but grief has a way of rearranging the heart, and love never asks for permission. As the village rebuilds and missions resume, Naruto and Sakura are forced to confront what's changed between them-and what hasn't. Between late-night conversations, quiet breakdowns, and the painfully ordinary horror of growing up, they must decide whether their bond is strong enough to survive becoming something more. Because sometimes, the hardest love to recognize is the one that's been there all along. A slow-burn friends-to-lovers romance filled with grief, longing, miscommunication, and the terrifying moment when your heart chooses before you're ready.
