Misfortune, Misfortune, Misfortune. Choi Heejoo thought she had lost everything the night she walked away from a man who shattered her heart. Pregnant, abandoned, and with nowhere to go, she clawed her way to survival, raising seven children on her own. Four years later, she's a thriving woman with a life carefully built to protect her family. But when a scandal from the past resurfaces, Heejoo uncovers a truth that changes everything- her children were never meant to be hers. Seven men. Seven strangers, each unknowingly bound to her by fate. Their lives had gone on, never knowing they had a child-until now. A charming businessman, a mysterious loan shark, a free-spirited artist, an elite professor with secrets, a playful chef, a lonely performer, and an intense gaming streamer-all different, all drawn into Heejoo's orbit. Some want answers, some want nothing to do with it, and some... can't help but fall for the woman who had fought so hard for what was never hers to begin with. As tensions rise and emotions tangle, Heejoo faces the impossible: can she trust these men to become fathers? Can she protect her kids by herself? And more dangerously... can she trust herself not to fall in love?

A poem on the unforgettable night when Chelsea won the Champions League.

Gian is a typical teacher's pain in the ass, skipping lessons and constantly breaking school rules. His life has been a mess as well. His 'friend group', for one, contains no star students but a group of popular boys and girls that fool around all day. Adding on to that, he has an annoying sister to worry about when he gets home, who claims to have made a best friend and will bring her over next Saturday. However, there is one girl Gian finds comfort in, and that is Libby, given that he is her "boy-bestie", according to her.

Sometimes I find myself questioning things about the world and the people in it. So eventually I end up writing notes on my thoughts. I have done since I can remember.

If she had a superpower, she liked to believe, it was maintaining a calm composure while random tornados proceeded to wreck havoc in her life. But after every harsh winter, a spring is bound to come. With all its colour and life, Spring somehow pushes her head through the ground that was frozen by a heartless winter. The best part is, if you're careful enough, you get to see every shade of spring. The better part? Even if you aren't so quick in the uptake, you will assuredly be blown by how much life has coloured the dull winter coat. Watch one, common girl's unusual trek through the seasons of life and how the light of Spring defeats the cold of winter. Or how it fights to. Highest Ranking- #6 in odds (2020.12.07)
