Hi Tonya,
You have a really great reading list for K-drama novels!
I wrote one too — it’s an original story, not fanfiction.
Would you please consider adding it to your reading list if you think it fits/worth it?
Thank you so much!
Dmitri

At Seoul National University, reputation decides everything.
Jeong Mi-yeon is a quiet chemistry freshman from the countryside who just wants to survive university without drawing attention. Study hard. Stay invisible. Graduate without trouble.
Den is none of it.
A blunt foreign student with no patience for social codes and even less interest in following them. He stands out without trying, walking through life as if there's a permanent spotlight over his head.
Their social languages align about as well as a cat and a dog.
She avoids attention.
He attracts it.
But when university life begins to spiral in unexpected ways, Mi-yeon finds herself pulled into Den’s orbit — closer than she ever intended.
In a place where one rumor can ruin you and silence feels safer than honesty, how do you choose between protecting your image and protecting your heart?
A slow-burn campus romance about reputation, cultural distance, and the courage it takes to stop running.
