You Owe Me One

ZANE, CAN YOU HEAR ME? Lena survived the accident. But she hasn’t spoken a word since. Paralyzed and silenced in a hospital room that still echoes with his absence, she clutches the only thing they didn’t take from her: his phone. And inside it — a voice message. “If anything ever happens to me, Lena, I need you to—” That’s where it ends. But for Lena, it’s where everything begins. As Zane’s voice returns in fragments, so do the memories: the first time they met, the love they built from ruins, and the future they almost had. A future stolen in one rain-soaked moment. But what was Zane trying to tell her? And why does it feel like he knew something she didn’t? Told in aching prose and shifting memory, Zane, Can You Hear Me? is a haunting story of love that refuses to die, grief that refuses to be silenced, and a girl who refuses to forget. *** For readers who love tracing the kind of heartbreak that lingers, grief that breathes too loud, and stories that hurt in all the right places, enough to make the person bleed aloud — ZANE, CAN YOU HEAR ME? is a haunting journey into love, memory, and the silence left behind. This book is a rip into heartbreak at its most human, most fragile, and most unforgettable of forms.

Kaito was just an ordinary office worker—overworked, under-caffeinated, and nursing back pain from a chair he swore he’d replace six months ago. His only escape? Fantasy novels, strong tea, and the quiet hum of a café on a rare peaceful morning. Then came the blinding light. Now? He’s been accidentally summoned to a divine realm by a flustered priestess who mixed up the magical paperwork and pulled in the wrong guy. Oops. Stranded in a world not meant for him, Kaito finds himself face-to-face with a radiant Dragon Goddess named Aurelya—who can’t return him home, but offers him a blessing and a chance to start over in the magical land of Aurethria. Granted the unique skill Scholar’s Insight, which lets him read and understand all magical languages and ancient texts, Kaito begins his new life as a sixteen-year-old bookworm with no combat skills—but an overpowered brain. Can a sarcastic, tea-loving introvert survive in a world of scrolls, spells, and dragons? Can he keep his head down long enough to avoid divine attention? And will the Dragon Goddess ever stop feeling guilty for yeeting the wrong guy across dimensions? A slow-burn, slice-of-life isekai full of magic, mishaps, and unexpected bonds. Because sometimes, saving the world starts with being a cosmic mistake.

Aya never believed in fate — just headphones, warm coffee, and surviving one day at a time. But everything changes when a balloon brushes past her cheek… and her forgotten bracelet flickers with a blue light she’s never noticed before. Across the street stands Krish — a cold, mysterious businessman trapped in a life he never chose, whose gaze seems to recognize Aya before she even sees him. What connects them? Why does the bracelet glow near him? And why does everything feel... like it already happened once before? A tale of chance meetings, tangled pasts, hidden powers, and two souls drawn together by more than just coincidence. Some stories don’t begin — they return.

Shu Yao has always loved Bai Qi. Silently. Secretly. With the kind of devotion that doesn’t ask to be returned. But Bai Qi has never looked his way—not like that. His eyes have always been on Shu Yao’s younger sister, Qing Yue. Bright, soft-spoken, radiant in the ways Shu Yao was told boys should never be. So Shu Yao stays quiet. He smiles when he must. He bleeds where no one can see. When a high fever forces him to break his routine and drop his mask, everything begins to shift. Bai Qi offers help—clumsy, well-meaning, but blind to the damage it causes. Shu Yao, too used to locking his doors and swallowing his ache, can’t bring himself to let it in. Not when every kindness feels like pity. Not when his dreams are haunted by things he can’t say aloud.
