Beneath the Cherry Sky

The first time Ren saw Aoi, he was crouched beside the old vending machine outside the corner bookstore, sketching something into a tattered notebook. His blue hair shimmered faintly in the spring sun, like the sea had gifted him a crown. Ren almost walked past him. But the breeze carried a whisper of graphite on paper, the soft rustle of pages turning, and something made him stop. “You’re drawing?” Ren asked, unsure why he even said it. Aoi looked up, blinking once like he was waking from a dream. His eyes were a startling grey, like rain on glass. “…Yeah,” he said quietly. “You’re blocking my light.” Ren awkwardly stepped aside. “Sorry.” For a moment, they stared at each other. Then Aoi returned to his sketch, and Ren left, but something about that moment stayed with him — like a bookmark placed in a chapter he hadn't meant to read. Ren had moved to the seaside town of Hoshinawa after his mother passed away. He lived with his aunt above a quaint little flower shop, spent afternoons helping arrange lilies and writing poems he never let anyone read. The town was quiet, and Ren liked it that way — until he started seeing Aoi everywhere. At the bookstore. Near the cliffs. At the library where he sat in silence, scribbling in his notebook, always alone. They spoke rarely, but when they did, Aoi’s words were careful, like he measured every sentence before letting it out. He didn’t smile much — but when he did, it was faint, fragile, like a star peeking through a cloudy sky. One day, Ren found a sketch slipped into his poetry book at the library. It was a pencil drawing of the cherry tree that bloomed outside his flower shop — and beneath it, a figure that looked suspiciously like him. The next time he saw Aoi, he waited until they were both at the vending machine again. “You left this?” Ren asked, holding up the drawing. Aoi flushed, eyes darting. “Maybe.” Ren smiled. “I write poems about that tree.” “I know,” Aoi murmured. “I’ve read them. You leave the scraps behind.” A silence stretched between them — but it wasn’t uncomfortable. It felt… intimate. “I think,” Aoi said slowly, “your poems make me feel less alone.” Ren’s chest ached, soft and sudden. “I think your sketches do the same,” he whispered. And that was how it started. Over the weeks, they met more often. Exchanged words, drawings, half-written poems. They didn't need grand declarations. Their closeness grew in the quiet spaces — the brush of hands as they reached for the same book, the shared silence watching the sea, the way their shadows leaned into each other as the sun set. One day, under the blooming cherry tree, Ren turned to Aoi and said, “You make me want to write again.” Aoi looked at him, eyes gentler than ever. “Then write me something I can keep.” Ren leaned in, nervous but certain, and kissed him — soft, slow, like poetry in motion. And in that moment, the world wasn’t loud or broken. It was just them — beneath the cherry sky, finding something beautiful in each other.

How To Fall In Love With Eyes

Yeon-Jun is a dedicated barista at a quaint cafe operated by Sung-Hoon Cha, the son of the man who once saved Yeon-Jun's life. He grapples with selective mutism, a condition that emerged after the traumatic experience of witnessing his parents' tragic death. Although the details of his past have faded from his memory, his body retains the imprint of those painful events. It was during this darkest chapter of his life that Sung-Hoon's father discovered him alone and heartbroken, offering him shelter and a semblance of safety. Despite never having envisioned a future as a barista, Yeon-Jun made a solemn promise to Sung-Hoon's father on his deathbed—to forever stand by his side. This vow compelled Yeon-Jun to forsake his own aspirations and instead pursue a life marked by unrelenting work and perpetual anxiety. Conversely, Woo-San Kim is the affluent CEO of K&L Entertainment, a company steeped in legacy as he belongs to an illustrious lineage of chaebols, being an eighth-generation heir poised to inherit substantial assets from his grandfather. Like Yeon-Jun, Woo-San has also faced the grief of losing both parents to illness, which has led to a strained relationship with his controlling grandfather. The elder Kim holds steadfast to his authority, adamantly refusing to relinquish the company, opting instead to orchestrate a competition among Woo-San, his half-brother, and his cousin for the right to inherit the family fortune. Throughout his childhood, Woo-San has been accompanied by Hee-Jun Go, a devoted friend and secretary who was rescued by Woo-San's father. Hee-Jun, having been separated from his own family at a young age, appreciates the depth of loyalty and friendship. In a heartfelt gesture, Woo-San offers to help Hee-Jun locate his long-lost brother, during which he finds himself inexplicably drawn to Yeon-Jun at the café, captivated by the quiet strength and resilience hidden beneath Yeon-Jun's struggles. However, when Woo-San’s grandfather learns of his burgeoning feelings for Yeon-Jun, he delivers a menacing ultimatum: marry someone of his grandfather's choosing or face disinheritance. Feeling cornered with little left to lose, Woo-San contemplates capitulating to the marriage arrangement, all the while suspecting that his grandfather is orchestrating a more sinister plot that preys on Woo-San's unresolved trauma, compelling him to wrestle for his inheritance. As tensions rise within this power dynamic, Woo-San feels an undeniable connection to Yeon-Jun, yet finds that Yeon-Jun’s condition renders him unable to express his own feelings. Desperate to flee the confines of the forced marriage, Woo-San resolves to turn his grandfather's manipulative tactics against him. In this quest for autonomy, he uncovers unsettling truths that extend far beyond his own life, jeopardizing not only his future but also deeply affecting Hee-Jun, Sung-Hoon, and even his grandfather himself. Faced with this newfound knowledge—one he wishes he could unlearn—Woo-San must grapple with difficult decisions. Will he risk exposing his own vulnerabilities to protect Yeon-Jun? Will he succumb to his grandfather’s wishes to secure his inheritance, or will he forge a path driven by empathy and commitment to those who have become family to him? The weight of these revelations threatens to alter the course of their lives forever. Author's Note: I apologize if this gets a delayed update. My country decided to randomly go to war this Tuesday and I live near the border. So, yeah.

He quipped, leaning in to meet her gaze. Sana, her demeanor laced with playful skepticism, leaned back in her chair, a knowing glint in her eyes. "Thirteen women, Tristian. Thirteen hearts you've captured with your charm," She remarked, a hint of amusement in her voice. Tristian met her gaze, his expression softening with sincerity. "Ah, but none as captivating as yours, Sana," He confessed, his voice laced with genuine admiration. Sana rolled her eyes, though a fond smile tugged at the corners of her lips. "Smooth talker," She countered, though her tone betrayed a hint of affection. As their conversation ebbed and flowed, a question lingered in the air, unspoken yet palpable.

The Anamoly of Almier Raziad

Born into captivity, Mirela has spent her entire life imprisoned for the sins of a man she never was. As the sixth reincarnation of Almier Raziad—the ruthless Mage general who led the Unseelie Vorlian Court into a disastrous war to conquer the Seelie Courts through the land—she’s been punished for crimes committed centuries ago. But on her 20th birthday, everything changes. The courts overturn the centuries-long practice of punishing reincarnations, declaring it inhumane to condemn someone for another’s actions under the Reincarnation Fairness Act. Thrust into a world that still fears her as the shadow of Almier’s legacy, Mirela manages to navigate her freedom as her own. Just as she begins to find her footing, a wealthy Seelie aristocrat named Caden offers her shelter. But what seems like a gesture of goodwill turns sinister when Caden reveals his true identity: he is Almier himself, reincarnated into a new body. He admits to splitting his soul to avoid punishment, leaving his other half—and all its power—behind to suffer in his place. “You were only meant to serve my purpose,” Caden tells her, his similar gray eyes piercing through her. “And you have fulfilled it.” “Your purpose?” she echoed, her voice steady. “How quaint. Let me remind you, Almier--no, Caden. You may have been the reason why I exist, but you have already failed. Which costed us centuries of imprisonment. Your failure. Your cowardice. And if anyone were to lead now, it would be me. Not a weakened former clinging to scraps of power."

By day, she worked at a quaint bookstore, losing herself in the pages of novels she could never afford. By night, she hid among the shelves, sleeping on the cold floor, terrified of being discovered. Then he walked in. He was a man who had everything—wealth, power, and a name that commanded respect. But behind his cold, unreadable gaze was a burden he couldn’t escape. His family demanded that he find a wife and produce an heir, or he would lose the empire he had built from the ground up. Their worlds should never have collided. But a setup, a locked hotel room, and one well-timed scandal changed everything. With cameras flashing and rumors spiraling, he saw an opportunity.
