Rain World More Slugcats

Espresso in The Rain

Noah Kim, a second-year engineering student, has little time for distractions. His world is filled with late-night study sessions, caffeine-fueled deadlines, and the constant pressure of excelling in his rigorous program. But everything changes when he stumbles—literally—into The Roasted Haven, a cozy coffee shop near his university, and meets its enigmatic owner, Elias Carter. Elias, a 30-year-old former corporate worker turned café owner, is everything Noah isn’t—calm, composed, and hiding a mysterious past behind his charming smirk. Drawn into Elias's world of rich espresso, rainy evenings, and stolen glances, Noah finds himself coming back to the café for reasons beyond coffee. As their flirtation deepens into a passionate affair, Noah struggles with his growing emotions and the looming question of what Elias is hiding. When secrets from Elias’s past threaten to tear them apart, Noah must decide—will he walk away, or will he risk everything for the man who has become his greatest temptation? -------------- Excerpt: Noah didn’t know how he ended up in Elias’s apartment above the café, but the heat between them was undeniable. The scent of roasted coffee lingered in the air, mixing with the musk of Elias’s cologne as he pressed Noah against the wooden counter. "You keep coming back," Elias murmured, his fingers tracing Noah’s jaw. Noah swallowed, his heart hammering. "Maybe I like the coffee." Elias chuckled, his breath warm against Noah’s lips. "Liar." And then their mouths crashed together—hot, needy, desperate. Noah gasped as Elias’s hands slid under his hoodie, fingertips skimming the bare skin beneath. Every nerve in his body ignited as Elias lifted him onto the counter, positioning himself between Noah’s legs. "Tell me what you want," Elias whispered, voice low and teasing. Noah shivered. "You." Elias smirked. "Then hold on tight, baby." ------

Echoes of Rain

The Echoes of Rain is a poignant tale that explores the depths of human connection and the power of healing in unexpected places. Amara, a woman haunted by the ghosts of her past, finds solace in the familiar rhythm of the city and the comforting patter of raindrops. For her, the rain is a melancholy companion, a reminder of loves lost and dreams that have withered away like flowers deprived of sunlight. On a dreary evening, as she navigates the bustling train station, her umbrella slips from her grasp, rolling down the aisle as if fate itself has intervened. It is then that she encounters Noah, a stranger whose warm presence and effortless charm immediately disarm her. With a gentle smirk and a twinkle in his deep brown eyes, he retrieves her fallen umbrella, extending it to her with a casual heroism that catches her off guard. Despite her initial hesitation, Amara finds herself drawn to Noah's quiet confidence and genuine interest in her life. As the train carries them through the city, their conversation flows like a gentle stream, touching on shared passions for literature, music, and the beauty found in life's unplanned moments. When Amara confesses her complicated relationship with the rain, Noah listens without judgment, offering a simple reassurance that perhaps the right kind of rain could change her perspective. Their paths separate as abruptly as they converged, but the encounter leaves an indelible mark on Amara's soul. As she walks home, the rain no longer feels like a burden but a cleansing force, washing away the layers of grief and regret that have weighed her down for far too long. Fate intervenes once more when Amara unexpectedly encounters Noah at a cozy coffee shop, his presence as warm and inviting as the aroma of freshly brewed beans. This time, she doesn't hesitate to accept his invitation to join him, and their connection deepens as they peel back the layers of their pasts. Noah reveals the pain of his father's abandonment and his mother's unwavering strength in the face of adversity. Amara, in turn, confides her own struggles, the rain serving as a poignant metaphor for the memories that have haunted her for years. In each other's company, they find a safe haven, a place where their burdens can be shared and their souls can breathe freely. As their friendship blossoms into something deeper, Amara begins to see the world through a new lens. The rain that once represented sorrow now symbolizes rebirth and renewal, each droplet a reminder of the resilience that has carried her through life's storms. And in Noah's embrace, she finds the courage to confront the demons of her past, finally allowing herself to let go of the pain that has held her captive for far too long. In a poetic twist of fate, the story culminates in a rainstorm that washes away the last remnants of Amara's grief, leaving her standing in the downpour, face upturned to the heavens, arms outstretched in a silent embrace of the very thing that once haunted her. It is in this moment that she realizes the true power of love and connection, and the transformative nature of healing that can occur when two souls find each other in the most unexpected of places. The Echoes of Rain is a breathtaking exploration of the human spirit, a testament to the resilience that lies within us all, and a reminder that even in our darkest moments, the possibility of hope and renewal exists, if only we have the courage to open our hearts and let the rain in.

More Than What They See

Nire always dreamed of Seoul—its bright lights, its music, its fashion. Growing up in a wealthy Bengali family, he saw it as the ultimate escape, the place where he could be free. But when he arrives on a scholarship, the city is nothing like he imagined. It’s a place where he feels invisible, his brown skin and foreign roots a constant reminder that he’s not quite what the world expects. Working at Yours and Mine Café, a trendy spot filled with the city’s elite, Nire wears a mask—not just to follow the café’s dress code, but because hiding who he is feels like the only way to survive. It’s easier this way—less pain, less rejection. That is, until Si Si’U, the golden boy of K-pop, walks in. The world worships him. Everyone’s eyes follow him. Except for Nire’s. Intrigued by the one person who doesn’t fawn over him, Si Si’U begins to seek out Nire’s quiet, mysterious presence. But as he digs deeper, he uncovers a truth that shatters everything he thought he knew. Nire isn’t just another fan. He’s a young man fighting to belong in a city that tells him he doesn’t fit in, and his struggle is one Si Si’U can’t ignore. What starts as a fascination turns into something more, and suddenly, Si Si’U finds himself questioning everything—his fame, his privileges, and the barriers that keep people like Nire at arm’s length. But can Si Si’U, the idol who’s never been anything less than perfect, truly understand what it means to love someone whose world is built on rejection? In a world where perfection is currency and beauty is skin deep, can two people from different worlds ever find a place where they both belong? Or will their love be just another fleeting fantasy, lost to the shadows of Seoul’s unspoken rules?

While her father built his business empire, Jenny endured years of neglect and maltreatment, becoming the family's scapegoat for their own failures and frustrations. Her quiet resilience was her only shield, but everything changes when her father's empire faces financial ruin, and the only way out is an unthinkable arrangement: marrying her off to Richard Logard, a billionaire shrouded in darkness and fear. Richard Logard is no ordinary billionaire. Known in the business world as ruthless and unfeeling, rumors swirl that he’s a devil in human form—a man whose fortune is as mysterious as his past.

Shadows in the Crimson Rain

In a land constantly shrouded by crimson-hued rain, a world torn apart by clan warfare and supernatural forces, a trio of warriors bound by an ancient curse embarks on a journey of vengeance, redemption, and self-destruction. Ryoujin, the cunning, emotionless leader, leads his companions Shion and Akira, each marked by the cursed symbol of the Ebon Pact, a pact forged in the blood of the fallen and entwined with the fate of their bloodline. Decades ago, the massacre of Ryoujin's clan by the power-hungry emperor set the world on a path of sorrow, while a forbidden pact between man and spirit granted those left behind supernatural power in exchange for an inescapable cost. Now, the trio has returned, cloaked in darkness and seeking vengeance against the emperor, whose ambition for immortality threatens not only the lives of his enemies but the very fabric of existence itself. As they infiltrate the empire's power structures, their pursuit of justice grows twisted by shadow manipulation, blood magic, and elemental destruction. The three warriors are pushed beyond the limits of mortal strength, with each use of their powers severing a piece of their humanity. But vengeance is only the beginning—beyond personal revenge lies a far more dangerous truth. The emperor seeks to pierce the veil between the living and the dead, to transcend mortality and control life itself, threatening to undo the balance between realms and doom the world to an endless cycle of torment. Ryoujin’s ultimate goal transforms from simple revenge into a dark obsession to unlock the true power of the Ebon Pact. As he seeks to manipulate time and rewrite the past, Ryoujin discovers the cost of tampering with fate is far greater than he could ever imagine. With the land weeping with the souls of the lost, his quest takes a terrifying turn as he is confronted with the choice to either destroy the cycle of suffering or embrace the corruptive power to gain absolute control over destiny, ultimately deciding whether his soul—and the world itself—will be redeemed or consumed in darkness. In this epic tale of revenge, sacrifice, and moral ambiguity, Shadows in the Crimson Rain follows a trio of warriors haunted by their past, bound by an unbreakable pact, and torn between their thirst for vengeance and the haunting consequences of their powers. Will they save the world—or bring it to ruin? Only time—and the choices they make—will tell.
