Dreams Across Borders: Timing and Choices

“In the end, fate and timing do not happen, out of coincidence. They are products of earnest, simple choices, that make up miraculous moments. Being resolute, making decisions without hesitation… that is what makes timing. He wanted her more than I did. And I should have been more courageous. It was not the traffic light’s fault. It was not timing. It was my hesitations.” – Jung Hwan, reply 1988 New Beginnings in Seoul follows Alex Daniels, an Indian student and K-drama enthusiast, as he embarks on a journey to Seoul National University. Enchanted by the city's vibrancy, Alex hopes for a fresh start away from the judgmental environment of his home in Chennai. However, life in Korea brings its own complexities, far from the idealized world of his favorite dramas. On his first day, Alex meets Ji-hoon, a charismatic and compassionate student volunteer who helps him navigate the sprawling campus. Ji-hoon's warmth and charm immediately draw Alex in, sparking a connection that promises friendship and perhaps more. They exchange numbers and plan a Friday night outing for Korean BBQ and soju, setting the stage for an evolving relationship. But Ji-hoon’s seemingly perfect exterior masks a deeper, hidden turmoil, leaving Alex to wonder if there’s more to Ji-hoon than meets the eye. Alex also befriends Yuna, a spirited Korean student with her own struggles. As Yuna becomes a close ally, she offers Alex a window into the nuances of Korean culture and the shared challenges of acceptance in a society that mirrors the stigmas he faced back home. Together, they navigate the unspoken rules of relationships, both platonic and romantic, in a society that is accepting on the surface but deeply complex beneath. As Alex’s new life unfolds, he finds himself grappling with the scars of his past, the cautious thrill of a new connection, and the unraveling secrets that Ji-hoon and Yuna bring into his world. The city he once saw as a dreamland becomes the backdrop for an emotional journey of growth, trust, and self-discovery. New Beginnings in Seoul is a story about love, resilience, and the courage to uncover the truths hidden behind carefully curated facades. It’s a tale that reveals how real life, though far from the perfection of a K-drama, can still hold its own kind of magic.

Shelly is a 36 year old house wife who falls down the stairs of her townhouse and into a beast world. She is saved by a leopard named Parker and brought back to the leopard tribe. Parker is first entranced by her beauty, but he looses interest because she tells him she is infertile when he talks about making cubs. Parker brings Shelly to Dr. Harvey to see if he can cure her infertility. Harvey is interested in her because she knows about his “medicine” and she teaches him new cooking and health techniques. They go to the City of Beasts to avoid Curtis and meet Winston. When he is humiliated by the fox, Shelly openly expresses her interest and accepts him. She meets David the bear beastmen who looks like her husband when he offers her some honey bbq. The Ape King becomes suspicious of her when she reveals a prophecy about the City of Beasts destruction. Shelly introduces spa treatments to females and becomes very successful! I knew I shouldn’t carry things downstairs, but I was trying to clean quickly because we had company coming later that day. I was rushing while wearing my fuzzy socks and slipped on the carpeted stairs. I had fallen before, but not from this high up. I was dreading the bumpy landing with our TV and speakers at the bottom to break my fall, not to mention the glass coffee table. I was expecting to be heavily injured and just prayed I didn’t die. I closed my eyes and braced myself for the fall, but was surprised to land on dew covered grass instead. I opened my eyes and took in the plush forest around me. ‘I knew that fall would kill me one of these days!’ I thought to myself. I remember arguing with David, my husband about playing the speakers and TV at the base of the stairs for that exact reason, but our small living room didn’t have much space to put it after the giant L shaped couch took up half of the living room. Shocked, I was thinking, ‘ So this is not what I expected Heaven to look like!, Where are the clouds and pearly gates? Where are the angels? Maybe I just hit my head and am unconscious and this is all a dream?’ Looking around at the tallest trees I had ever seen, I decided this had to be a dream. I was brought back to focus when I heard wolves nearby! I got up and started to run away looking for a tree I might climb up. I was always good in gymnastics despite being overweight. My husband and I had recently started going on morning walks and exercising, but I hated running. Nothing is more motivating than a pack of hungry wolves chasing you. “This is not the way I wanted to die!” I yelled to no one in particular. I found a tree with a low enough branch for me to parkour my way up. The wolves circled the tree and were jumping almost high enough to get me. I tried to climb higher, but heard the branch start to creak. “Ahh, someone help me!!!” I screamed at the top of my lungs when one of the wolves almost got my foot. * This is a fan fiction based off of 'Beauty and the Beasts' by White-Headed Dream. I love the beast world novels and decided to write my own from my own life. I hope you like it, this is my first time writing for the competition. If you like it, please vote.
