Tara couldn’t believe her bad luck. Out of all the people looking for a roommate, she ended up with her boss, Selena. Selena—known for her sharp wit, enchanting looks, and a rumored history with a few past coworkers—had a reputation as the office “temptress.” Watching Selena move with that effortless allure, Tara silently vowed to keep a safe, respectful distance. But on the very first night of living together, that same untouchable boss ended up sleepwalking… right into Tara’s room, wrapping herself around her with surprising softness and refusing to let go, nestled into Tara’s chest as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Keeping her calm, Tara gingerly extricated herself, stepped onto the balcony, and drank a full glass of ice water—despite the frigid winter temperatures. “She’s straight. You’re just roommates. Don’t even think about catching feelings,” Tara told herself, hoping her resolve would hold. But Selena seemed determined to ignore any “distance.” After dodging yet another one of Selena’s friendly but borderline flirtatious invitations, Tara found herself cornered in the underground parking lot after work. Under the dim lights, Selena’s eyes sparkled with a hint of red at the corners. “Are you like everyone else? Do you hate me?” she asked, her voice tinged with unexpected hurt, a stubbornness that was oddly… sweet. The usual polite words Tara had on hand somehow lodged in her throat. Flustered, she stammered, “No… I’m just scared I might fall for you.” Selena had a secret: she was totally smitten with the company’s new intern. There was something about Tara’s quiet warmth and that little spark of defiance that pulled Selena in. So much so, that Selena willingly traded her comfortable apartment for a cramped 700-square-foot rental—just to be closer to her crush. She even went out of her way to “accidentally” create situations that would draw them together. But her darling intern remained unmoved, cool and reserved, her demeanor bordering on chilly. When a close friend pointed out that no one wants to room with their boss, saying, “Living with your boss just feels like working overtime every night,” Selena pouted but couldn’t deny it. Resting her head against Tara’s shoulder, Selena couldn’t help but think, Too true… I do have her working ‘overtime’ every night.

The soul’s life has become a series of dull routines, where dreams and ambitions seem distant, buried under the weight of daily struggles. Surrounded by a culture of endless expectations and pressure, it feels increasingly lost and disconnected, its purpose clouded by frustration and self-doubt. But one night, in a moment of quiet reflection, the soul stumbles upon the Japanese concept of Kaizen—a philosophy of continuous, small improvements. Curious and a bit skeptical, the soul decides to give Kaizen a chance, committing to small, meaningful changes every day. As it takes small steps—like organizing its space, setting achievable goals, and reconnecting with passions—it begins to see shifts in its outlook and confidence. Slowly, the soul learns that lasting change doesn’t need grand gestures; it’s about finding joy in small victories and growth. Through this journey, the soul reconnects with itself and discovers a renewed sense of purpose and happiness. With Kaizen guiding it, the soul realizes that transformation is not an overnight miracle but a steady, fulfilling path toward becoming its best self.

It’s funny how a single decision, a single moment, a single choice can change your life so unexpectedly. Then again it never was just a single decision or a single moment rather all those small choices that led up to this messed up situation. Kim Jinsol, despite being extremely smart, had never been the adventurous or spontaneous person her older sister was, she had always preferred to keep her head down with a pair of headphones and wanted to become a musician. Unfortunately none of that happened because of her hateful sister, who she loved too much for her own good. Her older sister had always been absurd in most of the decisions she had made. She never thought they would affect her much until they did. When everyone had expected Kim Eunae to go to medical school or business school and become the next leader of her fathers company, she went off to become a photographer instead. When her parents set up a marriage with their family friend's older son, she ran off and got married to the younger son leaving the fiance at the altar. But that wasn’t even the most absurd thing of all, the most absurd thing her older sister had done was beg her for a ridiculous favour and Kim Jinsol had idiotically accepted. But nothing ever did go as planned as could be seen by her current situation. Here she was walking down the aisle getting married to that fiancé who was left at the altar, while being three months pregnant with a child that was not his, nor hers, but still somehow theirs. *I do not own the above book cover art or claim any copyrights to it.
