Summary
Entry One
24 October 1987
They all said I was strange from the start. I’m starting to think they’re right.
Everyone in this town grew up knowing Kim Seungmin would kill someone one day.
Seungmin had always known that, in a way, he was different from other kids. He didn’t find much joy in activities like playing at the playground, or knocking on his neighbor’s doors before running off like his friends always wanted to do. He had always preferred to stay in the attic of his house, finding spiders to kill and to watch die a slow, painful death.
He felt a sick pleasure in watching it panic and attempt to skitter around to escape, a pleasure in knowing he had more control over its life than it did.
In which murders continue to happen throughout town and all signs point towards Kim Seungmin. But, that seems a bit too obvious.

Summary
Charlotte “Letty” Hopper knows Hawkins isn’t safe—she learned that long before the monsters. Dumped on her uncle’s doorstep by a mother who didn’t want her, Letty clings to the fragments of normal life: late-night shifts at the arcade, banter with friends, and the dangerous pull of boys who make her feel seen in different ways. But Hawkins doesn’t let go. Between whispers of the Upside Down, memories she can’t shake, and the bruises of a past she never asked for, Letty has to find her footing before the town swallows her whole. A story of survival, found family, and the messy intimacy of growing up in a world where darkness is always just beneath the surface.

Summary
“You scared the hell out of me. What now, BG?? Are you confessing to me outside of school too?”
“I didn’t say anything.”
“Yet. You were about to! Something like, ‘Go out with me’ or, ‘Let’s date,’ like you always do.” Yeonjun sighed. “And let me tell you, this isn’t love, okay? This is a threat.” He whined hard, looking down over his hand. “You have your hands in fists.”
Beomgyu loosened his fists. “I didn’t.”
Beomgyu, Bupyeong's All Boys High School Resident Leader, likes Yeonjun—the school #1 heartbreaker. And Yeonjun, who rejected him more times than he can count, swears he's not interested.
Then comes a new student: rich, mysterious, and somehow hotter than he has any right to be.

“You don’t think I’m a bad person?” Ellie asked, voice low, on the verge of breaking. She looked at Dina, eyes searching, like she was begging for an answer she thought she didn’t deserved.
Dina leaned closer, slow, and careful. She brushed a strand of hair from Ellie’s face. Her thumb lingered at the corner of Ellie’s jaw, warm against skin that felt colder than it should.
“All I think is that I love you.” Dina said softly
