    Summary

    She didn't quite understand. “What is this place?”

    “One of memory,” he answered.

    “The second layer of the underworld. A place where stories sit. Not quite alive. Not quite dead. But forever told to their protagonists.”

    She glanced around at the demons again. None had moved, but she could feel them... waiting, listening.

    “What kind of stories?”

    “The kind people leave behind when they’re trying to forget, thus, this is their punishment.”

    OR

    As the daughter of famous kpop stars Rumi and Jinu, five year old Areum has one hell of a story to share once she awakens from her suspiciously realistic dream. A dream that has her foraging in a strange underworld and with a friendly demon guide who bears a striking resemblance to her father.

    But is it really all in her head? And are her parents really not as unshakable as she believes them to be?

    Summary

    Jinu’s mind, again, supplied how stupid this all was, and he quieted it, smiling as she lifted the bear high in the air, spinning and nearly stumbling headfirst into a trashcan.

    Affection was comfortable. Despite all of the difficulties the fallout of fondness brought, affection was…easy. A steady, gentle thing. Everything she did now, he simply felt the thing in his chest stir, giving it name, and moved on.

    OR

    A series of moments in which I write another side to most of their meetings and give us the aquarium scene we deserved, all told and explored through the emotionally dismayed POV of Jinu.

    Summary

    What if someone caught Rumi and Jinu singing Free and uploaded it?

    A single fan video sparks a butterfly effect that spirals into unexpected consequences, a growing cast, and a wildly different series of events with even higher stakes.

    Look forward to real romantic chemistry, richer character development, expanded lore, and a generous helping of chaos, charm, and genuine healing.

    Summary

    The world is cotton these days. He feels warm and light-headed when doing the most mundane things ever known to humanity—cooking, cleaning, washing, training—as long as he does them for Mizu—cooking, cleaning for Mizu’s health, washing Mizu’s clothes, training with Mizu (which always ends sooner than she’d like, but how can he help it?). He feels like they invent something even with the most innocuous of touches—a new season, perhaps, one that is even hotter than summer. He smiles to himself, unbidden, unknowing, stupid, these days. It isn’t until Mizu points it out that he catches the half-formed stretch of his lips, and, smiles wider. Anything to make Mizu smile with him, anything to make her blush, skin already pinkish.

    Summary

    Mizu wakes to engulfing warmth, something having slithered through the pores of her skin and touched her soul, pulling it to the surface. A cry. She smiles down at the bundle of love at her side on the futon and pulls it to her chest.

    Her baby hasn’t known the world for long, her precious little, only a week old. She was born a reflection-combination of all those who love her—would have loved her—Taigen’s eye color, Mizu’s ears, Taigen’s lips, Mizu’s flushed complexion. She has her grandmother’s hair, which Mizu can tell will darken with time, which Mizu will oil and pull up into a shimada with the tenderest of care, or a chignon if her daughter wishes.
