crush

His magnificently beautiful eyes looked into mine with possessiveness. I exhaled out a shuddered breath, and he grabbed my jaw. “This is not who you are to me, Isabella. And I want more than what we have. Understood?” The dominance in his tone was obvious, while his words sounded like a fantasy I’ve always dreamt of. More than what we have. More than step-brother. ______________________________ I, a 19-year-old girl, had always had a secret crush on someone I shouldn’t have. That’s right—it was none other than Achilles Roman, my stepbrother, who was two years older than me. I had kept my feelings dumped in a Tupperware box for as long as I could remember. But how could I control myself when he himself started making moves on me? And what should I do when I realize that he was nowhere near the Achilles I thought I knew? Read to find out.

I used to believe time would blur what happened between Chenhui and me. Two boys in the same classroom, drawn into something we never dared to name. But even now, ten years later, I still wonder what really happened that summer. Why does every smile still make me think of him? With Lee back in my life and winter closing in, I can't help but ask myself: is this what it means to grow up, carrying the past even as we try to move on?

Music. Love. Despair. Healing. Hiroki had been getting anonymous love letters for years. Unceasing, steadfast, and filled with yearning. They came like clockwork, one following the other, never stopping. His days, in the meantime, went by like dry leaves in the wind,pointless and insensitive. Those dreams he used to hold onto, the ones that used to give his life meaning, had silently perished. Yuna was Hiroki's best friend once. But their friendship always existed in an ambiguous, delicate realm—never really crossing the boundaries. Since she got married, their relationship was virtually nil, despite working in the same organization and meeting regularly. As time went on, a gap formed between Yuna and her husband. Doubt entered. She began to think that perhaps she was just too weak, too damaged. Hiroki, on the other hand, had always longed to protect her, to be the one to save her from the storm she didn’t even know she was drowning in. Nobody could've predicted the mayhem those letters would create. Deep-buried secrets started coming to light. Wounds from the past reopened. Old silhouettes returned to haunt them. And the desperate yearning to break free, to finally breathe, grew louder with every passing day. Music was their sole salvation. It came back to Hiroki like a present from the ruins—a delicate but shining strand to guide him out of the night. The melody was slow. Painfully slow. It echoed the pace of healing, of souls dragging themselves out of the abyss. And yet, to others, the same tune would reflect their own silent fall— a fall into the bottomless pit they themselves had carved.

Between haunted phone numbers, unexpected feelings, and a whole lot of dumpling therapy, Anne might just learn that falling in love is terrifying—and also kind of hilarious.

The interview begins: "Boss Gu, what is your view on pursuing women?" "The most important thing is loyalty and protection."

"If I couldn't be at home all the time, Continuing her inner complaints, Shang Xixia glanced with great grievance at the man beside her. ...

The world is diverse and flourishing. Humanity has changed, and with it, brought in a new era of prosperity. Males and females still exist, but the spectrum from which humanity is cast has broadened. With the introduction of alpha, omega, and beta, humanity has evolved even further. In such a word, Dr. Andrew Knox, known environmental researcher, is happy being a beta male. It has made his life easier by being middle ground, and as much as some wish he was one way or the other, he’s happy being who he is. Thriving even. He works in a world renowned research facility. He makes friends easily, and his projects are always funded. He even found someone who he thinks he could end up marrying if things continue in the right direction. That, and the vacant house next to his apartment building gets bought by a new neighbour. A cute, but cautious omega who relies on Andrew as a beta for help. Andrew couldn’t be happier. He loves being a helper, and loves when people rely on him. All in all, Andrew really thinks he has everything made. That is, until a research project with shoddy data is thrown back into his face that he has no recollection of working on, and all of his reputation disintegrates in between one heartbeat and the next. Heartbroken, it isn’t until Andrew wakes up, chained to a wall that everything becomes clear. He becomes a test subject to one of the scientists that he trusted. That he expected would never harm him. The life he had known, where he was a respected researcher was ripped out from underneath him. His identity and everything he’s ever known is stolen from him from a crazed researcher who he had trusted, maybe even loved. He has to relearn who he is, what he is, from scratch. Thankfully, he has one person in his corner. He just never expected to have to rely on someone whose shoulders were so small. This is an a/b/o story, and will have those tropes associated with it. I hope you enjoy :)
