muse a becomes entangled with muse b, who's all charm and no follow-through. muse b showers them with compliments and sweet words, but never shows up when it matters. as muse a slowly pulls away, they plan a confrontation that will expose whether muse b's sugar-coated promises were ever meant to mean anything.
we almost broke up again last night
set over the course of one wild evening, a couple teeters on the edge of breaking up for the third time in a month. between screaming matches, makeup kisses, and late-night texts, they must decide if the chaos is love — or just addiction to the drama.
muse a falls for muse b, who is detached, drifting, and refuses to belong to anyone — not a family, not a relationship, not even themself. muse a becomes determined to break through muse b's walls, only to discover that saving someone who doesn't want to be saved might cost them more than they can give.
a once-passionate couple falls into a rut, their physical connection all but gone. told with humor and frustration, muse a schemes increasingly ridiculous ways to reignite the spark — until an unexpected moment of vulnerability finally cracks the ice.
two lifelong friends who have always seen each other as platonic suddenly notice sparks. what was once familiarity turns into an awkward, thrilling tension as they both wrestle with the terrifying question: risk the friendship, or ignore the chemistry?
one reckless night changes everything when, y/m is fueled by "liquid courage", makes a series of impulsive decisions — confessing feelings to someone they shouldn't, dialing an ex, and winding up in the middle of a scandal. now they have to deal with the fallout once the "juice" wears off.
don't worry i'll make you worry
after being strung along by muse b, who kept them up at night with games and uncertainty, muse a decides to flip the script. they become the one in control, the one who stirs doubt and insecurity, forcing muse b to finally understand what it feels like. but revenge quickly blurs into something more dangerous.
after meeting muse b, muse a decides to let their guard down in the most intimate way possible. framing their body as a "house," they invite muse b on a "tour" — every room, every corner, every hidden space. what starts playful quickly turns charged, a metaphor for exploring both muse a's physical desires and the deeper vulnerability of opening themself up to someone new.
in the bittersweet closing chapter, muse a leaves a relationship for good. no "maybe later," no "what ifs." just finality. the story follows their first days of independence — grief, relief, freedom, and the terrifying, exhilarating step into a life without muse b.
