You take Yunho along to the orphanage where you always volunteer, and he gets to see firsthand how warm, gentle, and loving you are with the kids—reading them stories, painting while a toddler snoozes in your lap, and even managing to get paint on your nose and shirt. Completely smitten, Yunho teases about wanting kids of your own, and though you roll your eyes, he can’t hide how deeply in love he is. Later at home, you curl up together for a movie marathon, but you fall asleep against him before it’s over. Yunho carries you to bed, tucks you in, and realizes for the hundredth time that you’re his whole world.

Between Too Much and Nothing At All (Oneshot)
summary →
You’ve always lived between extremes—too much and nothing at all. One moment the world burns too bright and too loud; the next, it falls eerily silent. You’ve learned to survive the pendulum swings of your own mind, but it’s exhausting to live inside a body that feels everything and nothing all at once.
And then there’s Yunho.
He doesn’t fix you. He doesn’t try to. He just stays—through the storms, the voids, and the fragile calm in between. With his steady hands and quiet presence, he becomes the anchor that keeps you tethered to the world when it feels impossible to exist in it.
This isn’t a story about being “cured.” It’s about surviving, about being held when you can’t hold yourself together, and about finding hope in the spaces between too much and nothing at all.

In a town forgotten by time, where the air is still and secrets sleep just beneath the surface, (___) lives a quiet life by design.
She doesn’t talk about the city she left behind or the past she buried the moment she crossed the town line. With only her sharp instincts and her two closest friends, Soyeon and Minnie, she’s carved out a life of stillness—predictable, controlled, untouched by memory.
But everything changes with a letter.
Elegant and blood-red, it invites her to the fabled Banquet—an exclusive event held once every ten years in the castle that looms just beyond the town’s edge. Only six guests are ever invited. Only six ever return, unable to recall what happened inside—but forever altered by luck, happiness, and fortune.
This decade, she is invited.
Reluctant but curious, and pushed by her friends, (___) enters the castle. But the night doesn’t end.
Trapped in a looping masquerade of velvet shadows, golden laughter, and familiar strangers, she must unravel the threads of time, identity, and memory.
To escape, she’ll have to confront the ghosts of lives she cannot seen to remember... and the truth that refuses to stay buried.
Some doors open for a reason. Others open for revenge.

summary →Ten years after graduation, you swore you’d left your high school days—and everyone in them—behind. But when your best friend drags you to your ten-year reunion, the last person you expect to see is him: Song Mingi. Your childhood best friend. The boy who disappeared without a word.
He’s no longer the lanky kid next door; he’s taller, sharper, devastatingly confident— and apparently the CEO of a successful restaurant chain. And while you’ve spent years convincing yourself you don’t care, one look into those familiar dark eyes threatens to unravel everything you’ve built.
Old wounds resurface, secrets come to light, and buried feelings claw their way back to the surface. Between alcohol-fueled confessions, heated arguments, and stolen kisses, you and Mingi are forced to face the truth: maybe the past never really let either of you go.
After all, love doesn’t always fade—it just waits for a second chance.

Under Another's Umbrella (miniseries? Planning to post multiple chapters)
summary →
It was supposed to be an ordinary rainy night—until Park Seonghwa handed you his umbrella. You didn’t expect to ever see him again, let alone end up sharing coffee, inside jokes, and text threads filled with cat pictures. But one small act of kindness turns into a quiet friendship that begins to mean more than either of you ever expected.
Between late-night conversations, shared laughter, and a rescued kitten named Kuro, you learn that sometimes love doesn’t arrive with fireworks—it comes softly, in the shape of gentle words, warm smiles, and an umbrella on a stormy night.
For Seonghwa, it’s a rare moment of normalcy; for you, it’s the beginning of something extraordinary. Because under another’s umbrella, you find a piece of home you didn’t know you were missing.

The world outside doesn’t exist past midnight—not here, not when the studio hums softly and Hongjoong sits beside you, sleeves rolled up, lost in the rhythm of creation. It’s supposed to be just another late work session, but somewhere between coffee gone cold, teasing words, and shared silence, you realize this is what love looks like for the two of you. No grand gestures, no elaborate plans—just quiet hours, laughter between takes, and the kind of warmth that lingers long after the music fades.
