    Summary

    Coincidentally, acting rhymes with nothing. Although Karina has been standing in front of the camera for years, keeping her eyes open and lips smiling throughout bright flashes, acting is nothing. Acting is nothing but a job, it’s just something she's good at— bragging rights and all that, but is nothing all the same. There is no passion, no drive to go beyond what's written in the script sent to her email, and no joy.

    To Karina, acting is nothing.

    Nothing.

    But somehow, each time she meets that girl’s eyes, acting feels like everything. Acting feels like wanting to win a race, like making sure she scored the highest on every test, like acing every audition and coming on top.

    Acting is nothing.

    But when Karina is in front of Winter, it is everything.

     

    Or, alternatively, Karina is the most loved actress of all but she can't seem to make Winter think so.

    Summary

    “—She needs therapy, not a fucking sex club.”

    “Like I said, it doesn’t even have to be therapeutic—”

    “I already have a psychotherapist—”

    Years entangled with chronic stress have wound Dr. Jimin Yu into a tightly coiled spring, but at least she has achieved her goal of being one of the youngest cardiac surgeons in the archipelago. Everything is going well until it’s not, and her growing discontent sends her searching for distraction in Verona—an exclusive club that promises to cater to its patrons’ deepest, darkest desires, and the place where she finally finds what she needs to unravel.

    The caveat is that unravelling entangles her with a mysterious stranger in ways that she did not sign up for.

    Summary

    Sequel to Imugi: Shadow Rising.

    It is the year 2069AD. Following the chaos of the Awakening of magic across the world, old creatures and new monsters make an appearance. The chaos of the first decade reshuffled the cards of power, and now mega-corporations reign sovereign across corporate lines. The old countries are but a mere memory of what they once were. Dragons walk among us, but even they are not immune to the power of science and technology. Death comes to all things, in time.

    Shadowrun fusion with GFRIEND as runners in the shadows, mercenaries for hire.

    Summary

    [Discontinued, read at your own risk] Losing her scholarship really made it seem like it was the end for her, but Jung Eunbi was not ready to give up on her Art Degree, even if that meant drowning herself in debts and part-time jobs. She was, of course, chasing her dream, but still exhausted beyond limits.

    Maybe that's why Eunbi failed to noticed how a certain Ms. Businesswoman in town could help her out.
