    Summary

    Charlotte Adams is perfectly fine with her quiet apartment, her small bookstore, and the carefully maintained distance she keeps between herself and the rest of the world. She is not looking for friends nor adventure when a world-famous K-pop idol decides on an unremarkable Tuesday afternoon that the two of them could both use the company.

    Lee Felix is sunshine in human form and Charlotte is a closed door, but he is annoyingly patient and entirely unbothered by her standoffish demeanor. For Charlotte, learning how to be in a friendship is hard enough, but it's the people Felix brings with him that prove to be the real problem. Or one in particular who is quiet, steady, infuriatingly perceptive, and extremely inconveniently attractive.

    Summary

    Margaret Murphy has a clear vision for her life: graduate with her PhD in historical musicology from Harvard, land a tenure-track faculty position at a prestigious university, make her parents proud…

    And never have to see Christopher Bahng again.

    Grad school would have been so much better if it weren’t for the always charming, always capable, and deeply irritating other member of her cohort, constantly getting in her way and taking opportunities that should be hers. So when their advisor gives them the chance to compete for a slot at their field’s most important conference, Margaret jumps at the opportunity to finally take Christopher down a peg.

    What she doesn’t expect is that, as the semester goes on, the lines between rivalry and friendship—and something more—start to blur, turning what once felt certain into something far more complicated. As misunderstandings pile up and secrets come to the surface, they’re left to figure out whether they’ve really been out of step with each other all along—or just not ready to hear what the other was trying to say.

    Summary

    Two women are pulled into the orbit of global fame after crossing paths with Stray Kids, but they couldn’t handle it more differently.

    Emma stays careful, observant, and quietly unraveling as her connection with Hyunjin deepens into something she can’t easily control. Sloane dives in headfirst, chasing intensity and freedom as her dynamic with Lee Know grows fast, bold, and complicated.

    Caught between who they were and who they’re becoming, Emma and Sloane have to decide what they’re willing to risk, and what they refuse to lose.

    - - - - -

    This is a work of FICTION. I do not know the Stray Kids members personally, nor do I claim to understand their actual lives, schedules, or personalities. This does not follow any real life time line.

    Summary

    He smiles at her, one thousand Chans reflected one thousand times in the mirrored elevator walls. One thousand parallel universes where she could be in an elevator with Chan in Rome late at night, with his loverboy eyes, and how many of those universes are different? How many of those Chans have loverboy eyes? How many versions of her give in to them? How many good things actually happen to those versions after 2AM?

     

    or

    Everyone knows idols shouldn't date their staff. Chan's not sure if he cares anymore.
