a compilation of short stories i've made on Twitter featuring Shua x HHU  

The teacher asked what love means and five-year old Wonwoo knows that it is not just about returning Cinderella's shoe or protecting the princess from a dragon. Love is saving the orange in his lunch box so he can give it to Jisoo and see him smile.

How the expensive fabric of his clothes fluttered against the wind, its bright colors making him resemble a bird flying about spreading happiness. But for all his intelligence, Wonwoo tend to miss some simple, obvious facts: he was not the only one with eyes. And he was not the only one who knew how to use them.

It is the annual Queer Culture Festival in the country, and the event is now bigger than ever. So many people, so many colors. Humanities in different spectrums mixing altogether to form a one, big rainbow. Here are some of their stories.

Just swim and wave. Unbeknownst to him, that one performance was seen by fo

To Lee Jihoon, the annual school festival is a one-time, big-time nightmare. Tons of people, flood of activities, and zero chance of escape.

Life comes in full circle. Even for someone like me.  

Two groups of friends end up having vacation in the same place, at the same time, and with only one beach house. What is supposed to be a fun getaway turns into competition over who gets to stay. Tempers rise, insults fly, and the never ending arguments continue.

Jonghyun's high school life used to be perfectly normal...until one day a new student transferred in his class and starts showing interest on him. His days become filled with struggles to run away from all the unwanted attention that are suddenly thrown at him.

Minhyun is not asking for much. He just wants to do his library duties in peace and nothing more. Unfortunately, being in the library means he has to deal with many people, including a certain boy named Ong Seongwoo and his self titled pick-up lines called 'Ong-liners'.

Boo Seungkwan is not just popular; he is famous. At least as famous as one can get at Pledis University. His social network is unmatched and there is no one in school who is not, in some way, connected to him. He enjoys having this involvment with everyone and wants n
