During their first encounter, she witnessed the last bottle of her favourite plum flavoured soju being snatched from right under her nose. Their second encounter entailed her showcasing the verbal elegance of a drunken sailor because he was simply at the wrong place at the wrong time. As for their next encounter… Well according to the stuff of fairy tales and rom-coms, third time’s the charm right? Strap your seat belt because we are in for a ride as we dive head on into the chaotic w

Because the world has so much to offer, and yet so much to lose. Because every day is a new adventure, but also cause for suffering. Because life is unpredictable, but even in death there is no end to it all.   When facing so many uncertainties and mysteries, sometimes it is best to simply sit back.   Sit back and close your eyes.   Sit back, close your eyes and inhale deeply.   Sit back, close your eyes, inhale deeply and exhale

It is said that death marks the end; that death is the final stage of growth; that death is the ultimate goal in life. For many, death is a certainty, death leaves no space for doubt, there is no ‘and’ following death. Yet is that truly the case?   「Life is uncertain; death is certain.」   Kwon Chinsun had spent the majority of her life contemplating these words for she found nothing certain about death. Her childhood friend Kim Jongda

The smell of coffee lingered by her lips, a personal cologne that belonged to her and her alone. With every word spoken, every breath exhaled, every humourless chuckle, the rich aroma of coffee locked onto him, enticing him, tempting him,  refusing to release him.   Clutching his fists in anger, the helpless prey did not dare meet her gaze. After so many years why was he still so susceptible to her spell?   His pupils shrank as the sound of an apathetic finger

How much longer will this waltz last? How much longer until life will release its suffocating grasps around my throat and allow me to dive into death’s embrace?   With those thought swimming in his mind, Yuta floated his way through life, existing but not living.   Having lost interest in the world, being discouraged and disappointed, Yuta had long abandoned his physical body, simply yearning for the day that the dance would end.    

Throughout our lives, we cross paths with countless people. It happens during our everyday commute, when going to the local supermarket, while visiting the park. Without realising, there are certain people we pass by on a daily basis, yet most of these encounters remain insignificant, they are just one tiny water ripple in a river that is in constant flux. There are instances where we go through our whole lives unaware of people who have been walking the same streets, breathing the same air,

Cue in Park Jinyoung, a man who recently quit his job at a prestigious electronics company and is now roaming aimlessly through life as he contemplates on what his purpose is and what to do next.   Cue in An Youngsoon, a girl who has has set for herself a stable career path and constantly hyperaware of her surroundings and how she behaves.   He is stuck in a stalemate, unable to decide what direction to step towards. She has settled into a routine and never sto

A catalytic reaction caused by the clashing of opposing forces; that was the only way Junmyeon could describe the impact of Eunha’s presence in his otherwise routine and predictable life. Her entrance was accidental — quite literally — and forceful like a meteorite and she broke through the atmosphere that Junmyeon had neatly wrapped himself in.   So what happens when the seemingly opposite people like Eunha and Junmyeon come into contact? An explosion of emotions and the coll

Ryu Baram was a girl with her share of vices. Emotionally scarred, affinity towards alcohol and the occasional cigarette. Yet she exuded a certain charm, something that cannot help but intrigue those around her. Like the wind she made her presence known but always remained out of reach, out of grasp. No one could contain her. She was an elusive girl, that was for certain.   Baram was a girl of few words, and no matter what she maintained a calm and collected façade. Inside her

Go Hayoon used to think love was like a spiced apple cider at a winter fair. The twinkling Christmas lights would dazzle her eyes, blinding her from her surroundings, making her clutch tightly onto the drink as she wobbled her way through the fair, careful as to not lose a single drop.   That was however in the past. Now Hayoon hoped that if she ever does experience love again, for it to be like coffee. Not espresso coffee which shoots you straight in the soul, giving you no t

Things always get complicated when emotions get tangled. Just look at Jung Soojung’s love life, she always ends up getting caught up in a mess, though most of the time it really filters down to her bad taste in men. Byun Baekhyun however won’t shut up about the beauty of love and being open about emotions — after all, he is a hopeless romantic. As for a certain Park Chanyeol, he’s simply smitten but devastated at the same time because
