Chocolate Kiss Vol. 1: Forgotten Love Song
Bring something found. Find something lost.
The paradise island of Foxgrove hides a secret. It is said that a fox deity lives in the island's tallest mountain, Mt. Kitsune. At the foot of the mountain is an inn where, according to legends, one can find what they have lost if they trade something they have found, as long as the fox is pleased.
Vivi is the granddaughter of the owner of the Chocolate Kiss Inn. She returns to the island with her little sister in order to help her grandmother manage their family business, when her peaceful life is suddenly disturbed by the arrival of a VIP guest.
Leo, the VIP of Cottage 2, is a popular idol at the peak of his career. He visits the island to spend his vacation there and ends up getting close to Vivi. In truth, he is there in search of something.
Will they ever find what they are looking for? Or will they find something equally worthwhile?

Noting that they were acting suspiciously, she immediately walked to them.“What’s up?” she asked.Everyone glanced at each other, waiting for someone to talk first.“Well, Boss…” Isabelle, one of the receptionists, spoke up. “It’s just that som

Chapter: Family (Part 3)“Hey wait, wait... babe…!” Leo made a face to them and went after Vivi.Vivi went to a corner of the garden and folded her arms.She doesn’t know why exactly, but she is fuming mad. Not at Leo per se, but on the idea that she was forced to act out of character.She refused to look at him.“Come on, babe,” he said with insincere sweetness.“No one can hear you but me, idiot,” she gritted her teeth.“They might. Besides, this is good practice. Our first argument as a couple. How exciting!”The errant wind constantly blew her hair, and it was framing her face beautifully.

Chapter: Family (Part 2)Anthony walked toward Chocolate Kiss Inn. It was already dark and the streets were quiet, which was usual on the east side of the island. Here, people prefer the idyllic paradise lifestyle where they put a premium on rest, relaxation, and peace. Night life was not a regular occurrence here; those looking for something more lively at sundown were directed to the west side where, as locals would joke, no one ever sleeps. For the east side, night life was more drinking beer and having quiet conversation while watching the waves crash at the beach than anything else. Anthony knew that the investors’ meeting was this afternoon so he brought a six-pack, knowing that Vivi would probably like to unwind after dinner. He went straight to Vivi’s office, knocki

Chapter: Family (Part 1)Leo and Vivi both heaved a sigh of relief as they found themselves back inside the café. After talking to Grandma Zeri, the two quietly escaped the conference hall while the rest of the people in the hall were busy sampling the platter of bread and pastries from the café.Selene served them a glass of water each, bowing her head a few more times in apology. Vivi forgave her immediately, but gave her a warning to keep the fact that their relationship was fake to herself, which Selene quickly promised to do.“I guess there’s no turning back now,” said Leo as he watched Selene walk back to her post behind the counter.Vivi watched him in silence for a moment, trying to assess their situation. While she felt a sense of gratitude towards Leo for getting her out of that mess, it appeared th

Chapter: Girlfriend (Part 2)Vivi groaned loudly, cradling her head with her hands, after Mr. Morris left. Leo and Selene glanced at each other, wondering what to do next, when she suddenly sat up and looked in their direction.“Can someone please explain to me what just happened?” she demanded.Selene immediately bowed her head. “It’s my fault, Boss. I couldn’t leave Mr. Adams hanging in front of that awful woman so I ended up suggesting you as his girlfriend without thinking.”Vivi turned to Leo and glared. “And you,” she said. “I expected more from you. What the hell were you thinking?”“Kitty isn’t the type to give up easily,” he reasoned out. “I needed to give her a reason to give up.”

Chapter: Girlfriend (Part 1)Leo came into the inn’s cafe in the afternoon, planning to get a few snacks and an iced coffee to bring to the beach to eat as he read a paperback he brought with him. He went to the cafe instead of calling for room service that day because he heard Vivi was busy with a meeting with some of their investors. He was just about to leave when he was suddenly attacked with a bear hug. “Leo! I knew it was you!” The culprit was a beautiful young woman wearing a skimpy body hugging mini dress. A younger girl carrying a backpack followed behind her. “Kitty?” Leo exclaimed, recognizing her. “What are you doing here?” The woman in question brazenly removed Leo’s mask and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He quickly removed her arms aro

Chapter: CH 4Lia had just arrived at their 5th floor office when she was immediately swarmed by a number of ladies from her department giving her their congratulations. “What is going on?” Lia asked, confused. “Don't you dare act ignorant on us,” Vanessa, their PR specialist, said. “Yeah, Boss,” Michelle, the publicist, chimed in. “How could you hide such an important secret from us?” “I have no idea what you guys are saying. Can someone please explain first?” It was Vanessa, being the eldest in their team at the age of 35, who stepped up. “Since when did you start dating Sage Wilson?” “What are you talking about? Who?” “Boss, don't deny it

Chapter: CH 3Lia took a sip of her wine as she tried to assess the situation at hand. Across the table sat her Grandma Rose, who was busily chatting with the person she had hired to pretend to be her boyfriend, who in turn was seated right beside her. So far, so good. Sage had introduced himself as someone who works for Valerian Pharmaceuticals. She had to admit she admired the man’s acting. He was able to pull off the role of a company man so convincingly that he could discuss topics about the drug industry with her grandmother and calmly answer her questions while they waited for the food to be served. If only things would go this smoothly for the rest of the night… “So, Sage, tell me how you and my granddaughter met?”

Chapter: CH 1A black car pulled up to the side of the street in front of a posh condominium building in a high-class neighborhood. The car's back window rolled down, revealing a woman wearing dark sunglasses. She looked at the building's front driveway, which was currently being blocked by countless numbers of paparazzi, her lips forming a hard line. She rolled her window back up. “Take the back entrance,” she instructed the driver. The car moved once again, turning right at the corner. When the car reached the building's back gate, the driver flashed his ID and the security guard immediately opened the gate. He had seen them enough times to recognize the car without the driver having to show his identification, but he had protocols to follow. He was glad that these people unders
