To Love and To Be Loved/jaehyunnova
[MATURE CONTENT: RATED 18+] A dysfunctional arranged marriage founded on the grounds of friendship, business, and love. What happens when the love is regrettably one-sided, and infidelity comes crashing the complicated and miserable whole ordeal of a narrative? Catastrophe. A series of broken hearts, broken dreams, and broken well-beings that will never be the same again. Eunae Kim had lived her whole life with Yunoh Lee, her best friend, whom she had always fought the world with. They had known each other since they were little, and from then on, had become each other's rock. There were a series of ups and downs along the way to maturity—a long, bumpy, rough road of testing everything they got to give in and eventually crumble into ashes like how the world wanted them to be. There were a couple of crestfallen setbacks that broke

To Love and To Be Loved/jaehyunnova
O N S R A (Boro) (v.) to love for the last time; a bittersweet feeling of knowing that a love won't last. [TW]: mention of mental disorders/illness. "Eunae, come on now, you turtle head. We're going to be late!" "Oh crap! Wait! Hey-I said wait!" Swiftly giving her wrist a swipe, Eunae grumbled and frustratingly shook her head. It was 6:30 AM. The dazzling sun was just barely painting the whole horizon of the above, and coloring the lives of the awake, yet here they were, already sprinting to the bus stop with heavy bags slung around their shoulders and sweating with disheveled hairs. Their short lower limbs desperate to take bigger steps than what their feet could ever feasibly make

"Yunoh, what the hell! No foods allowed. Can't you read that, you moron?" Eunae hissed with the softest voice she could ever have. They were doing a trigonometry assignment in the library when she found out Yunoh sneaked in some chips in his bag. It was not long enough when he began eating them one by one, while snapping his head left and right, looking ever so foolishly as if trying not to be caught. "Oh, come on, there's no freaking way they would see me." "Of course, they won't see you," Eunae muttered sarcastically with a smile, rolling her eyes, and clasping her hands together on top of the table. "They would only hear you because you eat like a goddamn pig! At least, close your mouth!" "Whatever you say, sunshine!" He yelled playfully, quickly earning them a loud sneer of 'be quiet!' from the librarian that made them snort. "Gosh, Yunoh, what are you even doing," Eunae slap

"Hey sunshine, you good?" "Yup," Eunae lied, trying to mask the lonely tone dripping from her voice. It was her birthday, probably one of the happiest days she had always looked forward to. But with the unprecedented change of how her world had turned upside down, the most awaited day that was usually filled with glitters and rainbows and a hundred more memories of laughter was nothing, but a dull normal day. It seemed unimportant enough not to be even remembered. If anything, she honestly wanted to forget it and all the previous birthdays she had before this. Everything was running business as usual just like how the recent years had been. She was at home right after school, while her mother was busy building their company from square one to provide her a better future. Eunae was more than happy that her mother had already recovered and began living than merely existing. It took

To Love and To Be Loved/jaehyunnova
M U T T E R S E E L E N A L L E I N (German) (adj.) To be utterly and extremely alone and lonely that no one could even find you or reach for you, physically and mentally. Over the years, a lot has changed, most especially between Eunae and Yunoh. They were more mature now and have been building their own paths to reach their dreams. Yunoh had been taking over their company, the same way Eunae did for theirs. Who would have thought that after a few years, they would be where they were now? Handling huge companies that provided means of living not only for their families, but also for hundreds if not thousands of people working for them. Maybe above all, was making use of the same surname not only on legal documents, but rather in a daily basis of merely being addressed. Eunae h

[TW]: implication of rape [Flashback] "Is there anything wrong?" Eunae asked, quite warily. The atmosphere during the car ride home was unfamiliarly cold and distant. It was both terribly and questioningly odd that even though he was just right beside her, she felt as if he was a mile away out of her reach. Yunoh furiously went inside their new home and banged the door shut, "You don't know?" "I don't know why you're so angry. Tell me what's happening," Eunae almost begged, letting the hem of her wedding dress lick the floor as she chased after him. "Fuck off!" He yelled, pushing her forcefully that she fell to the ground. "I trusted you, I fucking trusted you! Goddamn it!" "What are you even saying? I don't understand!" "Cut the bullshit!" Yunoh roared, forcefully pulling her up by the arm. He pushed her agains

"Place it down, you're going to tire yourself." "I can handle this, it's not too much work." Yunoh took the dirty plates from Daeun and shook his head, "I don't want to risk it." Baffled with the unusual view before her, Eunae weaved her brows together as she quietly scrolled down her contacts. Yunoh had always been protective towards Daeun, but it was too bizarre to see him become way overprotective overnight. "Babe, it's fine, I'll do the dishes." Shrugging, Eunae continued to scroll down her contacts before sending a text message. She had to move the family dinner since Daeun did not seem to have any plans on leaving any time soon. It would be too much work to push through with the simple gathering when Yunoh would most likely cancel it if he were too preoccupied with his mistress. She would just be wasting her time on nothing. Swiftly

To Love and To Be Loved/jaehyunnova
L I E F D E S V E R D R I E T (Dutch) (n.) the sadness, depression, or pain one feels about a love unanswered or love that is gone. As the sun left the horizon and the moon and the stars stole its rightful place, Eunae found herself still crouched in the corner of the dark hotel room without any food in her stomach nor any blink of sleep. Her mind continued to race with the miserable events that took place in her life, her heart falling into irreparable pieces remembering the news she received earlier on that stabbed her like a knife, and her throat closing in with the lump of breath caught up within. She basked in pain as she berated herself with multitudinous questions about the choices she had made, actions she had done, opportunities she did not take, feelings she had suppressed,

To Love and To Be Loved/jaehyunnova
C W T C H (Welsh) (n.) a warm, affectionate hug, cuddle or snuggle that gives a feeling of a safe place or home. Eunae was strolling by the beach and basking in the morning sun when she met a little girl playing in the sand. After spending days of crying her eyes out in the hotel room, she finally decided to go out and relieve everything she had been feeling. The space had been nothing but suffocating, and she knew she had to go out to breathe. Locking herself in a four-walled confined space almost drove her crazy. She knew she needed to escape. "Hi, sweetheart, may I know what you're doing?" Crouching beside the little girl, Eunae wondered as to what must have taken her interest. There was nothing, but millions of particles of sand shaped into di

[Flashback] "Tell me who forced you to marry Eunae because the last time I checked, it was you who you wanted to marry her out of your own will." His mother taunted, and it only made him angrier. "Out of my own will?" Yunoh scoffed. "Do you honestly think I could just watch the business to crumble down without doing anything? I might have chosen to marry her, but it wasn't out of my own will. It was out of helplessness and desperation!" "Then you could've told us," his father started with a strained voice. "You could've told us the truth instead of lying that you've been meaning to marry her because you love her. Damn it, Yunoh! She was like our own daughter too, and you had the audacity to do this?" his father yelled indignantly. And almost instantly, Yunoh flinched seeing him shake in anger. Never had he heard him talk in such a manner and never did he see him this exasperated. Steam was practicall
