Elin Bluebell Chen has poured her heart into Bluebell Bakes for years. Her cozy Singapore bakery is filled with warmth, flour-dusted aprons, and the sweet scent of fresh bread. Life is simple, safe, and just the way she likes it until a tall, charming stranger wanders in. Axton Creighton is an international billionaire with a reputation for brilliance and control. He is used to commanding boardrooms but not the quiet comfort of a little bakery or the woman who makes him feel at home in a city that isn't his own.

In the heart of Seoul, Dr. Akhiera Smith, a 37-year-old Filipino-Australian surgeon, begins a new chapter of her life. Behind her calm and poised professionalism lies quiet anxiety — the lingering ache of a past that taught her to survive alone. Hoping that work and routine will fill the emptiness, she finds herself instead drawn into a friendship that will slowly, tenderly change everything. At the hospital, she meets Dr. Hyunwoo Kang, a warm, witty orthopedic surgeon whose easy humor hides his own scars. What starts as an ordinary workplace friendship soon becomes something deeper: late-night talks on the rooftop, laughter shared under the rain, quiet care during long shifts. Together, they find comfort in the small, ordinary moments that begin to feel like home. Over two years, their bond evolves — from colleagues to best friends, from quiet companionship to unspoken love. Each season in Seoul brings them closer: cooking disasters that end in laughter, festivals under the city lights, hospital nights filled with compassion and exhaustion. Both are afraid to confess, fearful of breaking the precious peace they’ve found. When illness, jealousy, and emotional vulnerability finally strip away their walls, Akhiera and Hyunwoo are forced to confront what their hearts have long known — that love isn’t sudden or dramatic, but patient, steady, and found in the rhythm of everyday life. Their confession beneath a starlit rooftop marks not an ending but a beginning. In each other, they discover that “home” isn’t a place, but a person — the one who listens, stays, and chooses you again and again. True Home Happiness is a tender, slow-burn romance about healing, belonging, and the quiet magic of ordinary love — set against the vivid heartbeat of Seoul, where two souls learn that sometimes, the simplest moments hold the truest joy.

The world is diverse and flourishing. Humanity has changed, and with it, brought in a new era of prosperity. Males and females still exist, but the spectrum from which humanity is cast has broadened. With the introduction of alpha, omega, and beta, humanity has evolved even further. In such a word, Dr. Andrew Knox, known environmental researcher, is happy being a beta male. It has made his life easier by being middle ground, and as much as some wish he was one way or the other, he’s happy being who he is. Thriving even. He works in a world renowned research facility. He makes friends easily, and his projects are always funded. He even found someone who he thinks he could end up marrying if things continue in the right direction. That, and the vacant house next to his apartment building gets bought by a new neighbour. A cute, but cautious omega who relies on Andrew as a beta for help. Andrew couldn’t be happier. He loves being a helper, and loves when people rely on him. All in all, Andrew really thinks he has everything made. That is, until a research project with shoddy data is thrown back into his face that he has no recollection of working on, and all of his reputation disintegrates in between one heartbeat and the next. Heartbroken, it isn’t until Andrew wakes up, chained to a wall that everything becomes clear. He becomes a test subject to one of the scientists that he trusted. That he expected would never harm him. The life he had known, where he was a respected researcher was ripped out from underneath him. His identity and everything he’s ever known is stolen from him from a crazed researcher who he had trusted, maybe even loved. He has to relearn who he is, what he is, from scratch. Thankfully, he has one person in his corner. He just never expected to have to rely on someone whose shoulders were so small. This is an a/b/o story, and will have those tropes associated with it. I hope you enjoy :)

"Hey! Why did you undress?" I said without glancing at him, only to perceive his genuine and humorous laugh. "What happened to you? Why do you look so scared? Oh come on, don't you dare think nasty of me". Again, with his joyful and teasing laughter. I just shut my mouth and ignored him. I focused my glare on the floor, shivering cold in my sopping wet dress. "Didn’t you say you wanted to stay for a while, and that you don't want to go home yet? It's not good for you to stay in your soaked dress for very long. I'm serious, and I don't want you to get hypothermia. So, you better slip off that gown and hang it on the railing to dry a little. Doesn't it feel heavy?" He looks serious, delivering his point. He's probably right, but that seems uncomfortable. Disrobing in front of Ziggy while ogling over his naked body, it feels so awkward to me. He is my best friend, my hero and if there is something that is most important in my life, it is to not lose him. I tried hard not to fall in love with him because they say relationships are complicated, and being in love with your best friend and failing hurts double time. What if it's too late for me to realize that he is more than just a best friend, but really my first and only true love?

If you’re unwilling, I’ll find someone else who can get the marriage certificates today.” His expression darkened as he pulled her close. “Once offered to me, it’s mine alone.” Unfazed, Arwen asked, “So, do you accept? If yes, we’ll get the certificates now.” “On one condition,” he said. “I don’t do contract marriages. The woman I marry will be the woman I share my bed with. If you agree, then we’ll—” “Not a problem. Let’s go,” Arwen said without letting him finish, pulling him into the Civil Marriage Bureau.

The forest was a labyrinth of shadows and secrets, where the full moon reigned like an indifferent goddess. Eliza moved forward with uncertain steps, her white dress torn by branches that seemed eager to trap her. The air was heavy with humidity and danger, and the sound of her ragged breathing was the only echo in the midst of the darkness. But she was not alone. She knew it. Lucian followed her, his steps silent like those of a predator stalking its prey. His presence was an invisible weight hanging over her, a bond she could not break no matter how hard she tried. When she finally stopped beside a clearing bathed in the silver light of the moon, he emerged from the shadows, his tall, dark figure projecting a threat impossible to ignore. “You always run,” Lucian murmured, his voice low and dangerous, like the purr of a restrained beast. “But I always find you.” Eliza spun around sharply to face him, her blue eyes shining with a mix of defiance and fear. Her heart pounded uncontrollably, but it wasn’t just because of the danger he represented; it was because of the undeniable attraction burning between them, like a fire that could not be extinguished. “You can’t keep doing this to me,” she snapped, though her voice trembled. “You can’t control me.” Lucian smiled, that crooked smile that seemed to promise chaos and pleasure in equal measure. He stepped closer to her, closing the distance between them with a ease that stole her breath away. “Control you?” he asked softly, leaning toward her until his warm breath brushed against her skin. “I don’t need to control you, Eliza. You already belong to me.” Eliza wanted to protest, but the words died in her throat when he lifted a hand and brushed the back of his fingers against her cheek. His touch was gentle, almost reverent, but there was something dark behind it, something that made every fiber of her being tense. “You are mine,” Lucian whispered. “Even if you fight it, even if you deny what you feel, you cannot escape me.” Eliza closed her eyes, trying to block him out, but her body betrayed her mind. The connection between them was an invisible tether pulling her toward him, a bond so deep it seemed impossible to resist. When she opened her eyes again, she found him staring at her with an intensity that completely disarmed her. “This is wrong,” she murmured, though her voice lacked strength. Lucian tilted his head toward her, his lips brushing hers in a gesture as tempting as it was dangerous. “The forbidden is always the sweetest,” he whispered before capturing her lips in a fierce, claiming kiss. Eliza felt the world disappear around her. Only the two of them existed under the crimson moon, trapped in a dark, seductive game from which neither could escape.
