At the same time, Hayashi Kazuya was compelled to assume a crucial role after tragic events kept on befalling his loved ones.

Would their encounter give them second chances of gaining more hopes in the face of the future? Would the reappearance of Himari's first love break the ties of their Fate? And, what was the secret that Himari concealed even from her loved ones? "Uncle, when would you give me an auntie?" "Uncle, why don't you marry Teacher Kato home?" "Teacher Kato, do you find my uncle handsome?" Both of them exchanged glances before they hurriedly looked away with the tips of their ears reddened.

"Meow~ Meow~" The orange tabby cat happily agreed to the little girl's words. --------------------------------------------------------------- Commissioned cover by yuuri_e (Instagram).

In the powerful empire of Orendalia, Kael, a dominant alpha prince, had everything that anyone could want; a dominant gene, the king’s favour, and extreme wealth. He spent his entire life embodying perfection: an Alpha heir raised to inherit the throne, feared for his dominance, and respected for his control. But his world shatters when he is told the impossible... He is pregnant!!! 'How can that be, I am an alpha!' With no explanation and no memory to justify it, Kael is forced into a truth that threatens not only his claim to the throne but his very identity. In a court where weakness is hunted and secrets are weapons, even a whisper of his condition would mean ruin. He goes to great lengths to hide his pregnancy as he investigates the mysteries around him. As his body begins to change, Kael is pushed to a corner. But when he tracks the father down to the king of the neighbouring kingdom, Alek Falanae, the twisted humour that's his new reality becomes even more dangerously complicated. Will Prince Kael manage to navigate these new waters and find solid ground again or not?

Some memories don’t leave us. They just sit quietly in one corner of the heart, waiting- for a smell, a voice, a place- to wake them up again. The Scent of Our Yesterday started as a simple village-to-city love story: two kids, a childhood bond, a breakup of distance, a reunion in a busy modern world. As I kept writing, Ha-rin and Jae-hyun refused to stay “simple”. Their love kept circling back like time itself… so the story also grew into something bigger. This series is about: childhood innocence in a small village, college fights and ego, corporate politics and pressure, misunderstandings, second chances, and one love that keeps coming back, even when time, destiny, and people try to break it. Later, you’ll also see a touch of mystery and time—loops, echoes, fragments of “what if we had chosen differently?”. But at its heart, it is still the same: one boy, one girl, one long journey of growing up, getting hurt, healing, and finding their way back to each other without losing themselves. I wanted the story to feel close to us- emotional, little funny, a bit dramatic, but always honest. If while reading, you remember your first crush, your campus days, your family, your old village, or that one person who still feels like “home” somewhere in your heart- that is enough for me. Thank you for staying with Ha-rin and Jae-hyun… through their yesterdays, echoes, and tomorrows. -- qwrhsth4

"I was never fragile,I was just waiting to bloom where he could see" ---- Kieran lived his life like a Jacaranda in bloom- fragile, fleeting, yet unforgettable. Bullied out of school by Sebastian Cross, the golden heir with everything, he rebuilt himself in the shadows: sharp-tongued, stylish, and surviving on scraps of dignity. Years later, a twist of fate lands him in front of the one man he swore to never see again. Only this time, Sebastian isn’t the reckless senior who mocked him for being different — he’s the CEO, and Kieran is his new secretary. Sebastian should have forgotten him. But the sight of Kieran — delicate yet unyielding, soft but impossible to break — drags old hatred into dangerous obsession. What begins as a war of power in the office soon turns into something neither of them can control. The boy Sebastian once despised now becomes the only one who makes him show up, the only one who makes him burn, the only one who makes him bloom. In a world of roots and thorns, even the strongest tree can’t ignore the petals that fall at its feet.

In a world ruled by alphas, obedience is survival and omegas are never meant to stand beside kings. Kendrick Walker has been raised to be perfect. As the heir to Walker Corporation, one of the most powerful empires in the country, every step of his life has already been planned. His future includes wealth, influence, and a strategic marriage to Alehandra Peters, the brilliant alpha heiress whose family stands beside his in the hierarchy of power. There is only one rule Kendrick has never questioned: alphas rule, and omegas submit. Then he meets Damian Roberts. Damian is a male omega, rare, stubborn, and dangerously unwilling to accept the place society has assigned to him. He has spent his entire life avoiding the attention of powerful alphas who see omegas as little more than tools for alliances and bloodlines. But the moment Kendrick catches Damian’s scent, everything changes. Because Damian isn’t just another omega. He’s Kendrick’s fated mate. A bond like theirs is more than forbidden……..it’s explosive. Claiming Damian would destroy Kendrick’s carefully constructed future, shatter his engagement, and ignite a scandal capable of bringing down the Walker empire. And Alehandra Peters, the woman destined to stand beside Kendrick, will not allow an omega to take what she believes is hers. As whispers spread through elite society and enemies begin to close in, Kendrick and Damian are forced to confront a dangerous truth: their bond is no longer just a secret romance. It’s a rebellion. And in a world built on dominance and submission, loving the wrong person might be the most dangerous act of all. But some scents are impossible to ignore. And some rebellions cannot be contained.
