The Ocean Beneath Her Feet
[COMPLETED] Born as the Yuasa family's illegitimate child, Yuasa Shouko was grateful for having a loving half-sister and caring aunt. Yet, she was utterly dismayed when her evil father and stepmother wanted to sell her off to a violent young master. But, why did she suddenly wake up to five years in the future? And, since when did she get married to Kashino Kyoya, the young master of the Kashino family? Wasn't he supposed to marry her half-sister? Shouko lost all the memories of the prior years. Despite that, Kyoya's gentle and respectful treatment put her at ease as she scoured the waters of her lost memories. She also gained a more supportive family at the same time. Yet... As time went by, Shouko realized Kyoya and everyone were hiding a dark secret from her. What made him so scared? What led to her loss of memories? ********** Yuasa Shouko: Throughout her life, she always felt like she was standing above the ocean. While nervously waiting for the ocean to swallow her whole, she still pushed herself to bravely dance over the surface, enjoying her life. It was not until one day when she woke up that she realized she had lost a portion of her life. And then there was him. The one man who was patiently guiding her back to the shore even at the risk of drowning himself. "You know, I am jealous of my past self because she experienced the love you gave her. I want to remember my feelings but... it's only void in my mind. What should I do?" Kashino Kyoya: He has closed off his heart since he knew even his closest person could throw him away. He thought her appearance was just a trivial addition to his life. Little did he expect she could crack open the hard shell covering his heart. For the first time, he chose to allow himself another chance to love and be loved by someone. But, he never thought to have his hope shattered once his existence was erased from her mind. Facing the new beginning, he vowed to make her happier and loved. "No matter who you are, the past you or the one with me right now, I love every part of you. So, don't be afraid. I won't ever make you question your trust in me." ------------------------------------------------- Discord: hansora#1507 Instagram: hansora_author AI-generated cover
What It Is That You Find As Something Wondrous?
As the paints on the T-shirts needed to be properly dried, after having tea and snacks, it was time for Shouko to storytelling to the children. Director Shinohara and a few carers led them to a spacious room.
A wide and fluffy carpet was laid in the center of the room. Most of the little buns sat on the carpet. A few of them sat on low stools behind their friends who sat cross-legged on the floor. Every one of them looked so eager in anticipation.
Director Shinohara and Ms. Sasaki joined them as well. They chose to sit on the left side of the room. Their attention was focused on Shouko and the children.
"Auntie, what story would you tell us?" A boy with a dimple on his right cheek asked once Shouko sat on the single couch opposite them.
"It is about Kaguya-hime?" A girl chimed in excitement, "I have always loved the story!"
"Ah, I don't like it! The story is so sad," Another girl puckered up her lips, pouting while looking at her friend.
