It might not be the right time
I might not be the right one
But there's something about us I want to say
'Cause there's something between us anyway
I might not be the right one
It might not be the right time
But there's something about us I've got to do
Some kind of secret I will share with you
I need you more than anything in my life
I want you more than anything in my life
I'll miss you more than anyone in my life
I love you more than anyone in my life

"what should i read?" search no further (modern edition)
I have a Notion database full of everything I've read from 2020 worth mentioning - webnovels, novels, manhwas, webtoons, manhuas, whatevers and they're all rated out of 5 stars. Setting it up and organising it took 3 hours of my life that I'll never get back. Below is a list of modern-day manhwas, manhuas and mangas that I really recommend from it!
Brief disclaimer: I will mention to please be mindful of some of the content. For example, one manhwa features SA (though not between the main couple obviously), and I'm gonna mark it, but I don't remember what trigger warnings apply for the rest.

Now I wanna talk about some of the Manhwa series that I recently read in the last couple of days...
Our Secret Alliance
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Manhwa Status: Completed Troupe: Childhood best friends turned lovers. THE NO. 1 BEST FUCKING "CHILDHOOD FRIENDS TURNED LOVERS" TROUPE MANHWA OUT THERE💘!! PERIOD😤!!!
No, seriously. I really enjoyed reading this series, and OMG !!! Female lead Se-i Yun and male lead Jaeha Kim are so fucking adorable!!! Se-i is a cutie, for sure, and seeing Jaeha as a boyfriend in this story raised my "boyfriend" expectations to an unrealistic height...
Also warning: you'll encounter a soft, bashful male lead here... so beware!!!
Tumblr media
Seasons Of Blossom
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Manhwa Status: Completed This story has four different parts: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. And damn, the stories are so good, y'all!!
(This is gonna be a LONG rant here btw...)
I really loved the 1st part of the series "Bomi's Flower" which is the season of Spring. The sweet female lead (Bomi Yun), one of the most popular and studious girls in school, has a little crush on the 2nd male lead (Jaemin Lee), another popular kid in school, but later finds out that her best friend/2nd female lead (Seonhui Kang) also has a crush on Jaemin. But the thing is everyone in their school ships Bomi and Jaemin together as a romantic couple. Seonhui also shows her genuine support to Bomi as a good friend if she ever tries to get together with Jaemin, but Bomi knows that deep down inside her heart Seonhui is hurting by the fact that Jaemin likes Bomi and everyone ships them, meaning her love towards Jaemin is unrequited. So to save her friendship with Seonhui and also to save Seonhui from a potential heartbreak, Bomi gets into a fake relationship with the male lead (Jinyeong Choi), so that Seonhui and Jaemin get the chance to be together... But the thing is Jinyeong is the complete opposite of Bomi. Unlike Bomi, Jinyeong is blunt, ruthless with his words, always has a straight bored look on his face, and has an "I don't give a fuck" kinda attitude. He doesn't fuck around and hates those typical high school dramas and bullshit. Even though he's a gaming otaku and only has two male friends, he's quite famous among the students; guys want to be friends with him because of his game recommendations and girls think he's really cute. Also despite the fact that he's shorter than Bomi in height, my man has balls for sure when it comes to speaking up about his mind or taking action for anything.
This story talks about how opposites attract one another, how to discover and learn new yet unexpected things, how to fall in love for the first time in life and that sweet feeling like falling in love in your youth, and how to break out of your own shell and discover a new side of yourself. This 1st part of the series will give you nothing but fluff, sweetness, and butterflies.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then later comes the 2nd part of the series, the season of Summer aka Hamin's Flower...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Okay, this one was really tough to get through. Not because the story sucked or anything. It's because of how painful, angsty, and heartbreaking it is. In the 1st part (Bomi's Flower aka Spring), we get to know that the 2nd male lead Jaemin Lee had an older brother named Hamin Lee (the golden child of the family) who died 6 years ago by committing suicide. We don't get much info about Hamin Lee in the 1st part (other than the fact that he's Jaemin's brother) until it comes to an end and the 2nd part begins. The 2nd part opens up with Jaemin Lee and the gang bumps into a 24-year-old art college student named Somang Han who happens to be Hamin's girlfriend from high school. Through Somang's narration and flashbacks, we get to know what kind of person Hamin Lee was, how she and Hamin met and fell in love, and how he spiraled into depression which resulted in him ending his own life. And also through Jaemin, we get to know more about Hamin as a son and a brother and how their parents' rough parenting pushed him to darkness and depression. At first, when Hamin was first mentioned in the 1st part, I didn't think much about him and only felt empathy for Jaemin for losing his older brother. But after getting introduced to Hamin in the 2nd part and learning more about him through Somang and Jaemin's POV and narrations, I couldn't help but bawl my eyes out for him in every single chapter. It got even worse for me since I already knew where the story was going and what was going to happen to Hamin in the end (it was more like the Shinichiro Sano effect from Tokyo Revengers like you know who Shinichiro is and what happened to him but that doesn't stop you from falling in love with him despite him being dead throughout the whole series). RIP Hamin Lee; my heart will always go out to you, forever, always.
The 2nd part Hamin's Flower aka Summer talks about some heavy topics/subjects like - dysfunctional families, rough parenting going wrong, dealing with societal burdens and depression, losing your loved ones and dealing with the aftermath, your first tragic love story, handling regrets and dealing with your traumas, how to overcome those traumas, and finally how to let go of your past and move on with life.
Hamin's Flower left me in such a numb and gloomy state that I couldn't read the other two parts (Autumn and Winter), but I'll try to get back and read them sooner or later. Even though I haven't read the complete series yet, I'll still give out a biased statement - I really, really loved Bomi's Flower and Hamin's Flower, and these two parts will always gonna be my favs from this series (doesn't matter to me if Autumn and Winter are better than these two).

Cheese In The Trap
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Manhwa Status: Completed The oldest series in this list...
This story... this story... Oh God, where should I begin?!?! I can't believe that I didn't read this until now!! This is a truly mature love story. If you read this wanting a simple light college romance, this is not for you. While there are very cute interactions between the main character and her love interests, it is a very well-thought-out and complex manga - definitely the most realistic I have read thus far. The character development is out of this world and adds a sense of tangibility to the characters that you really don't see in fiction normally. To explain, the important main and side characters in any story are always bound by rules of development to identify them as cogs in a narrative; we have underlying expectations about what the characters might do, or how they might subvert those expectations. But, this webtoon is the study of social relationships and the nature of people. You get to see that there will always be some sort of social hierarchy, that there are meanings and repercussions beyond what you expect to happen in life, and that we all have some degree of victim and perpetrator in us. We all cope and process in different ways, while also continuing and evolving in life the way we know how. Unlike anything I have ever read before.
Also, this story is under the tag of "Psychological Drama" and it's all because of the male lead named Jung Yu. God, I've such a love-hate relationship with him, y'all!! Like I love him but also hate him at the same time. He's mysterious, charming, alluring yet so damn confusing. Also, the fact that he's a sociopath with a bit of a Yandere-ish tendency in him and that he's also obsessed with the female lead (Seol Hong) in a very twisted way??? He's a walking red flag for sure, but then again not... In short, Jung Yu is a complex character and my simple brain just can't comprehend him. I also love the female lead (Seol Hong), the 2nd male lead (Inho Baek), and Seol's two best friends (Bora Jang and Euntaek Kwon). The only important side character I despise is Inho's twin sister Inha Baek (don't ask why; just go and read it for yourself and you'll know why... also I hate those bully characters too btw, just so you know...).
Tumblr media
I Don't Hate Us
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Manhwa Status: Completed Troupe: Childhood best friends turned lovers.
Another series with "childhood best friends turned lovers" troupe done right!!
The female lead (Wonsu Ha) and the male lead (Jaesu Sang) have been childhood best friends since their middle school days. They had been best friends through high school and college until one day Wonsu got herself a boyfriend. Jaesu has romantic feelings for Wonsu, but she only sees him as a friend and has platonic love for him. Wonsu then breaks up with her boyfriend, not because the guy is a cheater but because they aren't that compatible with each other, so they mutually break up and separate. Wonsu also gets separated from Jaesu because his romantic feelings for her were getting in the way of their friendship at the time, and also her relationship with her ex-boyfriend took a toll on her mentally and emotionally, so she cut off all her connection and simply focused on her studies and graduating from university. Years later, now working in a small yet growing company, Wonsu reconnects with an adult and more mature Jaesu, who now works in a multinational corporation, and that's when sparks and butterflies start to fly left, right, and center. Almost all the characters are likable, the story and the plot are realistic, and overall it was an enjoyable read for me truly.
Also warning: you'll encounter a soft, bashful male lead here... so beware!!! I mean, the fact that despite the bad boy looks and everything, he's so cute like a puppy is fucking adorable, yo!!!

My First Love Hate
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Manhwa Status: On-going Troupe: Childhood best friends turned lovers
This one came out this year and so far I'm really enjoying it. Just like the previously mentioned series above, the female lead (Eunha Kang) is relatable, funny, smart, studious, strong-willed, and whatnot. The male lead (Seungmin Ha) is Eunha's childhood best friend since elementary school but they stopped hanging out with one another ever since he became a delinquent back in high school despite the fact that they went to the same school and were in the same classroom. Years later, Eunha got into a prestigious university in Seoul and later learned that Seungmin was also at that university!! Not only that, he also stopped being a delinquent for good and suddenly started dressing up like a nerdy college boy. When Eunha asked what he was trying to do, Seungmin simply replied that he was returning back to his old self again and wanted to reconnect with Eunha... But things got a bit spicy all of a sudden when a tattoo-bodied 2nd male lead named Ryu Seonhoo walked into the scene and Eunha had to tutor him for the GED test on a regular basis...
Also warning: you'll encounter a soft, bashful, puppy-like male lead AND 2nd male lead here... so beware!!!
Tumblr media
Just Twilight
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mahwa Status: Ongoing Troupe: Strangers to friends to lovers
I won't say anything about it... JUST FUCKING READ THIS SHIT ALREADY!!!
If you're a fan of another famous manhwa series called "Positively Yours", then you'll also love this series since it's written by the same author. The female lead (Junyoung Yun) is literally my spirit animal and the male lead (Beomjin Kwon) is such a husbando material, y'all... like, just look at him!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
That's all for now... I'll make more Korean manhwa recommendation posts again very soon!!!
My manhwa recommendation list posts - Link 1, Link 2, and Link 3.

Eu te amo tanto J, tanto, você é minha vida...
eu não sei como você se tornou isso tudo pra mim, tenho certeza que você também não sabe como eu tomei tanto espaço na sua vida, mas, eu acho que você se tornou para mim o que sempre foi. . .
Sonhei a vida inteira com um amor como o nosso, nesse grau de pureza e verdade, sentia dentro de mim como algo que provavelmente eu não viveria com ninguém, sou uma romântica em uma vida em ruínas, você sabe, eu sempre fui Alice a sonhar e a viver em sua própria Wonderland, tão alheia que olhava pra essa realidade e pensava que não existia um amor assim, com certeza não pra mim, meu destino no máximo seria arduamente amar outros de longe, porque de perto doía de tão raso que tudo parecia. . .
te vi ao acaso em meio a uma longa fase de apatia, o vazio era tudo que eu sentia e as pessoas. . . eu não pertencia, nada me diziam, se quer me ouviam, eu só queria partir, você sabe como eu nunca quis estar aqui, mas eu tinha aceitado continuar mesmo sem saber como e a noite eu chorava e me desesperava em silêncio porque eu não entendia o que eu tava fazendo aqui quando nada queria, a doença eu não conseguia superar, a melancolia me comia dia após dia. . .
e então naquele dia enquanto eu insistia. . . eu te disse "Oi", queria deixar as coisas melhores com aquela garota que eu não entendia porque não me queria, só queria fazer as pessoas se sentirem acolhidas quando em nenhuma achava lugar para mim e não fazia ideia de quem você era direito, eu não sabia nada, só sabia que havia algo em você que me atraía, era algo familiar, livre de qualquer pesar e você, não sei como, me fez falar por horas, na verdade a sua surpresa era você não parar de falar, eu não sei, mas logo me veio a vontade de te abraçar, amei te ver, digo, seu coração, toda a sua dor, tanta coisa que você não via, eu lembro de saber bem no fundo o quanto você precisava ser amado, o quanto eu queria todo bem do mundo pra você. . .
dormíamos e acordávamos conversando, meu dia, mesmo longe de você, era preenchido com a sua presença, sua voz e nossas risadas, mas ao contrário de todas as minhas interações sociais a estranheza estava em você não me causar ansiedade alguma, eu me sentia quebrada, completamente errada, mas com você ser apenas eu bastava, sabe eu nunca me senti o bastante para ninguém, sempre fazia questão de me afastar logo, não queria atrapalhar, acabava sempre sendo uma pequena coisa esquecível, passei a me retirar de todos os lugares e pessoas por isso, sempre foi insatisfatório pra mim ser metade e nunca sentia que podia ser inteira. . .
um dia acordei e sabia que precisava dizer o que sentia por você, eu te amava e te queria na minha vida para sempre, todas as pessoas que conheci partiram, eu nunca consegui acompanhar ninguém e eu era algo pelo o qual ninguém queria ficar, não valia a pena, eu sei, só dizia adeus, me acostumei e sabia que você também poderia ir, não importava, você tinha um lugar no meu coração pra sempre, naquele momento eu sabia que você tinha despertado o amor mais puro que alguém já despertou em mim, eu te queria tanto bem que eu juro que poderia morrer por você se fosse preciso, só pra você viver, porque sua existência bastava para dar sentido a minha. . .
pra minha sorte você sentia o mesmo, você, aquele que não sabia como sentir nada, me amava com tudo que tinha e não queria mais me soltar ou me perder. . .
Dia após dia apesar da distância e doenças que lutamos diariamente, apesar da tristeza e de todo pesar ousamos nos amar, afinal tínhamos escolha?
talvez
a nossa foi não desistir nem de nós mesmos e nem um do outro, qualquer outra coisa seria loucura.
E a cada dia sinto esse amor crescer, semanas, meses, anos e mil crises podemos passar, passamos e iremos, mas sei que nunca deixarei de te amar.
Você é aquela pessoa que mesmo longe tá mais perto do que qualquer outra poderia estar.
Entranhado na minha alma, parte do meu ser, amor é você!
a minha pessoa, a favorita em todo mundo, universo e qualquer galáxia, a vida da minha vida, você entende?
É você.

Something about us - A Taiora one-shot
Just here quickly to drop this after being on a big hiatus (sorry...), because it's @jamesthedigidestined's birthday today! And he became a very special friend to me this last year, during good and bad times, so this is my present and a thank you to him <;3
James, we've talked about so many things. Such different things. All things Taiora, but also other animes, Avatar the Last Airbender, personal stuff and so on. I tried to compile some of those things into a one-shot, obviously Taiora, because that was what initially brought you to me. And there's something about us ;)
All the love! Big hugs ^^
Taiora one-shot | Genre: Angsty domestic fluff? | Characters: Sora Takenouchi (POV) x Taichi Yagami | Wordcount: 1.778
Something about us
Sora, 7:12pm Taichi…?
Taichi, 7:14pm Yes?
Sora, 7:14pm Are you available?
Taichi, 7:17pm As in single? Nope. I’m dating you, remember?
Sora, 7:18pm No, you ass. As in could you maybe come over to my place? Like, now?
Taichi 7:18pm Already on my way!
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
She read his message over and over again, unsure whether he was serious or not. It hadn’t always been like that, he wasn’t always the fastest to feel or know she wasn’t feeling well. But as they all grew up, Taichi did too. And when it came to Sora, he didn’t need a reason to come over any longer, Taichi had a sixth sense.
One thing that had never changed was that, in the end, he was always there for her. Sora had always appreciated that a lot. They had each other’s backs, were basically ride or die for the other. And so it was only a matter of time before they moved from football buddies, to friends, to best friends, even back to just friends, to unexpected crushes, to eventually boy- and girlfriend.
Lovers.
Sora’s lips curled up at the thought of that word and the association she had with it. Because even though people had said it was only a matter of time for the two of them to finally realize, at first, she herself hadn’t seen it coming at all.
When the realization of love struck, it came like a storm. Thunder and lightning made the sky lit up in a sudden manner. A whirlwind raged over her lands, leaving a track of confusion behind. Then rain poured down and slowly washed away doubts and concerns. And as the storm of emotions lied down, a cool breeze made stormy clouds drift apart, showing Sora the sun she had always been with, but had never seen like that one part that completed her clear blue skies.
They called it “love at first sight, but a bit late”. 
Sora glanced at the clock. 7:46pm.
She hadn’t expected him here already, though she would lie to herself if she said she wasn’t disappointed.
With winter here and Christmas around the corner, Sora felt rather uneasy. Her mother had said it was annual winter moodswings. Which was very plausible, but she had never wanted to admit this was a thing she suffered from. There hadn’t been much time or room for Sora to be vulnerable towards others as she needed to be the strong and bigger one. Everyone counted on her. She was the one who had to take care.
But with Taichi being her rock in every way, she knew she had to exhale those old habits and let herself be taken care for. 
“Let me take care of you, okay?”
Taichi’s words were engraved in her memories. Loud and clear.
*RING!*
Pulled out of her thoughts abruptly, Sora heard the doorbell ring through her little apartment. She hurried herself to the door, making it look like there was no time to lose.
“I’m sorry I’m so late,” Taichi said, his breath creating small clouds in the cold air right outside Sora’s front door. He then stepped inside, closing the door behind him and starting to take off his jacket and shoes.
“Here, let me help—”
“Na-a, missy,” Taichi quickly interrupted, “I can do that myself. You, however, can take this and bring it to the couch or bed. I’ll be there before you know it.” He said, pressing a plastic tote back into her hand and pushing her towards the living area. With one hand he gestured her to move and not stand still, a sweet smile on his face.
As been told, Sora took a seat on the couch and setting the bag to her left side. It didn’t take long for Taichi to follow, plopping into the seat on Sora’s right and in a swift motion, pulling her onto his lap and into a warm embrace with Sora’s legs on either side of his. She wrapped her own arms tightly around his neck and buried her face in the crook of his neck, taking in his scent that she grew to love so much.
“Thank you,” Sora mumbled against his warmth radiating skin.
“For what?”
Sora loosened her grip on him, taking back a head an pulling away from him slightly so she could look at him straight.
“For being here with me.”
Taichi smiled, cupping her face with his hands and pulling it back close to his, but leaving just enough space between himself and her for him to speak. “Anytime.” He said before eventually closing the gap and pressing his lips against hers.
She could feel him kiss kindly, with care and no rush. He took his time for her and she absolutely loved him for it.
“Now tell me, what do you need, or want to do?”
Sora shrugged her shoulders. “I don’t know…”
“Oh!” Taichi exclaimed with excitement, reaching over to his left where the plastic tote bag was laying. “Haven’t you wondered what was in there?”
“I guessed it had something to do with food?” Sora questioned, trying to tease back.
“Haha. But no, it’s the reason why I was so late.”
Out of the bag came a headband with tiger ears on it. Sora looked at him confused.
“You were late because of hair accessories?”
“Basically, yes. I don’t know, I walked past a store on my way here and they were displayed in the window. I thought they were cute and they reminded me of you, ” Taichi smirked while placing the hairband in Sora’s hair.
“Not the first time you’re buying me hair accessories. I guess that’s a very special Yagami Taichi love language?”
“Perhaps. I also bought a bunny one for myself. The puppy one was too adorable to leave behind, so I’m bringing that one to Koushiro tomorrow as an early Christmas gift. You though…”
With his hands he roamed down from Sora’s hair over her side to her waist. He pulled her closer and Sora could feel him getting excited.
“You’re my feisty tiger~”
His lips quickly found hers, covering them in kisses and Sora could only follow kissing back. A little make out session wouldn’t harm anyone, Sora thought to herself, but tonight was not a night like that.
She gently placed her hands on Taichi’s chest amidst the kissing, pushing him back slightly.
“Not now.”
“Sorry, my bad.”
“I didn’t say I didn’t like it though,” Sora quickly followed up. “I’m just… not in that kinda mood…”
Taichi showed her a reassuring grin. “I understand, Sor, it’s okay if you’re not in that mood. We can also just cuddle and talk. Like, what’s going on in that pretty head of yours?”
Sora shrugged, pouting.
“You know you can talk to me, right?”
“Mmhm,” she hummed, giving him a half smile as she rolled off of his lap and back into her seat next to him on the couch. She curled herself up against him, words unnecessary, and she turned on the television. There was a football game on which seemed like the perfect thing to watch for now.
Half an hour went by without sharing words. Taichi had brought them something to drink and snack from the kitchen a while ago, but Sora had not yet touched anything. She wasn’t in the mood, she was just feeling low, numbly staring to players playing with a ball over a field back and forth.
“Football or tennis.”
What? Suddenly, Sora turned her head into Taichi’s direction. She looked at him with confusion.
“You have to choose. This or that. Football or tennis?”
“Ehm… Football, I guess?”
Taichi smiled. “Obviously, I would choose football as well!” He happily exclaimed. In his hand he held his phone, the screen lighting up and his eyes scanned the text on it. “Here, I have some more for you.”
Sora smiled fondly, knowing this was his way to cheer her up for the night. Her back straightened and she decided to play along with his little game.
But with every choice she had to make, Sora started to feel a bit more low again. Taichi rambled on, excitedly explaining all of his choices in depth. It was what made him Taichi. Impulsive yet thought through. So innocent and playful yet serious but funny. The thing was, however, that most of his choices -if not all- didn’t line up with hers.
He was being honest, choosing what he thought was the better thing among the options. Sora wondered whether Taichi heard what she chose and if he took her choices into account. A feeling of disappointment overwhelmed her, doubts about them being together flooded her thoughts.
“We’re so not compatible…” Sora sighed, her eyes directed to the ground as she spoke quietly.
“What do you mean?” Taichi asked back, his voice sounding worried.”
“It’s just… You picking all the opposites makes me wonder whether our connection is strong enough…”
There was a short silence. Wanting to fill it up, she wanted to sigh once more, but was interrupted by Taichi’s warm hand holding her chin up and pulling it towards him. His own face closing distance between their faces as well.
“I like us being not alike in everything,” he smiled sweetly. “That way you complete me. And that makes me happy!”
Sora’s eyes grew wide, a bit watery from tears stinging. “Y-you do..?”
Taichi nodded, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her close and hugging her tightly one more time. “Now stop worrying, okay?”
She smiled a wide and thankful smile and she was sure he could feel it starting to get its sparkle back.  
“It might not be the right time, I might not be the right one, but there’s something about us I want to say, ‘cause there’s something between us anyw—”
Teasingly, Sora pushed him away and playfully smacked his arm, smirking at his antics and lyrical quoting all the same.  
“Hey! Stop you woman, you’re hurting me..!”
“Then stop quoting Daft Punk lyrics, you baka!”
He laughed, his warmth radiating through her skin like sunshine after rainfall. And she felt thankful, re-understanding why they had always worked so well. Her eyes locked with his, trapped into their intense but sweet staring at each other.
“I love you so much,” he mouthed, knowing he didn’t need to use any sound, his eyes completely focused on her and nothing else.
Taichi saw her, whether it were their similarities or complete differences. Sora’s lips curled up into a relieved smile and shook her head no, thinking about one more difference left. Something about them.   
“I love you more~”
