The four times Minjeong tries to ask Ningning out and the one time she doesn't. Or, Minjeong's crushing on Ningning and all attempts at confessing her feelings end in failure. She thinks the world must be against her, yet she still has to try.          

Minjeong notices one girl and thinks to herself that there wouldn't be a chance for her to get to know her, but fate apparently has other plans.

Winter and Ningning hop on a zoom call.

The classic friends-to-lovers trope is overrated for Ningning.

they had long succumb to solitude — while everyone else moved on, they stayed the same.

a look at minjeong and ningning's daily routine as inseparable roommates. it's a relationship so comforting, warm and sweet like morning tea, heart-fluttering because it's always the little things they do for each other that has others yearning for. it's hard to believe they aren't dating, really.

ningning, an inquisitive princess by nature— is in captivity. winter is an irritated witch who is just about done with every advance the princess tries to make on her.

it gets harder you know, trying to contain the stubborn feelings behind the scenes, hoping no one would catch them. and maybe minjeong and yizhuo aren't the only ones resisting. but for now, it's enough.

and until yizhuo can say the words she longs to hear, minjeong would cradle her close, bestowing yizhuo a song between her ribcages. or winning arranged marriage au, where minjeong falls too early when she shouldn't.
