King Jeff
By @آرین عبداللهی
Amidst the vibrant, competitive world of a prestigious Thai university, Jeff reigns supreme. As the charismatic lead singer of the campus's most popular band, his chiseled good looks, magnetic stage presence, and enviable six-pack have earned him a legion of adoring fans. Girls scream his name; guys emulate his swagger. But behind the dazzling smile lies a profound loneliness, a constant need for validation that his rockstar persona barely masks. Meanwhile, Arin drifts through the same university as an invisible specter. Shy, reclusive, and utterly friendless, he's content to exist in the shadows, his quiet world untouched by the dazzling socialite. When a chance encounter forces these two disparate lives to collide, Jeff finds himself drawn to the quiet boy who sees past his facade, while Arin is thrust into a world of intense emotions and dangerous desires he never imagined. Can their fragile connection survive the scorching scrutiny of public opinion and Jeff's own self-destructive tendencies?

Ein anderer Blick
By @Becky Sambuca
Seok arrives at Ellington University, an enigma immediately captivating and alienating. Whispers follow him; some students laud his exotic appeal, while others treat him as a peculiar specimen, their thoughtless remarks cutting deep. His heart, scarred by past superficiality, braces for the inevitable. Then, he stumbles upon Tazaki in the quiet sanctuary of the library. Unlike the others, who reduce him to his Korean heritage or physical appearance, she sees past the surface, engaging him with genuine curiosity and a refreshing lack of pretense. Seok, shielded by cynical walls, initially dismisses her kindness as another performance. But Tazaki, drawn by an intuition she can't explain, finds him impossibly intriguing, a complex puzzle waiting to be understood.
