Summary
Heat rejection is almost unheard of in unbonded omegas.
It’s a symptom of a broken bond, of an omega abandoned and neglected by the alpha they chose.
Sophia didn’t think it could happen to her.As KATSEYE’s only omega – and its carefully chosen leader – she’s spent years burying every instinct, every want, every impossible feeling for Daniela. Loving her quietly is survivable. Wanting more is not.
Her Dani has always been gentle. Steady and helpful through every weight Sophia is forced to shoulder. She’s calm and caring and nothing like the alphas Sophia has learned to fear, which is exactly why Sophia convinces herself Daniela could never want her back.
Then Sophia collapses onstage.
Heat rejection is fatal. Hospitals are too far away. And when the only guaranteed cure is a mating bite, Daniela must choose between letting Sophia die or binding herself to her forever.
What happens when you create a mating bond before either person is prepared for one?- Language:

Summary
On Daniela’s 22nd birthday, Sophia releases a statement that she is leaving KATSEYE.
The statement is Sophia’s quiet surrender. It is her stepping away from the five girls she loves and the career she has always wanted. But nobody else knows why—not the other KATSEYE girls, not the company, and not their fans.
They don’t know that over the course of their teenage years, their twenties, and into their thirties, Sophia’s love for Daniela is both her undoing and her sanction.
OrThe spiritual successor to "Didn't Mean to (Love You)", but can and should be read as a standalone.
Inspired loosely by Mel B and Geri of the Spice Girls, and real-life KATSEYE events.Series

Summary
"Yeesh, Concerned Mom does not look good on you." Jisu teases Yeji, knowing that Concerned Mom looks so good on her. This sucks. Jisu might as well break into the Blue House and spray paint the words "I love Hwang Yeji" onto it.
(or: Jisu has been pathetically in love with Yeji, who is progressing through her life so well: she has a kid and a legit job as a politician, and all Jisu has done was write love songs and babysit her kid.)
