🌹Soft Romance

Kakashi Hatake, the ruthlessly cold and efficient ANBU Captain, has stowed away his emotions after living a life defined by loss. His defenses were perfect until an unassuming civilian woman who owns a quiet book café abruptly cracked open the metaphorical lock he had carefully placed over his heart. He tells himself he keeps coming back because the book selection is good, and the tea even better. Kakashi has never been good at lying to himself.

Lin, an ordinary young woman content with her quiet life, thought she had everything figured out—especially her relationship with Jake. However, everything fell apart when she was publicly humiliated at her own birthday party, discovering his affair with her best friend, Eliza, in front of everyone.

A 28-year-old civil engineer turned interpreter finds herself torn between a charismatic 39-year-old senior politician who sees through her carefully constructed walls and a 32-year-old business consultant from her past who represents the safe choice she always thought she wanted—until one permit application changes everything.

A crybaby jujutsu sorcerer who flinches at every raised voice finds unexpected sanctuary in the stoic Nanami Kento, whose legendary composure shatters each time her tears trigger an overwhelming urge to protect—and hold—her forever.
