About the work

A closer look.

Custom love story or an anniversary gift: send me two names and one moment - how you met, the thing you never said, a night you keep replaying. What comes back is not a fortune cookie. It is one scene on a real Seoul corner I walked myself, and one detail I noticed while I stood there - usually the thing the scene turns on. Romance and slow drama by default. A custom story for someone you miss, a birthday gift or a wedding gift: same door. What you receive: - One finished scene, about 700-900 words, in English. Korean names and places. - A location I check before writing, so the walk is walkable and the light at that hour is real. - Delivered as a private PDF within 72 hours. One revision included. Sample, so you can judge the writing before you send anything. Names invented, place real: The lock terrace above the plaza, Namsan, an hour before dark. The trees were bare, which Yeonjin had not expected. She had imagined leaves. What she got was thin black branches against a low sun, with a red radio tower standing through them, older than both of them. They each had a padlock and a marker. Minwoo clipped his to the railing, stepped back, and did not like how small it looked next to the others. "Everyone's is small," she said. Below them, people crossed the plaza in black, going somewhere else. The stone held the last of the light in stripes. He wrote on the lock and turned it so the writing faced the railing, not the path. "Who is going to read it there?" "Me," he said. "When I come back." First look free: send the two names and the moment, and I send back the opening paragraph before any money moves. If it is not for you, keep the paragraph. What you send me stays private: names and details never get published, and nothing is invented about real living people beyond the scene you asked for.
