COLLAGE

Title: COLLAGE Genre: Healing; Manhwa; Sweet; Promo; College Life; First Love In a season when cherry blossoms fluttered wildly in the dry wind, I found myself falling for a pale-faced poet. My first unrequited love was like a debilitating illness, each pang of longing forcing me to regulate my hot breaths and silently gnaw on the bitterness, yet that spring couldn't deny being the most romantic season of my life. Baek Seong-hyeon, a struggling college student, returned to school with a jumbled schedule due to a mix-up in course registration. While contemplating dropping a literature lecture that failed to capture his interest, he happened to notice a flyer looking for note-takers posted on the school bulletin board. Just 2 sessions a week for a monthly salary of 1.5 million won. Without second thoughts, Baek Seong-hyeon quickly sent a text to apply. "I need you to start taking notes from the next two days onwards." "Wait, which lecture are you talking about?" "It seems like we might be attending the same lecture." "At that place, it's for the Literature Theory and Practice I lecture." Little did he expect that, in his wildest dreams, he would encounter the poet – the one who would completely turn his life upside down. Top: Ji Yu-hwan (23 years old) A deaf poet battling with hearing impairment. He is regarded as a literary idol, breaking printing records with each new collection of poems. Critics once hailed him as a solitary bard standing amidst the most despairing landscape to craft verses for ravaged souls. His words, once depicting twisted suffering, suddenly bloomed into strange melodies after crossing paths with Baek Seong-hyeon one spring day. Bot: Baek Seong-hyeon (24 years old) A modest and mature student who grew up in an orphanage. After years of grappling with life, he became numb to loneliness. Baek Seong-hyeon is usually reserved and taciturn, but inexplicably, whenever he stands before Ji Yu-hwan, he yearns to express so much. For the first time in his life, an intense desire to have someone has taken hold of him, even though that spring had only just begun. Read if: You want to immerse yourself in a story about two lonely souls slowly falling for each other, starting with sinking into each other gently and eventually being captivated by unexpected emotions, light touches from fingertips, and blending into each other's souls. Quote Close to Heart: "From now on, I will always find you amidst the distances between each word. No matter how harshly you hide in rigorous sentences, I'll place commas to embrace you. You just need to exist within them, as beautiful as a poem. That's all I ask."
