Little Pink Starfish

Bachelorette #1

The Snake That Swallowed the Pomegranate

One of the wealthiest and largest lands on the continent—Trastasa.
This land was ruled by the lord and omnipotent god, Amon, and his partner, Nine.
But unfortunately for the very human Nine, Amon was not a benevolent god.

“My most precious thing.”
“Do not be damaged, do not be marred. You must remain forever beautiful.”
“I would gladly soak you in blood and lick you clean.”

The grand temple that seemed like a perfect paradise on earth,
Yet because of Amon’s cruelty and indifference—as well as the many Leshas who were like his concubines—
Nine found himself burning with frustration every day.

One day, a new Lesha with rare pink hair and eyes arrived,
And this Lesha, Lan Gwen, captured Amon’s attention at first sight—something that had never happened before.
Consumed with jealousy, Nine secretly went to find him…
However, Lan Gwen turned out to be far stranger than Nine had imagined.

“To have received Sha Amon’s attention at the banquet was not my intention, Sha.”
“What…?”
“But may I ask why you came to my chambers, Sha Nine?
If I may be so bold, could it be that you wished to see this servant?”

Tormented all this time by Amon’s coldness,
Nine began to realise that he was strangely affected by the gentle way Lan Gwen treated him.

“For your sake, thousands or tens of thousands of humans are nothing.
You must trample over such things and live, my lovely one.”
“I have no interest in lofty beings like the god of Trastasa.
What I am interested in is the one bound to Sha Amon.”

A beautiful grand temple built atop the desert.
A god both tender and cruel, and a beautiful youth who appeared one day out of nowhere.
The peaceful routine and heart of Nine, which had seemed so stable, begin to split in two…

Bachelorette #2

Bitter Sweet Sweet Darling

“If this were a drama, I’d definitely be the petty villain side character.”
A villain who doesn’t even get much screen time.

Siwoo couldn’t say anything in denial—not a single excuse.
Because there was a watcher who observed his every move.

“Are you the one who drugged my actor?
If you don’t answer, I’ll assume you’re the bastard who did it.”

The shining memory he clung to during the hardest times after losing his parents—
That very Han Taerim, the subject of his years-long one-sided love,
had now become the blade stabbing him in return.

“Jung Siwoo.”

Taerim glared at him with an icy gaze that was almost cruel.

“Don’t even dream of acting again.
As long as I’m here, you’ll never step foot in this industry again.”

Branded as the one who committed a terrible crime in front of the person he had loved for so long.
Now the one he loved was demanding his punishment…
Siwoo couldn’t endure it any longer—he turned and ran.

Bachelorette #3

Jumping Coin

One day, the wizard Oz is transported to a different world—‘Earth’.
After a miserable period of homelessness, he’s swindled and ends up being sold to Club Domingo,
where he meets none other than the beautiful, kind, and famous actor, Rose Price.

“Y-you might be beautiful, but that doesn’t mean I’m just going to date you right away.”
Oz muttered, unable to meet Rose’s gaze. A long silence followed.
“But Oz,”
Rose said, looking straight into Oz’s wide eyes.
“I’m not just beautiful—I’ve got a good personality and lots of money. So it wouldn’t be strange at all to date me right away.”

A face so divine, it could belong to a messenger of the gods.
Oz’s mana gate weakens by the day, but he can’t stop his heart.
Still, the prophecy that “Your lover will inevitably leave you”
forces him to resist Rose’s dangerously tempting charms…

“Mr. Oz, what was it you said you were good at? Was it magic tricks?”
As the great and brilliant Third Pillar of the Magic Kingdom, Symbios—
“No. Not magic tricks. Magic.”

In this world where magic is considered nonsense and nothing more than fantasy,
the wizard Oz declares proudly.

Bachelorette #4

Evening of the Imperial Palace
Work Introduction
“Political marriages are all the same in the end, aren’t they?”

Eve, a knight, becomes engaged to the crown prince Onil, whom she had loved from afar.
Using the political marriage as a stepping stone, Onil rises to become emperor—
but treats Eve with nothing but coldness.

“Yes, you said you liked me. Are you disappointed?”
As her heart was being torn to shreds, Eve barely managed to respond, yes.
Onil laughed lightly.
“Then, to avoid disappointment in the future, it would be best not to expect anything at all.”

To make things worse, after returning from a year-long war,
he even brings in a concubine.

“Prepare to welcome Zigmund of Atema as a noble consort.”

Worn down by constant wounds and her burning, one-sided love,
Eve is offered a hand by a beautiful man—the imperial concubine Zigmund.

“Because…”
Eve’s lips trembled with intense emotion.
“Because I like you, Your Grace.”
Onil doubted his ears for a moment. What did she just say?
Zigmund also looked at Eve, wide-eyed in shock.
“Because I like you, Your Grace! That’s why I keep meeting you!”
“Who likes who now?”
“Your Gra—”
Onil, who had no intention of hearing that damn confession a third time, shut Eve’s mouth with his hand.

A strange love triangle unfolds in the imperial palace—
centred around the empress.

Bachelorette #5

Candy Goblin

A cracked glass jar lay buried in the earth for a long time.
Thanks to a small creature that passed by, it barely began to sprout a tiny sense of self under sunlight and moonlight.
But as time passed, the crack deepened, and the jar’s clarity began to fade.

Then one day, a noble scholar happened to find the jar.
When the scholar shed blood for the dying glass jar,
at last, the goblin within the jar was born.

*

Lee Biwon, the star actor of Korea’s top entertainment agency, Dobby Entertainment.
He always wore a smile that enchanted people—
but in truth, he was Ibi, a day-goblin, the only one who could walk under the sun.

Was he the only non-human in this secret-filled company? Of course not.
The agency itself had been established with the permission of goblin king Igok,
and Dobby Entertainment had become a sanctuary for all kinds of supernatural beings.

That is—until one day, two goblins vanished.

“The goblins were taken by hunters.”
“…Hunters? What kind of hunters?”

Hunters—those who capture and kill monsters.
In all of Ibi’s 500-year-long life, he’d never encountered one—until just a few days ago.
Their first meeting was in a dark alley, with the stench of blood.
But strangely enough, their second meeting came in the most unexpected of places.

‘Why on earth is he here?’
“I’m a fan of yours, Mr. Lee Biwon.”
“…What?”

It was at his fan signing event.
The hunter, who left a terrifying and powerful impression, piqued Ibi’s interest—
and would soon return for a third encounter that would shake his goblin life to its core.

“I hope I can meet my scholar again soon…”

The wish he had carried like a habit for so long,
the dream he could never forget, though he tried—
was finally about to come true.
