    Short stories, incredibly sweet, and progressing super fast!!! The first one is about childhood sweethearts; the male and female leads grew up together. The female lead reveals her feelings after a drunken moment around chapter 10, and it gets super sweet afterwards. It's over 70 chapters long. The second one has a cold male lead at first, but he becomes very charming later, with lots of sweet little moments. It's over 50 chapters long. Both are great, highly recommended!!!
