Losing her twin and then father, Yen loses all sense of home - until she meets Jun.

In the Lion City, if you don't work, you won't survive. So when six-year old Yen moves into a new apartment with her family, she's tasked with taking care of her younger siblings while her mother struggles to make ends meet.

But she's not alone. Support comes in the form of her new neighbours, who give her food, company, and a semblance of a family. She doesn't know it, but there's something growing, something she can't quite put into words.

It feels a lot like home.

hey. welcome to crossword.

before we begin, here's a quick note on the language. this short is set in singapore, where english isn't just english. because of the local culture, english is usually mixed with chinese and cantonese when speaking, into what we call singlish (singaporean english). for the purposes of this short, these will be romanised, and translations will be provided at the end of each chapter.

i'm excited to be able to share my culture with you guys - and i hope you're excited, too. thank you for giving crossword a shot. i hope you won't regret it.
