Swipe Right on the Planet (and Maybe Love?)

Gemma hadn’t been in Evergreen Harbor long, but she was already used to the sound of things—sputtering wind turbines, the low rumble of passing freight trains, and the occasional squawk of protest from a raccoon in the dumpster behind her container apartment. What she wasn’t expecting, though, was a knock on her door.

She cracked it open to find a man who looked like he had walked straight out of a compost pile and into a thrift store. His beanie was slouched like it had feelings, his flannel was two threads away from falling apart, and he had the confident energy of someone who owned exactly zero mirrors—but when he spoke? Oh. Oh no.

He was brilliant.

Knox Greenburg introduced himself with a handshake and a biodegradable clipboard. He talked with passionate intensity about air quality, solar panels, and the importance of grassroots eco-legislation. Gemma was instantly swept up in it, nodding vigorously, signing his petition, and even asking if she could help canvas sometime. It wasn’t attraction, exactly—not yet—but there was a warmth there. A spark of something familiar. Something shared.

He left with a thank-you and a hopeful smile.

She didn’t think much of it again until a few nights later, stretched out on her reclaimed couch, S-pop playing softly through her laptop speakers, and her feet up after her first exhausting but exhilarating interior design gig. Out of curiosity—and okay, maybe loneliness—she opened the dating app she had downloaded on a whim.

Swipe. Nope. Swipe. Maybe. Swipe—wait.

There he was.

Knox Greenburg. A bit scruffier than she remembered, somehow, but unmistakable. His profile said something like, “Let’s talk green energy over fair-trade espresso” and “Big fan of bees, composting, and emotional vulnerability.”

Gemma stared at the screen for a long second. Was the universe playing matchmaker? Or was this the trash-fueled fever dream of a woman who’d spent the day fixing leaky pipes and trying to match couch swatches to wallpaper?

Still. It felt kind of…serendipitous.

So she swiped right.

🌺 Gemma Kim: Season One – "Pink Dreams, Green World"

When life gives you lemons, Gemma Kim turns them into lemon-pink soda, serves them in heart-shaped cups, and adds glitter ice cubes. Obviously.

Born and raised in Sulani by her warm, wise grandmother, Gemma grew up where the ocean was her backyard, love was always abundant, and money… well, let’s just say it didn’t show up much. But even in their modest beach shack, Gemma had her treasures: a fuzzy old radio with a frayed cord, a tiny screen that played S-pop music videos on loop, and her own vivid imagination.

She’d spend entire afternoons choreographing dances in the sand, humming along to the latest S-pop hits and daydreaming that one day, she’d meet a dreamy S-pop star with great hair, a soft smile, and a dramatic rain-soaked solo under a neon sign. Bonus points if he wore eyeliner and had a tragic backstory.

After her grandmother passed, Gemma packed up her dreams (and her s-pop record collection) and moved to the mainland. Her new home? Evergreen Harbor—a grungy, green-tinted neighborhood where the recycling bins outnumber the streetlights. The only place she could afford was a converted shipping container with creaky floorboards and suspiciously sentient dust bunnies… but it was hers.

And slowly, she made it her own.

Dumpster finds turned into DIY furniture. Broken lamps got pastel pink rewiring. Walls were plastered with S-pop posters, mood lights, and custom wallpapers in dreamy hues of cotton candy blue. If you squint a little, it already kind of looks like a set from a low-budget romantic S-drama. Just the way Gemma likes it.

Her cousin Akira Kibo—musician, city-dweller, and occasional text message responder—welcomed her to San Myshuno by dragging her to GeekCon. And though it wasn’t exactly a sold-out S-pop stadium show, for Gemma, the arcade lights and cosplay chaos were pure magic.

In just a few days, she discovered a few things:

She’s surprisingly good at cooking (only set off the fire alarm twice).

People really like her jokes.

Dumpster diving is basically a sport (and she’s a natural).

Interior design? A hidden talent.

After one successful job redesigning her cousin and his roommates'’ living room, she was promoted to interior design technician. With some simoleons in her wallet and a twinkle in her eye, Gemma started thinking... maybe it’s time to live a little.

So, she downloaded a dating app. Her first date? Sweet, mature, and completely ready to settle down—which Gemma, bless her chaotic heart, absolutely is not. Not yet. She still has a lot to discover—like how to fix a leaky faucet, or what it’s like to go to a real S-pop concert, or fall in love so hard it needs a slow-motion montage.

One thing's for sure: Gemma Kim is just getting started.

With a heart full of hope, a closet full of pastel outfits, and a dream of love that sparkles brighter than a disco ball, she’s about to turn Evergreen Harbor into her own personal music video.
