In the era where fictional works is popular with teenagers while there are still challenges in understanding English, the researchers conducted a study to develop the short stories with the title “Berteman itu Sulit”. One of the challenges is the lack of attractive learning material in grammar learning. The researchers propose to develop an English material based on the students’ own life context, that is mental health to make post pandemic learning process interesting. The short stories are used as English mindful material with 5 tenses included; simple present tense, present continuous tense, simple past tense, past continuous tense, and present perfect tense. In developing short stories, the researchers went through 4 steps; 1) story development; 2) validation; 3) publication; 4) try out to 10 EFL students from random schools. With the total of 13 parts, the stories are being published in Wattpad platform, the most popular fiction reading site in the post pandemic era. There are three things to be underlined as the result; 1) the content for grammar material is adequate; 2) the learning media is mindful and suitable for students to read; 3) the questionnaire is applicable to be filled by students as the try out.
