Summary
“They said I lied,” Hongjoong said, remembering the looks on the guards faces, the way one of them had punched him in the gut and threatened to make him regret lying.
“Did you?” omega asked. There was no curiosity in the voice, like he was asking the question just to entertain Hongjoong or be polite, not because he actually cared for the answer.
He grinned. “Well, yeah. Had I told them that I’m a pirate and I actually had robbed the facility moments ago, I’d be heading straight to the gallows.” Getting hanged really wasn’t in his plans that day. “Are you going to tell me what landed you here?”
“They say,” the voice replied, mimicking his tone, “I stabbed someone.”
“Did you?”
“If I did,” the omega said, “he was a nasty alpha and deserved it.”OR: Hongjoong meets Seonghwa in a prison cell. They're supposed to part the moment they've escaped, but life, as it happens, has other plans. Having a deadly omega on his ship might be the worst and best thing that ever happened to him.

Summary
“I thought I’d lose you tonight,” Seonghwa breathed against his lips.
Hongjoong opened his eyes, just barely, to find Seonghwa’s lashes damp, his mouth parted, vulnerable and wanting. His thumb traced beneath his eye, slow and tender, “You’ll never lose me,” he said and took Seonghwa's hand in both of his. He pressed a kiss to his knuckles. Then another to the center of his palm, warm and breathless, as if trying to soothe the ache Seonghwa wouldn’t name.“Not as long as I can fight for you,”or;
A pirate captain walks into a coastal tavern. A barkeep looks up and something ancient stirs. Across storms, scars, and strange familiarity, their bond forms fast. But the sea has always taken what they love too deeply.
Love isn’t always enough to outrun fate.

When Seonghwa is unexpectedly chosen by Kim Seungcheol to serve as housekeeper to his son—Kim Hongjoong, the ruthless leader of an infamous pack—he steps into a mansion that drips with danger. The estate isn't a home. It's a battleground of instinct, hierarchy, and volatile power… and Seonghwa is a rabbit among wolves.

Summary
Kim Hongjoong doesn't want to be the crown prince. He never did. While his parents force him to attend boring meetings and boring lessons with the hope of making him a better leader, Hongjoong is thinking of the sketchbook hidden beneath his bed. The one full of dozens of designs, spectacular pieces he dreams of bringing to life and sharing with the world. But a prince can't be a fashion designer. At least, not publicly.
Park Seonghwa needs a job. Desperately. After being let go from his fourth job in a year, Seonghwa will take just about anything. Following a public breach of security involving the crown prince's personal assistant, Seonghwa takes a shot in the dark and applies for the job.
Thrust into the world of royals, Seonghwa is determined to make this job last. A task that proves to be difficult with someone as standoffish and impatient as Prince Hongjoong.
But behind that stoic demeanor is a gentleness and playfulness that Hongjoong has not felt the need to show anyone else in years. Not until Seonghwa's bright eyed optimism started to crack away at his walls.
As Hongjoong secretly brings his dreams into fruition, he begins to wonder if a different kind of dream is within his reach.

Summary
Yeosang was sixteen.
Too pretty for his own good. Too quiet. Too polite. The kind of beauty that drew unwanted eyes, even when he was dressed in plain clothes and bowed so low his forehead kissed the floor.
He belonged to no one.
And that was dangerous.
San met him in Kyoto.
In the home of a politician who liked to "collect" pretty things. Yeosang had been brought out to serve tea—to smile, bow, and disappear into the background. Like a vase. Like a doll.
San was already wealthy then. Already feared.
And the moment Yeosang stepped into the room—elegant, silent, too composed for someone so young—San didn’t look away.
Not once.
“Who’s that?” San had asked, even though he never asked about servants.
The politician laughed. “That one? Korean. Abandoned in the city years ago. I keep him around for display.”San’s eyes didn’t move. “I’ll take him.”

Instead of thanking him, Hongjoong grins at him. “You like Star Wars, huh?”

Summary
Seonghwa has been in love with Hongjoong since they were in high school. But before he got the chance to confess his deep rooted feelings for his best friend, he discovers that Hongjoong has spontaneously moved away without as much as a good bye.
Eight years with no word or sign from the boy that disappeared like a ghost, they're reunited at college when Hongjoong starts attending the same university as Seonghwa. He's momentarily filled with rage, unable to escape his past that he fought so hard to move on from when Hongjoong begins sharing the same friend group as him.
Now he's stuck seeing his face everyday in places he never thought was possible. He wants to confront him and demand an explanation; but the answers he seek will remain locked away in the darkest corners of Hongjoong's mind no matter how many times they end up in the same bed.
Those old feelings that Seonghwa thought were long gone have resurfaced and now he can't escape. If the only way he can get close enough to understanding Hongjoong meant giving up his body, then he was willing to do something so detrimental to his sanity; even if it ended up driving a knife straight through his lungs.

Summary
Three years ago, Mingi disappeared.
Captured. Brainwashed. Reprogrammed into the very weapon the rebellion swore to fight against. Yunho has spent every day since searching the ruins of their city for a glimpse of the boy who once whispered freedom songs into his skin.
Now, Mingi is the government’s sharpest blade: efficient, merciless, and nearly unrecognizable. Except for the way he hesitates. The way his eyes flicker when Yunho says his name. The way Yunho still believes.
Yunho has risked everything: his role in the resistance, the lives of those who follow him, and the trust of the men he calls family. All for the chance to reach the part of Mingi that still remembers what it means to love and be loved.
"He remembered my name this time."
And that might be enough to end a war.

“Noooo!” Hongjoong yells in despair at no one in particular as he clutches the cat keychain in his hands.
“What’s he realizing now?” Mingi asks and he’s met with Yeosang’s response of, “probably the cat cafe first date.”
“I’m allergic! That’s not romantic! I was sneezing the whole time!” Hongjoong cries. “I offered to fight a fucking dandelion!”

Summary
Captain and Starlight are perfect for each other. Hongjoong and Seonghwa? Not so much.
For two years, Captain has been Seonghwa’s refuge, his online friend, the one that makes the world feel lighter. Captain is soft, patient, and a rock when Seonghwa needs comfort, teasing when he needs a push. Their chats have always been a little flirty, but lately they’ve been drifting somewhere else. Somewhere Captain craves control and Seonghwa just want to let go.
And yet, when morning comes, Seonghwa’s reality is nothing like that. Next door to his newly opened flower shop is Kim Hongjoong: tattooed, cocky and with an infuriatingly hot tongue piercing and words sharp enough to cut deep. They clash every time they cross paths and Seonghwa just wants Hongjoong to leave him alone.
What Seonghwa doesn’t realize is that the asshole he can’t stand might bring more than just cigarette smoke and hurtful words into his life.

Summary
Seonghwa went to the mating flights with nothing but a sense of duty that demanded his presence.
Fulfilling a ritual without hope, without desire, without the faintest dream of change—the ice dragon had never imagined the changes this ritual would bring upon his life.
Bound now, with a still tender bond, Seonghwa and Hongjoong find themselves standing at the edge of new horizons. No longer alone, they carry each other’s strength, warmth, and comfort into the uncharted skies, where kingdoms collide and the unknown awaits.
Flying through a storm that threatened to make their bond waver, they became each other's anchor.
What sought to break them only proved the sharpness of their instincts and affirmed the unyielding power of what ties them together.

Summary
A sheltered, delicate ballerina raised to be perfect, graceful, ethereal, adored.
But Seonghwa wants none of it. He destroys himself in quiet ways, pushing his body to the brink, starving the beauty out of himself, trying to be too ugly, too hollow, too unapproachable, anything to be seen for his talent rather than his face.And then there's Hongjoong. An underground fighter who was never given a chance at perfection, a man hardened by violence and survival. When their worlds collide, he swears to ruin Seonghwa, to break him the way the world once broke him. But the more he tries, the more he finds himself unable to let go.
Because Seonghwa, in all his self-destruction, is the most beautiful thing he's ever seen.
