Summary
East Sussex, 1897.
When the disgraced aristocrat Joshua Hong accepts an invitation to Wexley Hall, he does not come seeking reconciliation. He comes in search of answers — about the scandal that ruined his life, and the man who caused it.
But when their host is found dead in his study, Joshua becomes one of twelve guests trapped by a raging storm — each with a motive, yet none with an alibi.
Among them: an old love who can still undo him with a single glance; a journalist looking for a story; a librarian with a crushing secret of his own, and a young man who would have paid any price for his freedom.
As the truth starts to unravel, he must figure out who to trust, who to believe — and who to protect.

Summary
It's early spring in 1886, when Yoon Jeonghan returns home after six years abroad, prepared to surrender himself to exactly what society has always required of him: dutiful son, respectable omega, and suitable bride to the man to whom he has been betrothed for the last seventeen years.
But The Season has just begun and promises to welcome Jeonghan home with all its usual excesses: advantageous marriages, ruined reputations, and the sort of spectacle Jeonghan can’t help but revel in. But neither the friends nor the life Jeonghan left behind have remained the same. They are all older now, wilder. More beautiful in their freedoms and far less interested in behaving as they ought.
Worst of all is Choi Seungcheol. Newly titled, gloriously eligible Seungcheol has become the very centre of society's attention. He is not the boy Jeonghan remembers. Then again, neither is Jeonghan.
Jeonghan tells himself he has come home for family. Unfortunately, first loves are notoriously difficult things to leave behind.
Or: Jeonghan, Seungcheol and years of yearning, with a side of PI CHEOLIN!
Lightly inspired by Taylor Swift's song 'Ivy'

Summary
Years after their middle school bond dissolved, thirteen men receive an unmarked envelope, each containing a single piece of paper with the logo of their old childhood group, something they had made just for fun—an ouroboros. The letter carried no name, only a cryptic message: “Come home. Justice awaits.”
Drawn by curiosity, guilt, and unresolved ties, they reunite at the place that once symbolized their friendship. Old tensions simmer as past grievances surface, and rebuilding trust seems impossible. However, their reunion takes a darker turn when they uncover the reason for their summons.
Secrets unravel as their fight deepens, and they realize that some among them may hold ties to Shinigami—the country’s most feared assassin group, blurring the lines between trust and betrayal.
As the group ventures deeper into the shadows, they realize that justice comes at a price—and sometimes, you must become the darkness to bring the light.
"In darkness, we find strength.
In shadows, we find family.”

Summary
Seungcheol unlaced his hand from Jihoon’s skin and returned to driving. “I spent a while trying to think of something you might like. A planetarium seemed obvious but it’s a two hour drive to one so I thought better save that for later. So then I thought, well, you like calmer things and you like learning. The opposite of a planetarium might be fun. How does the aquarium sound?”
Jihoon smiled. “Good. Really good. I love sharks.”
“Yeah?” Seungcheol grinned, “good. It’s a bit like you take me to the stars and I bring you to earth, but I haven’t worked out a romantic way of putting it yet."
♫⋆｡♪ ₊˚♬ ﾟ All Jihoon has ever wanted is to fall in love. Having finally moved out of his family home, he's quickly dragged to a masquerade party which leaves him acquainted with Radar Radio's popular, gorgeous host (and the record shop's most annoying customer), Choi Seungcheol.
