    Summary

    In a world where emotions don’t exist, Seonghwa thrives. He’s top of his class at Prestige Academy, destined to become great. When he’s one of the students taken by the Black Pirates, everything begins to unravel: his life, his beliefs, his own body, and the chip behind his ear that he thought was there to protect them.

    He has a decision to make. Leave and return to his old life and forget about everything he heard, or stay with them, and decide whether there is any truth to what their leader, Kim Hongjoong, says.

    Or, in a world that actively prohibits feelings, Hongjoong teaches Seonghwa what it means to feel everything.

    Summary

    When they were taken away from him, one by one, Hongjoong had found himself wishing he had never met them, had never known their names, and had never come to call them his family.  

    Perhaps it was better to have never loved at all, because the pain he and Seonghwa had felt was comparable to nothing. 

    But as Hongjoong ran after Seonghwa down the long hill, tripping multiple times over random rocks hidden within the long grass that brushed against them, he knew that perhaps he hadn't been quite right. As he ran and ran, following nearly blindly because his vision was blurry with tears, Hongjoong wondered if he had given up on his happy ending a little too soon. 

     

    Or: Fifteen years later, the eight boys who managed to survive the end of the world attempt to make good on a promise they all made drunk under the stars one fateful night. Except the world was never nice to them.

     

    The official epilogue to Rebirth; A New Age.

    Summary

    The warning was there, they had time to make it out. When the power went out without a moment’s notice followed by the water disappearing shortly after, Seonghwa knew that his screaming instincts weren’t to be ignored like his roommate told him. The portable radio they used only screamed static except for the occasional alarming words that no one believed because it was April 1st and it was all supposedly a big prank.

    That’s all it was, right? Some big prank? That’s what Seonghwa’s roommate told him at least, but look where his roommate was now.

     

    Or: Seonghwa attempts to survive during a zombie apocalypse and ends up meeting six loyal men and one incredibly cold-hearted leader to keep him company as they try to make it out alive.

    Summary

    Seonghwa opened his eyes, he hadn’t even realized he had closed them. The first thing he noticed was the thick leather boots in front of him. The next thing he realized was that the owner of these boots was talking quietly. Not to him but to the pirate beside him.

    “He’s alive, right?”

    “Yeah… But he looks like shit compared to before. His leg is definitely worse for wear. I thought you said it was just a scrape?”

    “That's what he told me, I didn’t exactly hold him down and strip him to find out, Yunho”

    Yunho sighed, and lightly Seonghwa felt the pirate's hand tap his shoulder. “Really?” The Captain questioned with an annoyed tone. “I don’t want to get stabbed Hongjoong…” Yunho mumbled.

    ;; Seonghwa is a merchant navigator aboard a ship that has been decimated by a notorious Captain and his feared crew, left alive and taken aboard by Hongjoong for reasons he doesn't quite understand.

    Hongjoong is the new Captain of the Halazia, and searching for a navigator who can lead him and his crew to a legendary place regarded once as a sailors tale until he finds a piece of a map.

    They need each other, whether they want to or not.

    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—soft, slow and lingering. Like a vow sealed in skin. 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.Or...is it?
