Summary
Kim Hajin is a failure. There's no two ways to look at that objective truth. It's a truth that resonates through how others look at and ridicule him. It's a truth that echoes infinitely inside his head, compounding and doubling down on his inadequacies. It's a truth, despite the unconditional love of two parents that soothe but cannot dispel those haunting doubts.
Kim Suho is simply perfection. The desperate vessel and ideal of Hajin's "ifs" and wishes. Because Kim Suho, the protagonist of Hajin's novel, is everything Hajin wants to be for his parents and more. But, that story falls apart at the seams the same way Hajin has lost faith in himself.
Yet, as the common narrative dictates, everything begins anew with an innocuous email requesting to remake Hajin's novel.
***
Alternatively, the extremes of Korean culture break Kim Hajin into someone who feels much more acutely, and everything shifts to the left.

Summary
You Huo was once again stunned. Without rhyme or reason, he wanted to bestow upon this infuriating invigilator a nickname: Gi.
Fortunately, he reined in his tongue in time. Otherwise he’d shiver from how oddly fond that nickname would sound. With how easily it had rolled off his tongue, it was like he had said it many, many times before, and it almost seemed as if he was longing to say it.
It may be a trick of his mind, but You Huo sensed a vague smoky scent exuding from the man, followed by traces of gunpowder and ash. But those traces were very dull and indubitably faint, engraved into his pigeon-grey scarf as though they were left by a person's wilful and unrelenting grip from a certain time ago.
JiuHuo through stages of lovers, strangers, temporary companions and finally lovers again.

Summary
As part of his manager's twisted revenge, over-worked barista Bam reluctantly becomes an extra for Jahad Studios' latest romantic comedy.
Bam tries to convince himself that everything will be fine. And it would be fine, too -- except that he suffers from horrible stage fright. And his new co-star is ridiculously attractive. And Bam might possibly be falling in love with him.

Summary
His son is definitely avoiding him.
At first, Eduan was willing to believe that they just didn’t pass each other a lot. But after three days of trying to find his son, there was no way Aguero just so happened to always disappear when he was around.
How irritating. He’s actually sneaking around to catch his son for the sole purpose of interrogating him on why he wasn’t like every other Khun.
That sounds kind of stupid, now that he thinks it to himself.

Summary
Through life and death, their souls are tied.
In an unexpected yet expected situation, the main spotlights of the positive and negative side were transmigrated into an entirely different universe as well as a different dimension. It was something that was not supposed to happen in the Dimension they were in, but somehow... somehow it still happened. It isn't even surprising, the mortal who changed fate got played by fate. Was it safe to say that fate was only being fair?
Enough about fates and fair things, the GoD who was responsible yet innocent for this odd phenomenon had broken another rule of the Laws of the Twelve Main Gods and decided to give a 'guide book' to our dear Hero. A 'guide book' that would turn into ash as soon as the Hero finishes it.
Oh. And did I forget to mention that the Hero and Villain became biological twins?
