Summary
➳ sᴇᴏɴɢᴊᴏᴏɴɢ _❝The sea protects those who protect her. Are you willing to become hers?❞
Lieutenant Park Seonghwa has always upheld the Navy’s mission to bring order to the seas. But when he’s captured by Kim Hongjoong, the enigmatic captain of the pirate ship Maristella, his black-and-white view of justice begins to fracture.
Far from ruthless criminals, the crew of the Maristella fights for the oppressed, defying the corrupt Empire Seonghwa once served without question.
As a relentless Navy admiral hunts them down, Seonghwa and Hongjoong must decide whether to trust one another to uncover the secrets of a legendary Treaty that could reshape the fate of the seas.
Caught between loyalty, betrayal, and the stirrings of love, Seonghwa must choose: the law he’s sworn to, or the freedom he never thought possible.

Summary
➳ Woosan___ “He was my brightest star, and I was just a planet in his orbit. And now that he’s gone, I don’t know which way to turn.”
In a small seaside village, Wooyoung and San have shared everything since childhood, their dreams, their secrets, and an unspoken bond they never dared to name. Their refuge is an old, hidden cove by the ocean, a place only they know, where they escape the world and make promises for a future filled with hope. But as they grow older, the lines between friendship and something deeper blur, and neither can find the courage to reveal their true feelings.
When San is diagnosed with a rare and terminal illness, Wooyoung is forced to face the unthinkable—life without him. Now, with time slipping away, he must find the courage to hold on to every moment before the waves carry their dreams away forever.

Summary
“The cold makes everything feel smaller. San makes the apartment feel the same.”
San doesn’t have time for friendships. With a scholarship to maintain and a future riding on his success, he’s built walls high enough to keep distractions out. Wooyoung, loud and reckless, is exactly the kind of chaos he doesn’t need.
Wooyoung doesn’t like silence. He fills every space with noise, with laughter, with anything that keeps loneliness at bay. But his new roommate is ice-cold, boring, and arrogant and no matter how hard he tries, San won’t let him in.
They clash. They fight. They swear they’ll never get along.
But winter never lasts forever, and some things bloom when you least expect them.

Summary
➳ Woosan___"Freedom isn't handed over. You fight for it. Bleed for it. Or die trying"
In a dystopian city where underground fight rings rule the streets, Wooyoung and San are the fiercest and best-known names in the game-and sworn enemies in the pit. But when The Ringmaster rigs a match to kill one of them, survival and fear forces them into an uneasy alliance.
One wrong move means death. One right move could spark a rebellion.
They never planned to trust each other. They never planned to think of running. But if they want freedom, they'll have to risk everything-and maybe even each other.
Fight for survival. Bleed for freedom. Lose anything but your faith and soul.
or: Wooyoung would rather die on his feet than live on his knees.

Summary
When ATEEZ arrives in World Z, Hongjoong has little time to sleep. When he does find the time, he's haunted by dreams that almost feel like memories, or even premonitions. He never expected any of those dreams to play out in front of him, especially not one so....
How could he have failed to bring all of his friends home?Yunho found himself sitting next to his brother. His brother-- breathing, smiling, laughing... all things Yunho never thought he would see again. As happy as he was, however, he couldn't shake the guilt of leaving Yeosang behind. The dreams he had every night made sure that guilt was here to stay. When he saw his friends on TV, he knew he couldn't leave their fates to chance.
Yeosang never could have imagined that he'd end up in the position he was in now-- alone, in a strange world, with nobody coming to save him. He was sure his friends would have tried, had he not smashed their only way back to him. But he knew what he was signing up for when he destroyed the Cromer, right? ...right?
(AKA, a whumpy expansion of when Yeosang got stuck in World Z, everyone coming to his rescue, and the ensuing trauma & drama)

In the far future, humans have all gained psychic abilities in order to deal with the threat of brain eaters. Yunho is a psychokinetic who lives in relative peace in the Wilder Lands with his clan, away from the city-states humans have erected in an effort to protect themselves against the brain eaters. But civil war looms between two city-state factions, and his clan will be dragged into it one way or another. They say the enemy of my enemy is my friend, but he can't bring himself to trust his new 'allies'. He's also haunted by the fact that he's been having odd dreams about one of these so-called 'allies.'
