    Summary

    “Have you ever heard about the origami hearts tradition in the hospital?”

    Taking the heart, the child excitedly inspected it, nodding in glee. “Yes! My mama told me that when someone leaves the hospital to go to heaven, we all fold a paper heart for them! Like this, like this!”

    “That’s right,” chuckled Soobin. “But do you know how it started? It started here, in this room. From a boy who used to fold a paper heart every day for his lost love, hoping each one he makes will take him closer to the day those eyes would open again.”

    "Unfortunately for him, the day never came."

    In other words, a hopeless love story of two childhood best friends who didn't realise what it meant to have each other until it was too late; compiled of yearning, loss, forlorn hope, unrequited love, and every tragedy in between.

    Summary

    “I reckon ye only be mad at me,” he started, his eyes closing shut like he knew the prince would bring him no harm. “ ‘Cause ye 'ave no freedom in yer own life.”

    A simple sentence was all it was really, words compiled together to form a meaning. Sometimes such meanings were in fact meaningless, they held no truth and were only spoken for the sake of aggravation. Though in even rarer times, there was truth rooted in the very ground of the meaning and that was what caused the aggravation.

    But what would a pirate know?

     

    Or: Royal prince Seonghwa who is first in line for the throne, finally meets the recently captured and most feared pirate in all the Seven Seas who has been condemned to death. Every year on the feast on the Ceremony of the Golden Rose, the crown prince is to take a rose dipped in gold to present to one special prisoner as a gift of freedom and a new start at life. This year is like no other, besides the fact that the great pirate king who infuriates Seonghwa to no end might end up shedding a new kind of light on the young and very adventurous prince, changing his views altogether.

    Summary

    Commander Park Seonghwa is seen as professional and ruthless, one of the best strategists of the Korean Navy.

    There are very specific things he’s had to endure to become the person he is today. Things that have marked his journey as a man, as a sailor. He’s dealt with his father’s disappointment, he’s suffered hate and ridicule from his peers, he’s come face to face with the worst kinds of monsters humanity can offer, he's even looked Death directly in the eyes on several occasions.

    Yet, very few things have shaken him up the way Captain Kim Hongjoong has.

    Summary

    Pirates spend their lives hunting down treasure, but the most valuable treasure of all isn’t gold or jewels - it’s mermaid scales. After the majority of Captain Kim Hongjoong’s crew is decimated by disease, he has no choice but to turn to the hunting of mermaids to keep himself and his remaining men afloat. When a new pirate joins them, however, he struggles to maintain his control over his crew, his ship, and his emotions.

    It’s only a matter of time until Hongjoong’s notorious reputation falls apart, but little does he know that darker plans are at play beneath the surface.

    Mermaids can walk on land if they choose, but doing so is practically unheard of due to the risks. Seonghwa is the only living mermaid of his kind left, and after a life of hiding from ruthless hunters, he hatches a plan for revenge. He poses as a pirate and steps ashore for the first time in his life, all with the intent to destroy a certain captain, his crew, and his ship from the inside.

    It’s only a matter of time until Seonghwa’s true identity is revealed, but he plans to destroy them all before it comes to that.

    Summary

    Hongjoong whistled low. “A tall order, sire.” He cocked his head to the side with a snarky smile on his lips. “And it comes at a steep price.”

    Seonghwa’s father gripped the armrests of his throne. “Name it.”

    Hongjoong paused to rake his eyes over Seonghwa. “You will give me your son in marriage.”

    ...

    Pirate Captain Hongjoong is more powerful than the King. He knows it. The King knows it. Everyone knows it. So when the King begs him for an alliance, Hongjoong can name his price. No one expects him to demand the crown Prince’s hand in marriage, least of all Prince Seonghwa. But can Seonghwa survive on the savage seas? And will this loveless marriage harden his heart like the pirate he’s been tied to?
