    Summary

    Seonghwa always knew that his life was going to be hard. It was as plain for him to see as his own hands in front of him, but he wanted to try to live his life looking towards the sun.
    His uncle made that hard. Whenever the stress of life became too much for him, his uncle would berate Seonghwa over it, blaming it on his father for bringing his mother into their lives, on him being too much like his mother. It always came back to his mother.
    Because Seonghwa’s mother was a harpy.
    When he was 12, his uncle had a debt to a pirate captain from a job that went very poorly because of him.
    And Seonghwa was how he settled that debt. Seonghwa, to spare his uncle.
    _____
    Seonghwa is half harpy in a world that sees nonhuman beings as other and unnatural, trapped in a life of piracy and kept against his will on board a scourge crew. But when the crew of the Horizon comes along and gives him a chance at a different life, he must find a way to settle into a life leagues apart from the one he's always known, try to fit himself into the tightly-knit fabric of the crew, while hiding the truth of himself. Can he while still finally allowing himself to be seen?

    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

    Seonghwa tried to remember everyone who came into his bakery.

    Hongjoong always enters in the same manner each time: he sprints up to the door, catches his breath, enters with a smile and a wave, and promptly steals Seonghwa’s heart.

    He just wants a chocolate croissant.

    Summary

    Seongjoong Arranged Marriage AU.

    When his mate of almost ten years divorces him due to his infertility, Park Seonghwa finds himself back at his family home in utter disgrace. To prevent his family from being bankrupted by returning his dowry, Seonghwa must at all costs find a new match.
    But he is no longer considered young and the years of abuse at his mate's hands have worn away at his charm and beauty that was once the talk of the city.

    A match seems impossible.

    Enter Kim Hongjoong, a newly aristocratic alpha with many sordid rumours surrounding the origin of his wealth. Some call him a conman turned businessman, others give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that he inherited his fortune from a distant relative. He is willing to pay a hefty sum for Seonghwa's dowry, however, and Seonghwa has no choice but to accept.

    Will the Kim pack be even worse than what Seonghwa suffered before, or does he dare to hope that he will finally find a home?

    Summary

    Park Seonghwa is a paramedic in the less privileged part of the city. He takes his job very seriously, and he spends most of his time alone. When an ambulance call leads him to a wounded gang leader, he treats the man with kindness and gentle hands despite his reputation. Against his better judgment, he finds himself continually entangled with the gang, and its leader most of all.

    Park Seonghwa has always lived by the book. It’s the only way to stay alive.

    Kim Hongjoong is the leader of the most notorious gang in the area. He shares his true name with no one, and he never allows others to touch him unless he intends to kill them anyway. The inner circle of his gang is the only exception. But when a certain paramedic takes care of him, Hongjoong chooses to break all of his own rules just to know him.

    Kim Hongjoong has always been ruthless. It’s the only way to stay alive.
