    Summary

    Sion wants to be holy. He wakes before dawn. He kneels in the chapel until his knees bruise purple against the stone. Riku flicks cigarette ash onto the Virgin Mary's robe and sleeps through morning mass with a cross around his neck like something cheap and half-forgotten.

    God watches over them both, but the body always betrays.

    Summary

    Sion has always been little more than a pawn in his parents' sprawling empire, a disappointment in their quest for the perfect heir. Desperate to mold him into their vision of success, they send him to Seishin, an elite boarding school nestled in the mountains of Nagano, known for shaping the next generation of world leaders.

    To Sion, however, Seishin represents everything he despises—unearned privilege, hollow traditions, and the suffocating weight of expectations.

    Then he meets Maeda Riku, the charismatic son of Japan's most powerful right-wing politicians and the school's untouchable golden boy. At Seishin, his life is turned upside down—but not by the institution. It's Riku who changes everything.

    Summary

    Kim Daeyoung desperately needs a job. For some reason, he thinks it's a good idea to apply for a job in a field where he has zero experience: a manager in the idol industry. Now, not only does he have to deal with SM Entertainment and the uniqueness of the ONLYOU members, a rising boygroup; he also has to deal with Tokuno Yushi, their maknae, and the trials and tribulations that come with navigating love in the idol industry.

    He's in for a ride that involves misunderstandings, an absurd amount of schedules, scandals, nosey fans, and just being in the public eye.

    Summary

    Sion embarks on a journey when he moves to Fukui for a year-long study abroad program. The moment he steps into his host family's sprawling, ancient home, he is struck by an unsettling atmosphere. The house, with its creaking floorboards and whispering walls, seems alive—breathing in sync with the secrets it harbors.

    Equally captivating is the family's son, Riku, whose ethereal beauty is as haunting as it is captivating.

    Summary

    According to Cosette, the café is only a few blocks away from his internship at the embassy. According to Cosette, the coffee is all fair trade, and the to-go cups are recycled, and her boss is really nice. According to Cosette all of the business protocols and hiring practices are entirely nondiscriminatory...

    Apparently, nondiscriminatory hiring practices mean that they only hire ruggedly beautiful men with messes of black hair and the biggest blue eyes that Enjolras has ever seen.

    *

    Or Enjolras goes to a cafe to support Cosette and her new job, and inadvertently falls for a barista named R.

    Summary

    Renjun closed his eyes, inhaling deeply before saying, “Do you want to date?”
    Mark’s eyes widened. “What?”
    “I mean, fake date.” Renjun clarified.
    Mark’s face only twisted more in confusion. “You want to fake date?”
    Renjun nodded.
    “Why?”
    Renjun exhaled. “It’s a long story.”

    Summary

    Renjun was ten when he entered his first flute competition. He was eleven when he saw Mark Lee for the first time at a woodwind competition. And he was twelve when he dubbed the other boy his biggest rival.

    Mark was everything he wasn’t. Mark never struggled with musicality and never worried about being perfect and always seemed to wear his heart on his sleeve.

    He'd nearly forgotten about Mark Lee amidst the college applications and auditions.

    The last thing he was expecting was for Mark Lee to come out of his flute professor's room, laughing while holding his flute case to his chest and carrying a bag full of flute books.

    Summary

    renjun’s gotten really good at this since the day he woke up and realized that while donghyuck was in love with mark, renjun himself was hopelessly in love with donghyuck. sometimes, when he doesn’t have to see donghyuck, he can pretend that he isn’t in love with him or that he loves him in the same way that he loves jaemin, or jeno, or shotaro. most times, though, his heart aches every time donghyuck’s nose scrunches when he laughs or he sits and bobs his head absently along with one of shotaro’s vintage prince vinyls spinning on a record player.

    Summary

    The Huang family has hatred engraved in their veins, a hatred that has lasted for centuries, a hatred as immense as the love for their own kind.

    That’s how Renjun learns to love: from hatred. His mom’s tender hands tucking his hair behind his ears at night, before going to sleep, and whispering venom about the Lees, warning him about their youngest son and about all the times Renjun will encounter him when he’s older.

    Summary

    Vernon is a half-demon, and a lifetime of prejudice and watching people avoid him for his frightening appearance has made him alone and friendless for most of his life. Seungkwan is a breath of fresh air, willing to approach him when no one else will—maybe because he's just that nice of a person, probably because he is completely, totally blind.
