Summary
After winning a long and brutal battle that had haunted his family for generations, Prince Minho takes command of a fallen kingdom. His reward: a conquered realm, a crown washed clean of tyranny, and the most coveted omega in all the land.
As two kingdoms unite, Minho discovers that seizing a throne is simple—taming its prince, however, is something else entirely.- Language:

Summary
Two years ago, Jisung confessed his love before Minho left for university.
Minho had said I love you too, and Jisung thought that was their new beginning.Now that they share an apartment, a kitchen, a bed on most nights, Jisung wonders why his boyfriend still hasn’t kissed him. Why he pulls away everytime he reaches for him.
Meanwhile, Minho lies awake at night pining hopelessly for someone he believes he can't have—even as that someone sneaks into his bed and laces their fingers together.
Two idiots in love. One confession. Zero clarification.

Summary
“Can you tell me — how it started?”
Minho hummed. “Well,” he said, “we met in a bar.”
Basic field operative training covers hiding, deflection, and lying, in that specific order. It doesn’t exactly cover how to lie to pretty men in bars who send you expensive drinks.

Summary
Minho was silent for a few beats. Over the radio, a man was crooning about his lost love.
“You don’t want more out of a marriage?”
It was Jisung’s turn to laugh. “What more is there to ask for?”
“Attraction,” Minho’s voice sounded odd, almost reluctant. “Intimacy. You really find him…satisfactory?”
What did Minho know about him, or love, for that matter, anyway? And what right did he have to ask if Seungmin was satisfactory? It wouldn’t be his marriage. It was already hardly his family.
God damn Minho, Jisung thought, for being so cagey. Mysterious.
Unfortunately, if there was one thing he couldn’t resist, it was a mystery.

Summary
When Prince Jisung throws his old self into the river that runs past the palace, he flees to a faraway island to breathe for the first time since his life became something of a burden.
There, the days taste like salt, the nights hum with water, and he meets a handsome stranger with too-careful eyes, happy enough to show him what freedom truly looks like.

Summary
“Can I get a name?” Minho asks, because curiosity is an itch he can’t stop scratching. He needs something to do. A distraction, maybe.
“A name?” The man laughs, glances to the door, “There ain’t nobody else here.”
“So?” Minho raises his brow, “I don’t serve strangers, cowboy.”
“Not a cowboy,” He corrects almost immediately- something which confuses Minho further. He carries himself like one. Has the stance of one. If he ain’t one, then-
“Even worse.” Minho tries to keep his schooled expression, “I don’t serve strangers who play dress-up.”
Or;
A stranger dressed in cattlemen’s clothes comes to town. Minho wants.

Summary
And then comes Jisung.
The final moment, tonight's centerpiece. A calculated reveal.
His first public appearance after presenting, the second son beta no one paid attention to, now revealed to be a diamond in the rough.
Minho doesn't think when he offers Jisung his leather-gloved hand. And Jisung takes it without hesitation, the touch light, for balance and form, but Minho feels the warmth as if it were skin on skin, searing through the leather like flame.
The noise surrounding them rises as soon as Jisung appears, all attention focusing on him.
He's luminous.
Or: Jisung is a late-presenting omega born into a rich family. Minho is the bodyguard assigned to protect him.- Language:

Summary
“I heard he costs a hundred thousand won.”
“I heard two hundred.”
Jisung winces, but thankfully someone else speaks up before he has to. “You guys are disgusting, and have never been anywhere near Lee Minho’s hole,” says Hyunjin.
“Maybe not, but word on the street is we can afford to.” Jongsu smirks. “I heard he’ll even let you knot, if you pay enough.”Or: Despite his talent, Jisung is lonely and unpopular among the alpha trainees at JYP. Then he hears a rumor about the star of the omega class that changes everything.

Summary
When Minho finishes up cooking, he kisses Jisung as he hands him his bowl. When Jisung leaves to go to the studio, he kisses Minho goodbye.
It becomes just another part of their routine. Kisses good morning, goodnight, hello, goodbye, or just because. Nothing ever more than a short, sweet peck, never anywhere aside from in their own apartment. It becomes as easy as breathing, to kiss Minho and be kissed by him, like they’ve been doing it this whole time. Jisung can’t remember why they hadn’t been doing it the whole time.
They still don’t talk about it.
They’re still not together.

Summary
La Scala. One of the most infamous, beautiful venues in Europe. Erected in the 18th century, the theatre is a notorious nucleus of the arts – ballet, classical music, opera. A mecca of creativity and romanticism.
“The season opening gala is on December 7th in Milan,” the Dean says. "That’s not much time to prepare, but I have the utmost faith that the two of you can manage to pull something together by then. Juilliard will sponsor your travel. All of the information you need is in the packet.”
Quietness garlands the room in glittering anticipation; Minho’s mind struggles to encompass all that he’s being told. An invitation to perform at an international event draped in as much glory as this is beyond what his brain can comprehend.
“I’m in if you are.” The voice is novel to his ear – impossibly warm, low. Baked honey spilling past peony-pink lips that are rouge with anxious abuse. Jisung’s timbre drapes Minho in gauzy gumption. He meets the younger’s guarded gaze head-on.
Who is he to say no?
𝄞༺ ₊˚⊹˚₊ ༻𝄢
Minho is chosen for a prestigious, career-changing opportunity. Unfortunately, he's paired with the most insufferable piano prodigy Juilliard has to offer.

Summary
Life is hell, and then you die.
Minho's story is already written, his life spent longing for his fated mate and then death with a sword in his hand. He expects nothing else. This life's journey is nothing but a series of hits to his soul. It doesn't matter that he is the strongest or the fastest. He can only fight and run for so long.
But what if his story was rewritten? What if bottomless brown eyes and the kindest smile he’s ever seen, took the map of his life and redrew the lines? How would his story end? Where would the map lead? To happiness… love? Home?
And if that home was threatened… he would burn the world to save it.
*****
He doesn’t think whatever he and Jisung has counts as love. He’s never experienced it, but something about the word tells him love is supposed to be equal, balanced, and tender. Instead, he has a power struggle where he’s been asked to give everything he has...
________With silent tears Jisung rests against the oak door and prays. Dear Gods, may I take all of his pain and return it in love...
(Badass War General omega Lee Know is in an arranged marriage to sweet and kind alpha Han Jisung... he is not happy about it)

Summary
Half an hour in, Jisung’s nose picks up the aromas lingering around the room again. Minho's scent envelops all of his senses, eases the pain in his lower back and the headache pounding at the front of his brain. When he looks at Minho again, the patches on his neck are still plastered over his skin, but he’s missing the one on his right wrist.
Comfort wraps around him and settles in the lining of his muscles, the tissue of his bones. He’s so drowsy, Jisung feels like drifting off and curling around himself to hopefully catch up on his missing hours of sleep, but he has to work, he has to talk with Minho and–
“Sleep, Jisungie. I’ll work on this, okay? It’s my field. You rest for a bit.”
or; Jisung can't sleep. But then he pairs up with Minho for a school project, and his whole world shifts around him.

“Let’s write to each other,” Jisung tells him, his face going funny from the way he's lying. Minho looks up and finds Jisung's hair tickling his forehead.
He blows air out of his nose and it lifts Jisung's fringe. “Like letters?”
“Yeah. Like in the movies.”
Or: Jisung goes away for the summer. He doesn't want Minho to forget him.

Summary
Jisung watched in a daze as one of the men ran past him into his house, searching for the emergency. Then, the one he was watching came up to the steps and started asking him questions. He was so overwhelmed he couldn’t really make out what the man was saying, he just wanted to make out with his lips. If the situation wasn’t hot before, it certainly was now.
Blah, blah, blah, where’s the fire this, do you need medical attention that.
This guy was so hot, he was more of a hazard than any fire Jisung could imagine.
Or: Jisung’s house keeps setting on fire, which would normally be a bad thing, but not when the world’s hottest firefighter keeps showing up to deal with it– pun intended.

Summary
“Don’t tell Chan hyung I said this,” Jisung starts, his voice a murmur, a secret between the two of them. “But I hate the new dorms.”
Minho doesn’t tell him about the dreams he has. There are things they share with each other, and things they don’t. It’s a comfortable habit, a familiar truth. Minho thinks— he thinks if he tells Jisung he dreams of a future he spends with him, it would break the habit, and it would cost him the comfort of waking up from those dreams to find Jisung wrapped in his arms.
“Yeah,” he says, because he may not share everything with Jisung, but he is not a liar, he cannot deny that he too hates them. But he can’t let them soak in the truth for too long a time either. He follows it in the same breath with, “We should get up.”

or: Jisung keeps sleeping in Minho's bed. Minho keeps dreaming of him.
