Summary
The North is crumbling, and Hyunjin Hwang, the young and battle-hardened king, should carry the weight of the dying kingdom on his shoulders.
Years of war with the aggressive Western Union have left his people exhausted, The East has closed its borders, refusing to trade with a kingdom they saw as cursed, and whispers of an ancient evil threaten to consume everything.
And now The North’s survival hinges on an alliance with the prosperous, sun-drenched South. Yet, it’s not that simple.

Summary
Everyday life at SKZOO LAB is simple: Hwang Hyunjin brings the drama, Kim Seungmin brings the data, and the entire marketing team runs a betting pool on when they’ll finally kiss, because everyone knows they’re in love. Everyone except Hyunjin and Seungmin, of course. For them, the story of daily battles over fonts, stolen coffee and glances held a second too long is purely professional.
Forced to collaborate on the Christmas event, their “professional disagreements”, however, reach new heights of pettiness. Now, the office betting pool is thriving, the emails are lethally polite, and Hyunjin is definitely not falling for the guy in the puppy costume.
(Spoiler: he already kind of has.)
(Spoiler2: it’s Seungmin.)

Summary
One sees fragments of the future — a dropped ice cream, a heartbreak, a kiss that never comes. The other carries the weight of expectation like a second skin. Between them: unsent letters, silent sacrifices, and a love that lives in the space between what was and what might have been.
Or: the story about two boys who promise ‘forever’ at six and spend twenty years learning what that word really means.

Summary
“You know,” Hyunjin says, softer now, “you don’t have to be this way all the time. It’s okay if your sky changes. It’s okay if it storms.”
Seungmin exhales — long, slow — like a man releasing pressure he didn’t know he was holding.
“And what if I don’t know how?” he asks. A question spoken into the quiet, fragile as a cloud before rain.
Hyunjin smiles. Small. Tender. Yet somehow still a little smug — as if he’s known this moment was coming all along.
“Then I’ll bring the storm.”
Kim Seungmin, who perfected the art of emotional neutrality to a fault, finds himself in a fake relationship with the Nation’s Sweetheart and Emotional Storm incarnate Hwang Hyunjin, just because Twitter told so.
But maybe, this time, netizens are onto something.

Summary
And the building — ancient, watchful, still listening — cradles them all.
It adjusts to their hearts the way it always has: rooms stretching to fit new laughter, doors refusing to close when arguments linger too long, windows blooming flowers that shouldn’t exist in this season but do, anyway, because someone needed them to.
Magic here is never loud. It lives in the almosts, the maybes, the way a glance can shift a room. It lives in the tea someone brews for a friend before they ask. In the umbrella left by a door without a note. In the way the stairs always creak a little louder when someone’s about to cry — as if warning the apartment to be gentle.
In a magical building full of curses, witches, and wi-fi charms gone wrong, love still manages to be the weirdest magic of all.

Summary
Seungmin had never looked for intimacy. All his life, he thought of it as a foreign language he might never learn; it was always something abstract, something meant for other people. A beautiful thing, sure, but distant, like a painting behind glass.
But now the glass is shattered.
Now Hyunjin kisses him like it’s easy, like it’s natural, like Seungmin’s mouth is a place he’s allowed to be. He touches him like he’s memorizing him, like he’s trying to press the shape of Seungmin’s body into his palms so he won’t forget. And every kiss, every brush of fingers, every murmured “You okay?” in the dark feels like it means something.
So Seungmin tells himself: don’t let it matter.
In a world where human touch can hurt — literally — Seungmin has learned to live without it. Yet, Hyunjin happens.

Summary
Jeongin hates February.
More than the weather, he hates himself. He hates the knot of emotions that coils tighter and tighter in his chest with every passing moment. Guilt, anger, exhaustion — they swirl together until he can no longer tell them apart. It’s been a year, but the weight hasn’t lifted. If anything, it feels heavier, dragging him down with every breath he takes.
“Will be there in 15!!”
The message arrived seven minutes ago, and each passing second tightens the knot of irritation in his chest. He could leave now. There is still time to escape. Yet, something roots him to the spot. Perhaps it’s the unspoken promise he’d made to Sungji’s mother — a promise he’s already spent almost a month regretting. Perhaps it’s the irrational need to see the person he thinks he hates so deeply.
The person he’s never met but who has, unknowingly, taken something irreplaceable from him.

Summary
Hwang Hyunjin never thought he’d sign up to date an alien — especially when his dating history with humans is far from being… perfect. (Actually, he signed up for the social study without knowing about the whole “dating” part, but anyway.)
He’s paired with Kim Seungmin, an alien scientist, highly logical and emotionless by nature, who treats romance like a series of experiments. Holding hands? Check. Awkward cuddles? Check. A first kiss analysed down to heart rates and body heat increase? Oh, definitely. But what begins as a clinical experiment slowly evolves into something neither of them anticipated: real feelings.
Cue awkward kisses, misunderstandings, and a whole lot of ‘what the?..’ moments.

Summary
In a world, where magic exists, but is hidden from ordinary humans, Kim Seungmin considers himself to be one of these unlucky individuals, who’s forced to navigate their way between these two opposite poles. Despite working with magic on a daily basis, Seungmin doesn’t understand it on a personal level: he views it as something chaotic, untrustworthy, and dangerous.
And, maybe, rightfully so: after what seems to be just another mundane work task, he ends up being… magically bonded with Hwang Hyunjin.
Hyunjin is the opposite of Seungmin — he’s free-spirited, creative, and a bit of a dreamer. He’s a talented sorcerer, but his lack of discipline and chaotic nature often lead to magical mishaps.
Now, Seungmin is stuck with Hyunjin, who represents everything he dislikes — mess, chaos, and unpredictability.

Summary
Hyunjin Hwang is a universe-famous singer and performer, a charismatic and idealistic artist who seems to have never had to worry about survival beyond his fame. His concerts are broadcasted across countless worlds, he is loved by billions. Sometimes it can be a little too much, all this attention. And maybe he wouldn’t have it any other way.
But after what’s supposed to be an ordinary respite on an abandoned space station, far from the attentive eyes of his fans, paparazzi and general public, he finds himself caught in the eye of a storm, forced to hide from the deadliest force in the universe, bounty hunters and space pirates.
Maybe, he’s got it good, because he’s got a company — Seungmin, who seems to be a hardened, cynical and morally ambiguous outlaw. Their personalities collide, two completely different people caught up in a conspiracy far larger than themselves. But they’re going to figure it all out. Aren’t they? -

Summary
Every soul has to go somewhere — either Heaven or Hell — based on how it has lived through its earthly life.
Hyunjin, unfortunately, dies, but his name is not on the list — that means he can neither go to Heaven nor to Hell, because they don’t know how his deeds were weighed on the scales of Good and Evil. And now he has to prove that he’s worthy of Heaven. What possibly can he do? Well, there’s this boy, Kim Seungmin, who needs help with his love life.
Hyunjin, as he finds out, is an expert in all things love.
