Summary
When Seonghwa’s tour boat capsizes, sending all of its occupants into the churning waves, he and seven others manage to make it to a small island on the horizon, overgrown with vegetation and clearly bearing no other signs of human life. With high tensions, they are forced to work together to survive, and he easily gets along with all but one of his fellow castaways.
Hongjoong is closed off and hot-headed, and eventually Seonghwa gives up on the possibility of civility between the two of them. Still, as the nights come and go and time seems to stretch into one continual loop, he realizes there is more to Hongjoong than he’d initially thought.
The island becomes their new normal, and Seonghwa becomes so accustomed to life there that he can hardly remember what it was like before the world had forgotten about them. Never did they anticipate a rescue, nor the world’s obsession with the eight boys who came back from the dead.

Summary
The roads were empty, so Hongjoong decided to ride on them instead of on the footpath since there were no cars.
His boss had kept him in to work late that night, but he didn't mind if it meant that he got more money for working later than usual.
Up ahead, Hongjoong noticed a car with the headlights on, parked near the curb. He's seen that car before... a few times now actually.
He let out a shocked scream when he was suddenly grabbed from off of his bike and it toppled over. He struggled against them as a blindfold was tied around his head.
"I don't want to hurt you, so please comply or I will."
———
Hongjoong wanted to get away—get away from his lazy-ass roommate, his annoying co-workers, and find a new job, rent a new place on his own; sadly, he wouldn't be able to afford everything if he were to live on his own, so he's stuck in this generic story that he calls his life, which didn't seem like it would get any more interesting.
But one late evening changes everything.
He never thought he would end up being kidnapped, but sometimes the strangest and most unexpected things can happen to someone...

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?

Summary
"Hi," he announced, voice lilting and melodious, "I'm Choi San."
Wooyoung didn't know what to say, so he just opted to shake the boy's hand a little hesitantly, "Can I help you?" Wooyoung questioned, looking at this...Choi San, perplexed as he slid into the empty seat opposite him, comfortable like they'd known each other for years.
"Well...no, but I thought you looked lonely, so I came to ask if you wanted some company."
Huh.
Strange.
Or, the one in which Wooyoung is a secret agent for the government and San is the naive college boy who knows too much about pain.

Summary
Seonghwa thought that Hongjoong hated him. And well, he might as well hate him back. Except, he didn't hate Hongjoong. He could never hate Hongjoong. And maybe, just maybe, Hongjoong didn't hate him either.
