Summary
Squirrel hybrid Kim Hongjoong knows what to expect from humans - exploitation, abuse, inhumanity. At the laboratory where he and other hybrids were unethically experimented on, violence and pain was the order of the day. He will never trust humans again, not even the kind workers at the shelter where he is taken after his rescue from the lab.
Then Hongjoong is adopted by a librarian called Park Seonghwa. Seonghwa is kind, gentle and seemingly perfect. He treats Hongjoong like he is precious, like he matters.
The temptation to trust Seonghwa is strong, but Hongjoong knows that his kind act is only skin deep. Sooner or later, Hongjoong will find a way to make him angry, to make him show his true colours.
If only Hongjoong can find the right boundary to push.Bookmarked by memorae

Summary
In a world where emotions don’t exist, Seonghwa thrives. He’s top of his class at Prestige Academy, destined to become great. When he’s one of the students taken by the Black Pirates, everything begins to unravel: his life, his beliefs, his own body, and the chip behind his ear that he thought was there to protect them.
He has a decision to make. Leave and return to his old life and forget about everything he heard, or stay with them, and decide whether there is any truth to what their leader, Kim Hongjoong, says.
Or, in a world that actively prohibits feelings, Hongjoong teaches Seonghwa what it means to feel everything.

Summary
“You’re not actually nervous, are you?” Hongjoong asks. “You’ve done makeup in worse conditions. Remember the car ride to Incheon? No staff, zero lighting, potholes every five seconds.”
“That was survival,” Seonghwa replies without looking away from the mirror. “This is presentation.”
Hongjoong raises a brow. “Presentation?”
Seonghwa dips a finger into a pot of shimmer and gently taps it to the corner of his eye. “You made something for me. I want to do it justice.”
Hongjoong’s offer to design something custom for Seonghwa slowly unravels the threads holding their friendship in place.

Summary
But Mingi is already scrolling, and he turns the screen around after a couple minutes.
“He sent this recently.”
It’s a selfie.
To be more precise, it’s a selfie of a man crouched in tall grass, grinning beside a large, spotted blur in motion. The guy’s face is partially obscured with sunglasses, hair swept back to expose his forehead. One arm is joyfully stuck out in a peace sign.
But Jinwoo isn’t paying attention to any of that, because beside the man was inexplicably, impossibly, yet unmistakably—
“…Is that a cheetah?” Jinwoo asks.
Song Mingi, culinary extraordinaire and Michelin-starred head chef of Tunnel, is (more than) happily married to Jeong Yunho, renowned nature and wildlife photographer. Has been for years, actually.
The only issue is: no one seems to realise that is the case.
