Summary
“Is that him?”
“Yeah, Haneul’s setter. The Architect”“I heard he used to run plays with that other guy in High School. What did people call them again?”
“Matz. Or something like that.”
“Oh yeah, I heard they were insane together, shame they picked different schools.”
“Think he’s still that good without the other one?”
or
Park Seonghwa was never meant to play alone.
He and Hongjoong grew up on the same court, built the same rhythm, and became Matz long before either of them understood what it meant.
They were supposed to last.But college sent them in different directions, turning an old partnership into silence and rivalry.
Now Seonghwa is Haneul's captain, the country's top setter, and doing everything he can to not think about the boy who once matched his timing perfectly. That works until their teams meet again.
Because chemistry like theirs does not just disappear.
It returns sharper.
And sometimes a rivalry is just the middle of a story.Bookmarked by michi1209

Summary
The Orchid has a reputation for brutality, one that has been earned through each blood-infused bloom planted in the city streets. His true identity is unknown, but his penchant for violence is no secret. However, the man behind the name is a walking contradiction, gentle and dangerous and intoxicating all in the same breath.
Kim Hongjoong was never supposed to give into his desires. It’s a risk he can’t afford to take.
On a seemingly unrelated note, Park Seonghwa is a paramedic in the city who receives an ambulance call after a gunfight. Resigned to a solitary life after a difficult past, he has no desire to form connections with others, and his walls are impenetrable. He is not as innocent as he seems, however; flirting with danger comes naturally.
Park Seonghwa was never supposed to let himself care again. It’s a risk he can’t afford to take.
