Summary
Every seafarer knows that mermaids are a commodity in black markets. Their flesh holds power beyond what humans can comprehend. If consumed, a mermaid will give its attributes to whoever has eaten them. Their tears are said to heal and eating enough blood and meat is said to grant immortality, but Hongjoong wouldn’t know about that. He’s far more interested in consuming the tongue and language center of the brain so as to communicate with the beasts at the bottom of the sea.
With the power of mermaid speech, Hongjoong plans to leech their secrets from them to better fish them up. But it’s only a great sense of unease Hongjoong gains when he catches a mermaid with stars in his eyes and discovers the creatures are far more human than what he has been told.
In which Seonghwa is an otherworldly beauty from the depths and Hongjoong cannot fathom how easy it is to love him.

Summary
When the crew of The Horizon raids a slaver ship, they find a single boy still alive--mute, blood-soaked, and clinging to a stolen dagger like it's the only thing tethering him to life.
He doesn't speak. He doesn't fight. He doesn't trust.
But still, they take him in.
Seonghwa doesn't expect kindness. Doesn't believe in freedom. But as the days pass and the crew of The Horizon show him care, laughter, and protection, the ghost of the boy he used to be begins to stir. With a past full of horrors and a name he won't speak aloud, Seonghwa slowly begins to understand:
This ship is not a cage.
And these people might be something like a home.A story of trauma, healing, found family, and the kind of love that lasts as long as it needs to.
THIS STORY IS ON AN INDEFINITE HIATUS

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.
