    Summary

    The boy on the banner looked down at him with eyes full of hatred and a golden laurel wreath on his head that had been gained with more blood than any other.

    Whenever Seonghwa saw the image of the victor, there was nothing but the memory of that cruel smile as he had slit yet another child's throat. Deeply etched into Seonghwa's memory to forever haunt him.

    And the knowledge that he could never bring himself to do what Kim Hongjoong had done.

     

    Or: When Seonghwa gets reaped to compete in the Hunger Games, he is not only sent to an almost promised grave - he is also assigned to be mentored by the infamous Kim Hongjoong. The victor with the highest kill count in the history of the Hunger Games.

    Summary

    “I thought I’d lose you tonight,” Seonghwa breathed against his lips.
    Hongjoong opened his eyes, just barely, to find Seonghwa’s lashes damp, his mouth parted, vulnerable and wanting. His thumb traced beneath his eye, slow and tender, “You’ll never lose me,” he said and took Seonghwa's hand in both of his. He pressed a kiss to his knuckles—soft, slow and lingering. Like a vow sealed in skin. Then another to the center of his palm, warm and breathless, as if trying to soothe the ache Seonghwa wouldn’t name.“Not as long as I can fight for you,”

    or;
    A pirate captain walks into a coastal tavern. A barkeep looks up and something ancient stirs. Across storms, scars, and strange familiarity, their bond forms fast. But the sea has always taken what they love too deeply. Love isn’t always enough to outrun fate.Or...is it?

    Summary

    "You are Park Seonghwa," he tells his reflection frantically. "You are Park Seonghwa, twenty-one years old, singer of ATEEZ. You like soft things and potato chips. Once, you gaslighted Kim Hongjoong into cleaning the entire dorm by himself."

    The post-adrenaline drop after a stage is bad for everyone but it's Seonghwa who suffers the most: he sees the things that could've been.

    Summary

    Hongjoong had a plan.

    1) Get into a good university.
    2) Survive.
    3) Graduate and get a good job.
    4) Pay back his mom for everything she did for him.

    Nowhere on that list did he account for friends.
    Nor did he account for a blindingly kind and gentle popular boy on campus looking at Hongjoong with eyes that were much too warm and genuine, and a personality that seemed too good to be true.

    All he knew was that he would not be some rich kid’s plaything.
    No matter how warm his smile was.
