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.

Summary
Captain Kim Hongjoong had spent his childhood in the abusive grasp of his tyrant father, until he planned his own escape and pulled together a mismatched crew with a bond thicker than blood. When he brings a prisoner on board, the last thing he expects is for the newcomer to infiltrate that bond, and he watches as the control begins to slip through his fingers.
Kim Hongjoong knows how it feels to hate, and he uses it to avoid feeling anything else.
Park Seonghwa hadn’t been in control of his own life in a long time, so when he is taken prisoner by a new crew of pirates, he is resigned to the cruelty of their captain. Hatred is comfortable, and two can play at that game. However, the rest of the crew is kinder to him, and he feels his walls begin to lower despite the mounting tensions between himself and the captain.
Park Seonghwa knows how it feels to love, and he never wants to feel that weak again.

Summary
Pirates spend their lives hunting down treasure, but the most valuable treasure of all isn’t gold or jewels - it’s mermaid scales. After the majority of Captain Kim Hongjoong’s crew is decimated by disease, he has no choice but to turn to the hunting of mermaids to keep himself and his remaining men afloat. When a new pirate joins them, however, he struggles to maintain his control over his crew, his ship, and his emotions.
It’s only a matter of time until Hongjoong’s notorious reputation falls apart, but little does he know that darker plans are at play beneath the surface.
Mermaids can walk on land if they choose, but doing so is practically unheard of due to the risks. Seonghwa is the only living mermaid of his kind left, and after a life of hiding from ruthless hunters, he hatches a plan for revenge. He poses as a pirate and steps ashore for the first time in his life, all with the intent to destroy a certain captain, his crew, and his ship from the inside.
It’s only a matter of time until Seonghwa’s true identity is revealed, but he plans to destroy them all before it comes to that.

Summary
After years of being a committed third wheel, Seonghwa finally gives in to Wooyoung's nagging and joins Flirt, a popular dating app. But he is far too picky, and when the profile of an attractive man named Hongjoong appears, Wooyoung snatches the phone to swipe right on Seonghwa's behalf. They match instantly.
The only catch? Seonghwa never would have been interested in a man like Hongjoong. He's an unruly musician with tattoos and piercings, while Seonghwa is a homebody with pink hair and a pet bunny. They're complete opposites, at least on the surface.
But when Wooyoung forces Seonghwa to give Hongjoong a chance, he realizes what he would have been missing.
