Summary
Ever since she was a little girl, Seonghwa has tried her best not to be selfish. She’s always tried to be the bigger person: the person who picks whatever is left after everyone else has made their choice, the person who makes sure that other people are happy first. It’s the people-pleaser in you, unnie, Wooyoung once told her over a bottle of soju.
Whatever it is, Seonghwa has always made the effort. Be hungry, she used to tell herself before it became second nature, but don’t be greedy.
It’s not that easy with Hongjoong.
Seonghwa, Hongjoong, and the art of looking.

Summary
“Let’s bring the meeting to order,” Wooyoung declared, banging a toy wooden gavel against the massive pine conference table. “Please state your name and title.”
Yeosang and Mingi sat on opposite sides, both staring at him with resignation.
“What?” Wooyoung asked from the head of the table, blinking innocently.
“Can you not?” Yeosang said flatly.
“It’s literally just the three of us,” Mingi grumbled. “Did you really need to book the biggest conference room in the library for this?”
“This is a serious business and we need to treat it like one,” Wooyoung said. “I’ll go first. Jung Wooyoung, President.” He glared at Yeosang, motioning for him to follow.
Yeosang sighed. “Kang Yeosang, Treasurer.”
“Song Mingi, Secretary.”

“I said I wanted to meet in person because I knew you’d hang up on me if we talked over the phone. You’re very predictable, you know that?”
“You have one minute,” Hongjoong said, jaws clenching.
Wooyoung paused and brought his hands to his lips. “I thought about what you said that night. About breaking up San and Seonghwa.”
Hongjoong snorted. “Yeah, that was a joke.”

Soccer is all Kim Hongjoong knows. In a high-stakes season, Hongjoong teams up with rival captain Jung Wooyoung to break up their newly dating teammates. Hongjoong learns there’s far more to Wooyoung than the arrogant midfielder he appears to be on the pitch.

Summary
The truth is, it’s been a little difficult to be around Hongjoong these past few months. In a way, it’s Seonghwa’s own fault, for wanting things he can’t have and getting his hopes up over and over again, just to have them crushed like a dry, brittle leaf in the palm of his hand, looking as the dust flies away with the wind. He should’ve known, watching the play of light on the waters of Lake Como, that some things weren’t meant to be.
Before the last concert of their North American tour, Seonghwa and Hongjoong spend five days at an upscale villa in Los Angeles. Those five days change everything. It's been a long time coming.

Summary
It was a beautiful day. Not a cloud in sight and the temperature warm enough for short sleeves, a gentle breeze cooling the skin before the heat had a chance to become too oppressive… yeah, a perfect day. And perhaps that should have been a good thing—for Jung Wooyoung it almost certainly was—but for Kim Hongjoong it felt like a cruelty, as though today wasn’t already painful enough without the weather laughing in his face too. Because this was one of his top five worst days…
~~~
And so begins the story of one Kim Hongjoong, a man so completely sold on his own warped belief of his own unlovability that he’s successfully pushed the only man who’s ever truly loved him into the arms of someone else.The only way from here is up. Right?

Summary
Hongjoong studiously avoids looking at Yunho, because looking at Yunho usually results in agreeing with Yunho, and then they end up groaning in a waiting room together getting checked for concussions for reasons not unrelated to their burgeoning careers in freestyle urban parkour.

Summary
Hongjoong, a former outlaw and Alpha, is being pressured by the railroad to sell his property, which features an old mine he's convinced still has gold inside. To make it harder to be uprooted from his home, he sends for a mail order mate through an ad in the newspaper. An Omega from a coastal city answers: Song Mingi, who gives up all he knows for a new life with an Alpha he's never met before.
Hongjoong is determined to keep it strictly business, as he's not used to having someone so close at all times. Hell, he'll be happy if the man doesn't hate him on sight. But well laid plans tend to go awry, and Mingi is so very easy to love. Will Hongjoong allow himself to open up in such a way, or will they crash and burn?

"I don't want to keep you here, but tell San he's gotta bring you around more."
Wooyoung smiled, closed lipped and tight, not having the heart to tell him he hadn't spoken to San in a decade at least.
"Yes, sir."
OR

Summary
“Noooo!” Hongjoong yells in despair at no one in particular as he clutches the cat keychain in his hands.
“What’s he realizing now?” Mingi asks and he’s met with Yeosang’s response of, “probably the cat cafe first date.”
“I’m allergic! That’s not romantic! I was sneezing the whole time!” Hongjoong cries. “I offered to fight a fucking dandelion!”
--
Or, unbeknownst to Hongjoong, he and Seonghwa have been dating for the past month.

Summary
Kim Hongjoong is a CEO. A rich and overworked man who ends up in a seaside town after working himself into a hospital bed. What he doesn't expect is his quiet, beautiful neighbor with soft cardigans, a calico cat and a tendency to hand him tea without him asking.
Seonghwa has always been alone but not lonely. At least, not until Hongjoong shows him what company feels like.
A story of tea kettles, slow mornings, yarn and learning that maybe, just maybe, you don't have to choose between loving someone and loving your job.

Summary
Hongjoong hates how he’s only able to focus on one thing.
Seonghwa loves someone.
Seonghwa loves someone, and it is slowly killing him from the inside.
Seonghwa loves someone, and he was willing to give up everything and more for them.
Seonghwa loves someone, and that someone isn’t Kim Hongjoong.
Hongjoong's always been good at coping with whatever challenge life decides to throw at him—he has to be, as the captain of this metaphorical ship his family is on.
He just doesn't know how he's supposed to cope when Seonghwa is gone.

Summary
They’re still beautiful, Seonghwa can’t help but think, a detached sense of morbid fascination washing over him, as his fingertips gently trace the blood-stained edges marring soft, white petals.
Chrysanthemums.
A wry smile twists his lips, bloodless and pale sans the specks of crimson dotting the corners of his mouth.
How fitting.
The flowers for mourning.
The flowers for a man born in November.
Seonghwa has always known that he was born with too much love to give—and he loves to give, even if he does not receive the same in return.
He just didn’t know that loving could hurt him this much.

Summary
“So, what do you think?” He asks.
The words spoken gently against the sensitive skin make Hongjoong shudder, his heart doing a little somersault in his chest. Seonghwa knows damn well what Hongjoong thinks—he just wants to hear him say it. Wants Hongjoong to speak his confidence aloud.
“I think…that you should stop that.” Hongjoong huffs when Seonghwa kisses his foot again, this time at the very top of the bridge.
Seonghwa hums, paying no mind to his boyfriend’s brattiness. “Well, I think you’re beautiful.”
Or; Hongjoong didn't think he wanted to be beautiful until he met someone like him who was.
