    Summary

    “What do you think, sweetheart?”

    Hao shivers at the hands patting his shoulder, heat rushing to his cheeks. The gesture is so warm and natural that he almost forgets it’s an act.

    “Hanbin, don't,” Hao whispers. “Don’t bother pretending you care when there’s no cameras around. Just stop.”

    Hanbin’s hands retreat immediately. “Okay,” he responds. The teasing tone has disappeared, and the cold and distant delivery Hao has become used to returns.

    Hanbin, South Korea's beloved actor falls into a falsified dating scandal. He's forced into a fake relationship with Hao, fellow actor and his bitter ex of four years to cover it up.

    Summary

    The surface of Earth is uninhabitable, humanity has retreated to independent city-states in the sky, and poverty is rampant in the city-state of Hwaseong. But for a chance at a better life, 99 male contestants can compete in an annual game of survival. The nine winners will be granted a portion of the significant pool of prize money. The rest will perish within the brutal grounds of the arena, located amongst the ruins of Seoul.

    Sung Hanbin, a convicted criminal, sees the games as his chance to escape either execution or exile and protect his best friend, Seok Matthew, from a similar fate. However he soon collides with another contestant, Zhang Hao, and in even in the midst of hell feelings begin to bloom.

    (Because this is, after all, a love story.)

    Summary

    It was no secret that Osamu had more friends than Atsumu. It was natural, Osamu was nicer than his brother.

    Osamu was the calm, intelligent, pleasant twin. Atsumu was the arrogant, loud, and unbearable twin, easy like that.

    Atsumu was also the insecure twin, the one who overthought things, the one who listened to everything the others said and kept quiet about what he wanted to say. And, of course, Osamu was the clueless twin.

    Atsumu was drowning.

    Every day battling against his mother, his brother, the team and the school. He was neck-deep in water, and the smallest wave could end his attempts to stay afloat.

    Lucky for Atsumu, Kyoomi felt like a breath of fresh air.

    Summary

    For the most part, Yuuji’d been okay with all this. The condemned to die part of his life, at least. He’s always been better off living for someone else, whether for Gramps or his friends or the rest of humanity, so it makes sense that he’ll die for them all too. Sure, he’ll die young, and who knows what all he’ll miss, but that’s all the more reason to live with what he’s got.

    The parts he’s not okay with leave him scrubbing blood out from beneath his nails for days, broken and cracked from suddenly growing out too long and too dark in the times when his memory is nothing but a blank.

    After Shibuya, Yuuji has nightmares. Watching horror movies late into the night doesn't help with them, but it's better than the alternative.
