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.

Summary
Hongjoong has lots of fantasies, all of which are highly specific, detailed, and impossible, because they involve one Park Seonghwa, who definitely doesn't return his interest.
And even if he does. He shouldn't. So they don't. That's how it works.

Summary
Hongjoong can’t say he’s entirely sure where the line between hatred and obsession blurs anymore. It used to be a clear-cut thing, so obvious that he didn't even have to think about it. He’s a pirate, Seonghwa a member of the royal navy. They’re natural enemies, bound to hate each other and chase each other until one of them eventually prevails and the other is killed.
But as time goes on, Hongjoong finds that inevitable ending slipping further and further out of his mind's eye. All the rage that has carried him through his past confrontations with Seonghwa, all the desire to see him suffer and bend and break for ever daring to cross paths with him has morphed into something almost unrecognisable to him.
It still feels like desire.
Desire for what, exactly… He just can’t be sure anymore.

Summary
PFC Kim Hongjoong, a M1 Abrams tank crewman for the United States Army, is fed up with life in the barracks. He's tired of shitty roommates, no privacy, and a plethora of other complaints that keep building over time. Sadly, he isn't allowed to change his living situation at his current rank unless he marries someone, and Hongjoong is not looking for that kind of commitment anytime soon.
Until PFC Park Seonghwa, a tracked vehicle mechanic who works at the motorpool, suggests Hongjoong tie the knot with another soldier doing so for the same reasons. And perhaps he is another soldier who wouldn't mind getting out of the barracks and taking advantage of the added benefits that come with being married soldiers instead of single ones.
They believe they have their little plan all sorted out, but over time, things start to unravel, and Hongjoong realizes somewhere along the way, they've gone off-track.

Summary
“Please forgive me, General, if you think I’m overstepping, but—” Hongjoong hesitates, jaw tightening. Seonghwa hums, a soft sound of curiosity. The soldier swallows, before finally asking—
“Have we met before? You feel… familiar, for some reason.”
Seonghwa tilts his head up to the sky.
Above them, the moon hangs low.
“Tell me, soldier,” Seonghwa breathes, his eyes dropping to cast a thoughtful, sidelong glance at Hongjoong, “do you believe in past lives?”
In every lifetime, Seonghwa lives with the echoes of what came before. He remembers it all—life, loss, love.
Hongjoong doesn't.
But even if only one of them remembers—Park Seonghwa chooses Kim Hongjoong, every single time.

Summary
It’s the nights that are the worst.
At night, with the creeping silence of the dead hour the only thing keeping him company at three in the morning, Hongjoong can do nothing but feel it. The sensation crawls under his skin like a million tiny ants. The noise in his ears is unbearable.
Hongjoong is a popular artist and successful producer suffering from insomnia. Seonghwa hosts a late night radio show. They've been orbiting each other for a long time.

Summary
Hongjoong raises an eyebrow. “You’re… drinking.”
Seonghwa, holding a shot in one hand and a beer in the other, takes a long look at him before slamming the shot back.
“Yeah, well, desperate times call for desperate measures.”
“What desperate times are we talking about?”
That look again. Hongjoong can’t for the life of him decipher what it means.
“I’d rather not talk about it.”
OR
Hongjoong is a student physiotherapist, working with the university lacrosse team. When Seonghwa, the team's star player, gets injured, Hongjoong helps him through his recovery. Seonghwa knows he’s fallen in love with Hongjoong. Hongjoong doesn't know he's fallen in love with Seonghwa.

Summary
After a few dead ends, Seonghwa finally found the door marked “Third Officer.” He hesitated, the ship’s gentle rocking suddenly more noticeable as he crouched to slide the envelope underneath the door, his hand trembling.
No going back now.
Seonghwa straightened and turned to go, feeling an instant flood of relief—until, for the second time that week, he nearly collided with someone standing right behind him.
“Are you always in the habit of sneaking around, Mr. Park?”
—
In 1909, chance meetings on the S.S. Runic set Seonghwa on a journey through Edwardian London, New York, and the depths of the Atlantic aboard the Titanic.

Summary
They chat lightly for a little while more before Maddox gets around to his real reason for calling; he wants to see if Joong is still doing okay, and to be updated on what he terms the ‘Seonghwa Situation’. “I’ll be honest, dude, when you didn’t call me begging me to break you out of there by day three, I started thinking maybe you’d tossed yourself in the lake.” He pauses. “Or that maybe Hwa tossed you in and you just… sort of let him, like a lovelorn assclown.”
“That’s a good album name,” Hongjoong replies dryly. “You should write that down.”
“Avoidance,” Maddox notes, “and attitude. You’re down bad. You’re not fucking him again, are you?”
Hongjoong winces guiltily. “No.”
“But you’re gonna.” It’s not a question.

Summary
No one in his actual life has understood: the weight of this secret that he bears, the battles ahead of him and behind him just to be able to live a life that he wants, all the ways that he will never fit in with them, will never fit in anywhere, no matter how well he might pass.
But Lee Minhyuk cups his face and tips their foreheads together and says in a voice wet with emotion, “I’m here,” and suddenly Hongjoong isn’t alone anymore.
(Or: Hongjoong thought he was the only transgender idol in the industry. He's never been so grateful to be proven wrong.)

Summary
“Do you want to go back?” Hongjoong asked, no longer walking.
Seonghwa stopped too. The mulled wine made his answer come easy, the impulsiveness of the last few days making Seonghwa feel like he could keep pushing. He could keep pretending. Just for a little longer.
“Not yet,” he said.
Or, it’s Christmas, Seonghwa is in London for five days, and Hongjoong is the friend of a friend who offers to show him around when Seonghwa runs away from his work commitments.

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.- Language:

Summary
There are three simple rules in Seonghwa (and Hongjoong!!!!)’s apartment:
1. Take off your shoes indoors (“We’re not wolves around here, Hongjoong. We don’t frolic in the mud.”)
2. Do your chores; everyone has their share in this house
3. Do not—under any circumstances!—touch Seonghwa’s wine collection (triple exclamation marks)
or: hongjoong knows seonghwa is a vampire. he just needs to prove it.
