    Summary

    Seonghwa was staring at him with awe. Awe, as if the simple truth — that the sea stood above the shore, that Seonghwa was not lesser but greater — was a miracle he had never been granted before. Hongjoong leaned closer, his voice dropping to a whisper, “If I could trade my legs for a tail, I would. Without hesitation. There’s no world where your kind is inferior to me. No world where I see you as anything but wonder.”

    Or;

    Hongjoong rescues Seonghwa, a merman, from his father’s ship after years of captivity and abuse. Aboard his own deck, they begin to heal, and their love grows despite every reason it shouldn’t. But as the scars of the past linger and old enemies rise again, both must decide how far they’re willing to go to protect each other.

    Hongjoong had started to notice it: Seonghwa was thinking about marriage.

    Or, the one where they buy promise rings in Milan.

    Summary

    Seonghwa could only frown in confusion and blink slowly as his tipsy brain tried to make sense of the random question, silently staring at the stranger while he fidgeted anxiously under his gaze.

    “How much for an hour?” asked Awkward Guy in a rush.

    “An hour?” parroted Seonghwa, feeling even more puzzled by the supposed clarification.

    “Oh, you’re right, that’s probably not enough time…” the stranger muttered before touching his glasses nervously. “Ho-how much for the whole night?”

    Seonghwa simply stared at him for a second longer before he finally managed to process what the man had said as that last question made the rest of the conversation click and fall into place.

    Awkward Guy was asking how much it cost to spend the night with him.

    Because he thought Seonghwa was a prostitute.

    WILD. Literally WILD. I was not ready for the depth of emotional wrecking. Not a light story by any means. Prepare yourself. 😭🥹

    Summary

    Seonghwa’s world is measured in stems and ribbon lengths, in the quiet hum of Mars in Bloom and the familiar weight of scissors in his hand.

    Hongjoong’s is sharper — clean lines of ink, the low buzz of a tattoo machine, flashes of red hair bent over a sketchbook in the moody light of No. 1 Ink.

    They’re neighbors by chance.
    A marigold in the middle of a rainstorm changes everything.

    What starts with swapped deliveries and questions about the language of flowers turns into afternoons spent in each other’s spaces. Somewhere between the petals and the ink lines, something begins to take root.

    Or: A florist and a tattoo artist keep finding excuses not to leave.

    Summary

    Seonghwa started an OnlyFans while in university to help him and his roommate, Hongjoong, make ends meet, not anticipating his side-hustle to quickly spiral out of control, becoming his full-time job. His OnlyFans account gains him lucrative income, adoring fans, and a tight-knit team to help him grow even larger on the platform.

    But as time passes, Seonghwa is starting to get burnt out, and his manager suggests changing things up by doing a challenge going around the platform. The only problem is, it requires a partner, something Seonghwa has refused time and time again with the same excuses-he doesn't have a partner, he doesn't trust anyone, he is afraid a collaboration will go south-shooting the idea down for the nth time.

    Until one day his trusted photographer can't make it to their shoot, and Seonghwa is left to do it on his own, something he hasn't done in a while. But his roommate steps in, and offers to fill in for her last minute. Seonghwa is skeptical at first, since Hongjoong stays far, far removed from Seonghwa's profession, but when things go well-better than he could've imagined-Seonghwa doesn't see the harm in simply asking Hongjoong to help out a little more.
