    The Altar's Runaway

    He was promised to a god. He ran into a devil instead.

    Hong Joshua was born to kneel—raised in the glittering chokehold of power, promised since childhood to Choi Seungcheol, heir to the empire that owns half the nation and all of its shadows.
    Theirs was a union written in contracts and sealed in blood, a marriage meant to merge kingdoms and bury him alive in silk.

    But before the vows, Joshua runs.
    Barefoot, breathless, a saint turned sinner beneath the moonlight. He trades his surname for a sin, his destiny for a dirt road, and crashes straight into the man who shouldn't exist—Lee Seokmin.

    A biker with a past that smells like gasoline and gunfire. A man who helps people disappear for a price and keeps his heart locked behind the roar of an engine.

    Joshua offers him money. Seokmin offers him a way out.

    But somewhere between forged passports and stolen motel rooms, the lines blur—between safety and obsession, between hunger and ruin.

    Because Seokmin doesn't want to save him.
    He wants to keep him.

    And maybe Joshua doesn't want to be saved at all.
