Zhu Yan blinked. He didn't have another guest till later, and he grew suspicious, worried for Xiao Bai. He hurriedly opened the doors, only to find himself looking into a pair of grey blue eyes on a handsome face staring back at him. Not my story From: Ao3

There was a time and a place where I just wanted to die. Then I arrived in this place where I don't know anyone. Here demons do not exist, but I still have all my powers, and when I thought I was alone, I saw you, you who were not unknown to me, but you were not the person I knew. "Young Master Gong YuanZhi, poisons do nothing to him and even our chains cannot restrain him." A guard said. Then you turned around and while I thought I knew you you laughed before smiling, and I realized that you weren't Yichen, but someone else. "If poisons and chains don't hold him, leave it to me." You said before the guard left. Where am I ? Who are you ? And most importantly, how did I get here while fighting Li Lun to buy time for the others to escape ?

KQ High runs on rumors, ranks, and fear. At the top is The Real - a name whispered more than it's spoken. No one knows how they're chosen. No one knows how they move. And no one questions who's in charge. Wooyoung already has power. Respect. Fear. A position people would kill for. Then San transfers in. Quiet. Untouchable. Unimpressed. He doesn't flinch. He doesn't bow. And somehow, without trying, he stands higher. What starts as fascination turns into obsession. What looks like control starts slipping. Because at KQ High, being loud doesn't make you powerful. Being real does.

WARNING: There are massive spoilers for Teammates With Benefits. If you don't want a book full of smut, then this book can kind of be read as a standalone, but I would not recommend it. There will most likely be smut, but this is going to be a slow burn. Homophobia will be way more present than it was in Teammates With Benefits. My updating schedule will be the exact same as it was for Teammates With Benefits. Every Monday and Friday at 7 AM PST/10 AM EST. This will be consistent throughout the entire book. This book will probably be under constant editing, similar to Teammates With Benefits. Again, the schedule of these football (American football) games will not be the same as it is in real life. In real life, college football ends in January, but in this book, games will go until May. This is most likely not going to be the only sequel/spin off I write off of Teammates With Benefits. I'll see where all the characters are by the end of this book, decide if I want to or am at least motivated enough to write another book with these characters. I most likely will be.

This is the book 2 but also a standalone. Try reading selfish Waltz first to understand some things. ________ It was supposed to end at the altar. Hongjoong and Seonghwa's wedding marked peace, truce, and the end of war. Until a gunshot tore through the celebration. Wooyoung wakes up in a hospital bed, a bullet in his stomach, a burning question in his chest-and Choi San, annoyingly overprotective, at his side. With blood on his mind and betrayal behind his smile, Wooyoung wants two things: revenge... and space. But San has orders from Hongjoong to never leave his side. When the group agrees to handle things legally, with a prosecutor's help, Wooyoung is the only one who sees it going wrong. Horribly wrong. The deeper they dig, the worse things get. Friends turn against each other. Traps are set. And an anonymous enemy-The Puppet Master-begins a twisted game called The Price of Peace. In a world where light doesn't mean safety, and justice doesn't mean survival, Wooyoung and San must decide what they're really willing to lose...their love or their lives... -before the Puppet Master takes everything. Blood. Loyalty. Revenge. Healing. This is the sequel to Selfish Waltz(SeongJoong focus).
