In order to keep the house he worked hard for, he's forced to search for a roommate. Enter Minho, a kind uncle by day and an underground boxer by night. And a man looking for a place to live. They find a way to be the perfect roommates, and with their differing schedules, it's easy to live around each other. But eventually their mutual interest grows.

[complete] "My little birds deserve only the best" it's with a promise that it starts: a promise of safety against the violence of the world, the hunger, the loneliness and the poverty. Just like a little bird, as long as you stay in The Nest nothing from outside will hurt you and Wooyoung belives it. But what to do when the most scary monsters come from the inside? Who will protect you then? "For a moment, San just stood there, watching him. In the dim light, Wooyoung looked peaceful, a stark contrast to the chaotic energy he had been radiating at the club just hours before. But as San gazed at him, a shadow of unease crossed his mind. San wondered if he was trying to drown out something, bury it under layers of noise and intoxication. It was in the way Wooyoung's smile never quite reached his eyes, the way his laughter sometimes faltered, as though the weight of whatever haunted him was too heavy to ignore, even for a moment. He didn't know what Wooyoung was running from, but he could feel the darkness lurking beneath the surface, the shadows of whatever had hurt him. San wanted to help, to reach out, but tonight wasn't the time. For now, all he could do was make sure Wooyoung was safe and comfortable." • ☾ 21+ content, this is the angstest story I've ever written and it contains very triggering topics as self-harm, sexual abuse, underage, physical and psychological violence.

[COMPLETED] ✅️ Seonghwa was the trusted and most beautiful prince in all the kingdoms, a hidden gem to the outside world for most of his life. By making a name for himself as he came closer to being crowned King, as long as he married his beautiful wife to be. His life couldn't get any better for him, at least that is what he was told. But then came a night he'd remember forever as he was stolen from his bed and forced to fight for his life to keep from being kidnapped. Seonghwa had found himself in the hands of six ruthless pirates who had no intention of making his life any easier. Now all he can do is prove to everyone that he deserves to stay alive. But he meets his biggest challenge yet...Kim Hongjoong, The Pirate King.

"I reckon ye only be mad at me," he started, his eyes closing shut like he knew the prince would bring him no harm. " 'Cause ye 'ave no freedom in yer own life." A simple sentence was all it was really, words compiled together to form a meaning. Sometimes such meanings were in fact meaningless, they held no truth and were only spoken for the sake of aggravation. Though in even rarer times, there was truth rooted in the very ground of the meaning and that was what caused the aggravation. But what would a pirate know? Or: Royal prince Seonghwa who is first in line for the throne, finally meets the recently captured and most feared pirate in all the Seven Seas who has been condemned to death. Every year on the feast on the Ceremony of the Golden Rose, the crown prince is to take a rose dipped in gold to present to one special prisoner as a gift of freedom and a new start at life. This year is like no other, besides the fact that the great pirate king who infuriates Seonghwa to no end might end up shedding a new kind of light on the young and very adventurous prince, changing his views altogether.
