They were each other's first love. And their first heartbreak. Felix and Hyunjin haven't spoken since high school-since one goodbye tore them apart. Now they're debuting in the same idol group. To the world, they're rivals. Strangers. Behind closed doors, they're something messier. Bitten-back words. Lingering stares. A history neither of them knows how to bury. But feelings don't fade just because time passes. And love doesn't always listen to reason. Because what do you do when the boy you thought you lost forever... is standing right in front of you again? This is their second first love. And maybe-just maybe-it's the one that lasts.

Jung Wooyoung never expected his life to spiral into chaos, but after a scandal threatens his family's jewelry empire, he's forced into an arranged marriage with Choi Beom-gyu-a man as sharp-witted as he is infuriating. Their marriage is anything but harmonious, with fiery clashes, cold shoulders, and an undeniable tension neither wants to name. Their families, desperate to salvage the situation, send them to marriage counseling. Choi San-tall, broad-shouldered, and dangerously captivating. As their counselor, San is supposed to guide them toward reconciliation, but the more he observes Wooyoung, the more intrigued he becomes. Wooyoung, drawn to San in a way he can't explain, finds himself caught between the man he's bound to and the one who tempts him in ways he shouldn't allow. ⚠️ Content Warning ⚠️ This book contains explicit language, graphic violence, and depictions of murder, gang warfare, and bloodshed.

[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.
