Mok is badly hurt. Rome is informed. Love is tested in the space between fear and action.

A deliciously chaotic collection of one-shots featuring William and Est being very down bad for each other-in all the best ways. Expect smut. Expect feelings. Expect slow burn. And angst. Expect unspoken feelings simmering just under the surface while they pretend they're not in love (they so are). Basically: it's tenderness with teeth, filth with feelings, and an ever-growing pile of "this should not feel this intimate" moments. Warning: Contains explicit content, emotional constipation, soft dominance, and dangerous amounts of sexual tension.

The Lee family is cursed every child will suffer terrible accidents unless they marry their fated match, chosen by destiny. But these matches are never who the family wants poor, rebellious, or even from enemy families. Seongcheol the cold eldest son, is stuck in a silent marriage with Jeonghan, a gentle former servant who hides his tears every night. seokmin the strict middle son, is forced to marry Joshua a spoiled rich brat who loves breaking rules. And Mingyu, the youngest, is secretly in love with Wonwoo, his family's greatest rival while his real match waits. The curse won't lift until the Lees learn the truth: love isn't about control, but acceptance. Can these mismatched couples tear down years of tradition, or will their pride destroy them all?

Seungcheol was deeply and openly in love with Joshua, and everyone knew it. Their parents had already decided on their marriage, and both the Alpha and the gentle Omega were ready to spend their lives together. Their bond was pure, mutual, and steady - the kind of love people felt grateful to witness. But Jeonghan, the master manipulator he always was, refused to accept it. Driven by jealousy and obsession, Jeonghan destroyed the wedding with his wicked schemes. One night of lies was enough to twist the truth, stain Seungcheol's image, and break Joshua's heart. What Jeonghan did forced both families into chaos. His actions didn't just stop a wedding - they shattered destinies. Joshua was pushed into marrying Seokmin, Seungcheol's calm and distant brother, while Jeonghan used threats and false evidence to trap Seungcheol into a marriage he never wanted. Seungcheol despised Jeonghan to the core, hated his presence, and refused to spare him even a single glance. But tradition came first, and duty always won. And so, the impossible happened. The twins married the opposite person they loved. What should have been a blessed union turned into a curse - and the problems only grew from there.
