"He was taught to win wars, not to fall in love." General Kim Hongjoong is a man of ice. Orphaned, hardened by the streets, and molded by the military, he has spent thirty-six years building a life of power where no one can ever hurt him again. As a high-ranking commander in the Vietnam War, his only job is to lead, to fight, and to survive. He doesn't have room for feelings. Until he meets Park Seonghwa. In the middle of a brutal war and the endless jungle rain, Seonghwa is the only thing that feels like home. But in 1970, their love isn't just a secret-it's a crime. Especially in a world of rigid military codes and a war that demands total loyalty, love is more than a distraction. It's treason. Loving Seonghwa means risking the rank Hongjoong bled to earn. It means choosing between the life he fought to build and the man he can't breathe without. Now, the General faces his most brutal choice: Does he protect the rank that saved him from poverty? Or does he burn it all down for a love that was never supposed to exist?

Seonghwa texts the wrong number, not knowing what he is getting himself into. Hongjoong has been Seonghwa's crush for over a year now but the older never had the courage to go up and talk to him. One day he finds himself sick so he asks Yunho, his bestfriend, for the notes. Unfortunately Yunho too is at home sick, so he send Seonghwa Yeosang's number. But Yunho mispelled the number, so instead of texting Yeosang, Seonghwa finds himself texting a random student of their university. -this is mostly text -I am in no means good at writing so this will be shitty asf!!<33-

Hongjoong was wandering around the empty library, looking through books to find one that might sparkle his interest. "What's that?" "Is this a note?" "was this inside the book?" A soft smile appeared on his lips as he read through the sweet message. He was quick to grab a pen and a piece of paper from his backpack and scribble something down before putting the book back on the shelf where it belonged. {short chapters}

Behind the empire of the most feared Mafia boss in the city lies a truth few would dare believe: Hongjoong is a killer. A leader. A mastermind. But at home, he's something else entirely-a husband, a protector, a father figure. Seonghwa is the heart of the family. A man with a spine of steel and a soft voice. He didn't choose this life. He chose Hongjoong-and the life came with him. Together, they've built something sacred. A home where strays turn into brothers. Where loyalty is repaid in kind. Where blood is thicker than water-unless it stains the carpet. This is the story of how a Mafia family holds together-through blood, bullets, breakfast, and bedtime stories

"Do I need to forget it now?" "No... Never. It's only just begun." ͙⁺˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚⁺‧͙⁺˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚⁺‧͙⁺˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚⁺‧͙ The past isn't always mean to be concealed.

However, it all occurs because of one boy... Kim Hongjoong. A boy who once offered comfort in the solace, now turned punk. A forced reunion at a theatre reignites everything Seonghwa thought he had buried: longing, jealousy, want. When a chance pulls him into Hongjoong's world -- through stolen glances, misplaced words and a kiss that neither of them was ready for -- the past resurfaces and Seonghwa is forced to question all that they are. Miscommunication and fear pull them apart, ruining a chance of reconciliation between the two. But love doesn't end. It lingers. And soon, Seonghwa and Hongjoong are forced to confront what they've been running from all along. ͙⁺˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚⁺‧͙⁺˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚⁺‧͙⁺˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚⁺‧͙ ateez!90'sAU Matz centered ♡

The Outlaws were supposed to die for what they did. Instead, they were sent to Facility 8, a psychiatric institution buried behind silence, concrete and sedation. A place design not to heal, but to break people. Inside, they find him. Seonghwa was already there, long before them, pale, precise and unnervingly calm. To The Outlaws, he looks like a victim, just another soul crushed by the government, but Facility 8 wasn't built to contain rebels, it was built to contain him. He could leave whenever he wants, but he doesn't. Because some monsters learn to stay in their cages.

Every thirty years, the sea demands a royal. Seonghwa steps forward. Unwanted, unmissed and too soft for the world that raised him. Captain Hongjoong wasn't planning to save anyone but nothing enraged him more than nobles discarding lives they never valued. He takes Seonghwa. Not out of mercy, but to spit in the face of power. If the nobles want blood, they'll have to come get it. So he stole their sacrifice.

Kim Hongjoong is a CEO. A rich and overworked man who ends up in a seaside town after working himself into a hospital bed. What he doesn't expect is his quiet, beautiful neighbor with soft cardigans, a calico cat and a tendency to hand him tea without him asking. Seonghwa has always been alone but not lonely. At least, not until Hongjoong shows him what company feels like. A story of tea kettles, slow mornings, yarn and learning that maybe, just maybe, you don't have to choose between loving someone and loving your job. - Soft CEO x Sweet shopkeeper

Every tendon in his body torn apart, he dies a horrific death- but the gods, moved by his plight, grant him a second chance. Transported back to a time before his tragedy unfolded, Seonghwa is determined to rewrite his fate, protect himself, and perhaps exact revenge on those who betrayed him. But this time, he won't leave things to chance. If a golden heir is what they demand, then a golden heir is what he'll give them- even if it means sleeping with the Dragon King himself.
