- A childhood promise kept their feelings alive. #nichojoo

Some promises become more than responsibilities.

For Byun Euijoo, peace and quiet are everything. So, when his mother announces she's marrying a wealthy businessman, Euijoo expects a change of scenery-not a complete upheaval of his life. Moving into a sprawling new house means adjusting to a new family, but nothing prepares him for his new stepbrother, Wang Yixiang (Nicholas). Nicholas is sharp, intensely guarded, and radiates a dangerous, magnetic energy that immediately sets Euijoo on edge. From day one, the rules are clear: stay out of each other's way, keep the peace for the sake of their parents, and pretend they are nothing more than strangers sharing a hallway. But living under the same roof makes it impossible to keep their distance. Every late-night encounter in the quiet corridors and every heavy, unspoken glance slowly erodes the boundaries they desperately tried to build. What starts as friction quickly morphs into a suffocating physical tension neither of them can ignore. Nicholas is used to getting exactly what he wants, and it doesn't take long for his intense focus to shift entirely onto his quiet, sensitive new stepbrother. When the lines between family, hatred, and undeniable desire completely blur, they are forced to play a dangerous game of secrets. Because once Nicholas decides to cross the line, he has no intention of ever letting Euijoo back across it. [Nicholas x Euijoo, &TEAM]

In the city of Kyoto, stands a house with 6 empty bedrooms. Driven by a promise of unconditional love, Nicholas and Euijoo opened their doors to the foster care system. Their lives turned upside down by a chaotic but beautiful whirlwind of seven boys, each bearing with their own scars. *also posted on ao3

Seven royals. One chaotic summit. Endless chances to fall in love-or fall apart. When Princess Yuzuki and her younger brother Taki spark quiet rebellion behind palace walls, four unexpected romances bloom amid political tension, betrayal, and truth. From a forbidden love between a prince and his knight, to two rivals forced to confront their fears, to heirs who must choose between duty and heart-nothing stays simple. As kingdoms shift and loyalties are tested, these young royals must decide what's worth fighting for. And who they're willing to defy-together. A story of hidden letters, royal chaos, and love that refuses to be silenced. Cover by @-happyduckiee

Nicholas is a shapeshifting cat who dreams of a mate he has never met and yearns for a life he can never fully have. When he learns that becoming human permanently may lead him to his mate, Nicholas is willing to do whatever it takes, even if it means stealing the body of a human. That human is Byun Euijoo. With Yuma's help, Nicholas infiltrates Euijoo's life, growing closer under the guise of affection and devotion, all while planning to take what he needs. But some truths are cruel, and Euijoo's body was never chosen at random. When Nicholas finally learns why this human was meant for him, he must decide what it truly means to be human, and whether love is worth the cost of becoming one.

Euijoo, a kind yet bratty omega, begins another year at Lunaris Academy, a prestigious school for werewolves with supernatural abilities. As he reunites with his friends-Harua, Taki, and Yuma-he navigates the usual chaos of classes, crushes, and cafeteria fights. But when a mysterious transfer student arrives, bringing secrets that reach far beyond the school gates, Euijoo's ordinary year spirals into something far bigger than pop quizzes and stolen snacks. Between visions he can't explain, a bond that shouldn't be possible, and a pack that feels more like family every day, Euijoo discovers that sometimes the greatest adventures start with a single stumble-and a strawberry-scented spray.
