Touch what's his, and you pay. Some have paid with their lives, learning what kind of man Bang Chan is-not just powerful, but possessive. In the shadows, a slow burn between Chan and his fixer, Minho, threatens to consume them both, unraveling years of silent desire.

Han Jisung lives in soft things-paint-stained sleeves, half-finished sketches, kids who cling to him like he's something safe. Working at a daycare run by Chan, his world is quiet in the way that feels fragile, like it could crack if held too tightly. Lee Minho lives in noise-revving engines, sleepless nights, streets that blur into nothing when he rides too fast. Ink stains his skin, grease stains his hands, and the mechanic shop he runs with Changbin and Hyunjin is the only place that ever feels steady. They were never meant to meet. But Chan exists in both of their worlds, and one careless introduction is all it takes to throw everything off balance. Jisung talks too much, feels too much, hopes too much. Minho says nothing, trusts nothing, lets nothing stay. Still, they keep ending up in the same places-late nights at the shop, quiet rides that mean more than they should, moments that linger longer than either of them is ready for. Minho doesn't do soft. Jisung doesn't know how to be anything else. And somewhere between lace and leather, silence and confession, they start wanting things they can't keep. Because getting close was never the problem- it's what comes after that threatens to break them.

Han Jisung is an alpha who has been deeply traumatised, leaving him almost entirely severed from his inner alpha. He functions, but he doesn't live. He avoids bonds, avoids intimacy, avoids anything that might awaken the instincts he fears. To him, the idea of a mate - let alone a pack - is impossible. Until fate throws him in the path of an unusual couple: Felix, a gentle but stubborn omega, and Bang Chan, his protective alpha mate. They are two members of a seven-piece polycule, a pack bound by love, instinct, and choice. Will 8 be fate?

"Please give me a chance.... I want to create everything again... I want to protect you... You are supposed to be my mate...felix...please."... Hyunjin broke down and fell on his knees and is now looking at felix with tears striken face while clasping his hands together.... "You lost the chance a long time ago".... felix whispered his voice hoarse while his eyes are now blank and he slowly scooped his four year old son in his arms and walked away ..... __________________

Chan came to college to disappear. To survive quietly. To leave his past where no one could touch it. Instead, he met Stray Kids-seven people already bound to each other, admired by everyone, and cruel to anyone who didn't belong. When the world fractures and soulmarks appear, fate makes a mistake. Chan is tied to them. An Enigma hiding behind the mask of an Alpha, Chan refuses the bond, drowning himself in noise, strangers, and recklessness to escape what he never asked for. But soulmarks don't care about history, and destiny doesn't care about guilt. As society reshapes itself around secondary genders and fear, Stray Kids are forced to confront the damage they caused-and the terrifying truth that losing Chan might be the one thing fate won't forgive. In a world where love is power and bonds are law, the question isn't whether they're meant to be together- it's whether love can survive being forced, broken, and chosen too late.

**COMPLETED** "Fuck you, Jisung." Minho's not scared of anyone until the whispers start. That he's not as untouchable as he thinks. That Jisung, the fragile little bottom everyone babies, could ruin him. "You like being used, don't you, Minho~" Jisung's tired of playing nice. He's not innocent. He's not soft. And he's been watching Minho. Waiting. Plotting. Everyone used him as a joke, now he's going to be their proof. "Beg for it, Slut." Minho invites Jisung over during a party to prove who's really in control. But it's not Minho's game anymore. It never was. "You hate me? Then why are you moaning my name?" This isn't romance. This isn't redemption. This is punishment. And Jisung's not holding back.

Han Jisung loves pink, oversized shirts, and everything soft and sparkly. He loves BL manhwa. He loves being spoiled. But there's one thing he will never, ever do: be someone's housewife. Enter Lee Minho. Calm. Handsome. Rich enough to buy the world. And apparently... convinced that Jisung should welcome him home like the perfect little spouse. Jisung refuses. He rebels. He hides, he sleeps early, he eats cheesecake while ignoring instructions... Basically, he does everything to drive Minho insane. Minho? Calm as ever. Gentle. Patient. Unshakable. And for some reason, every gift, every flower, every quiet apology makes Jisung want to scream-and maybe, just maybe... feel something he didn't expect. He's not Minho's housewife. Not even close. ...but being married to a CEO might be messier-and sweeter-than he ever imagined.

Jisung had spent his whole life as an option - never a choice. Passed between parents who didn't want him, he grew up believing he was temporary. Until the Lee family decided he would be their grandson's spouse. He expected duty. He expected distance. He never expected Lee Minho - someone who would handle him sometimes patiently, sometimes frustratingly. Because sometimes love isn't loud - it's patient. Sometimes home isn't a place - it's a person. And sometimes, forever doesn't feel like a chain... it feels like a promise.

Han Jisung, an abandoned child adopted by Lee Lina, was caught in the eye of one of the most dangerous mafias in the history of Seoul, Lee Minho. As fate would have it, they were forced into a marriage by their parents for the sake of their own lives. Jisung despises Minho with all his heart and that goes the same for Minho. Jisung has a troubled past, causing emotional pain and trust issues in their relationship. Minho struggles with family issues. Can they trace the blurred lines between love and hate? Can they understand the beauties and pains of love? And most importantly, can they do it together? ⚠️Warning • gay • homophobic • swearing • sexual content • child abuse • mental illness • smut(?)

The sky is burning... The world is caught in a perpetual twilight. Creatures of the night roaming free. Like him, one of the werewolves... like myself and my kind, the vampires...
