Seonghwa finds himself living a life he once thought was lost: a future with Hongjoong. Months have passed since their escape from Silverport, and life aboard The Black Siren has settled into a simple rhythm, with Seonghwa slowly healing and establishing his place among the crew. Though haunted by past, each day is a step forward with Hongjoong by his side, their relationship deepening as they explore uncharted waters and new territories.

[Completed] Seonghwa's life is a mess - a mix of reckless choices, controlling family, and self-destructive tendencies. The last thing he needs is Hongjoong, his one-night stand turned bodyguard, following his every move. [YOUTH out now - Yunho's story parallel to this]

[completed] First, they were friends. Then they were everything to each other. And then, they were nothing. Years later, Mingi crashes back into Yunho's life with a confession about one of his songs, unraveling old memories and unresolved feelings. Suddenly, Yunho's perfectly crafted life is thrown into chaos and everything he'd ever wanted doesn't feel like enough anymore. Or: Yunho is the golden heir to a powerful family, and Mingi is the rockstar who never got over him. They were doomed from the start.

[completed] "Very romantic, don't you think?" Wooyoung asked as they settled in. San raised an eyebrow. "What, the view?" "Everything. The view. The atmosphere. Us." Wooyoung leaned forward, resting his chin on his hands, flashing his most charming smile. "Feels like the kind of place people come for... special occasions." San blinked, then gave him an amused look. "Are you trying to tell me something?" Wooyoung resisted the urge to scream in frustration. Yes, San. I am trying to tell you something. I have been for weeks. Marry me, you idiot. Or: the five times Wooyoung tried to get San to propose. And the one time San did.

Seonghwa is annoyed with all the noise coming from the apartment under him so he goes down to complain. He didn't realize that the man would be so captivating or that he would get invited in... Or that he would be influenced to drink or that he would end up in his neighbors bed.

"i'm waiting, hongjoong," seonghwa calls out, his smile blinding. "i'm here." so hongjoong gets up and runs through rows of bright yellow flowers, because it's seonghwa that's on the other side. it's seonghwa that pulls him close and kisses him, slow and breathtaking. it's seonghwa that's staring at him through those round brown eyes of his, real and affectionate and overflowing with love. seonghwa feels just like home. ### ( disclaimer: this story is purely fictional and has nothing to do with the members in real life )
