Jisung was the opposite-loud, chaotic, golden-hearted and full of light. They weren't supposed to become anything. Just two boys sharing space in a lakeside cabin with their mutual friends, waiting for life to pull them in different directions. But that summer moved slowly. Long afternoons on the dock, late-night games and midnight snacks, Radiohead humming softly through the speakers of Minho's beat-up Mustang while Jisung sat shotgun, kicking his feet up on the dash and talking like he wasn't afraid of the future. And one night- A kiss in the dark. The windows fogged up. A song playing low. No promises. No future. Just everything, all at once. Then the summer ended. And they let go without even trying to hold on. Six years later, Jisung is back in the same quiet town, burned out and a little bit lost, working part-time at a used bookstore while the rest of his life waits for him to figure it out. He doesn't expect to see Minho again-not on the street, not in the coffee shop, not still here like nothing's changed. Their reunion isn't loud. It's quiet. Careful. But something still lingers. Through shared silences, awkward glances, rainy walks, and memories neither of them have let go of, Minho and Jisung begin to circle around what they once were-what they never got the chance to become. based on the song "the one that got away,, by Katy perry!

Five years ago, Lee Felix walked away from a love that felt like a wildfire, leaving Hwang Hyunjin amidst the ashes. Now, the fire is back, but it's no longer warm-it's destructive. To save his family from financial ruin, Felix is forced into an arranged marriage with the man he once broke. Hyunjin is no longer the boy who begged him to stay; he is a cold-blooded CEO with a dominant scent that commands submission and a heart that beats for revenge. In a house filled with expensive silence and toxic pheromones, Felix must navigate a marriage that feels more like a prison sentence. The knot is tied, the vows are spoken, but in this house, there is no love-only the debt that must be paid in skin and tears. ________

When seventeen-year-old Hyunjin nearly gets hit by a motorcycle, he's ready to curse the reckless driver out of existence-until the rider removes his helmet, revealing an infuriatingly smug man who seems to enjoy matching his insults blow for blow. Hyunjin storms off, convinced he'll never see him again. Hours later, that same man is standing in his living room. His name is Minho, and he's been hired as Hyunjin's personal bodyguard. Hyunjin's father claims it's for protection, but from what-or who-remains a mystery. Minho's cold professionalism and sharp tongue clash with Hyunjin's fiery defiance, sparking constant battles of wit and will. But as the tension between them shifts from hatred to something far more dangerous, Hyunjin can't help but wonder: why does Minho always seem to know more than he lets on? And what secrets is his father hiding that made a bodyguard necessary in the first place? Caught between simmering desire and dangerous truths, Hyunjin and Minho are about to discover that some mysteries are best left unsolved-and some lines are meant to be crossed. - "I hate you," Hyunjin whispered one last time, his voice breaking as his hands fisted in Minho's jacket. "Good," Minho murmured, his forehead pressed against Hyunjin's. "Because I hate you too." And still, neither of them pulled away. <<<<>>>>> !! : sex, weapons, alcohol consumption, age difference (hyunjin is 17-18 and minho is 24) Enemies to lovers!!!

Silence kept him alive. Hope almost killed him. For two years, Jisung has survived alone in a city overrun by the dead. He knows their differences-the blind ones that hunt by vibration, the deaf ones that watch and wait-and he knows that one wrong sound can mean being torn apart. The world is quiet now, stripped down to instinct and blood and fear. Then he meets Minho. Cautious, controlled, and terrifyingly capable, Minho has survived by planning for a future Jisung never allowed himself to imagine. Together, they move through streets and forests where danger shifts with every step, where traps lie hidden, and where the dead are not the only threat worth fearing. Trust is built slowly, through shared nights, close calls, and the unspoken understanding that survival is easier when you're not alone. As their partnership deepens into something neither of them names-but both feel-the cost of caring becomes clear. Protecting each other means making impossible choices. Staying alive means risking loss. And the world has a way of punishing those who let themselves hope. When an unsettling sign suggests that the world beyond the ruins may not be as empty as it seems, Jisung is forced to decide how far he's willing to go-not just to survive, but to believe. ⚠️ This book is a work of fiction.

They say they're best friends. But behind closed doors-between stolen kisses, tangled sheets, and whispered confessions that never quite make it out loud-Jisung and Minho are so much more. They don't do labels. They don't talk about feelings. And they definitely don't act like they're in love. Except everyone sees it. Feels it. Because best friends don't look at each other like that. -- #1 -> minsung / 4. Juli 2025

The scars around Minho's wrist? They're just from fighting. Or at least that's what everyone assumes. Jisung, on the other hand, has a feeling there's a darker backstory to it than what everyone says and he's determined to find out. In which Minho is known to be the cold hearted gang member, but that all changes when he has to sit next to Jisung in class. - *the scars are NOT from self harm* DO NOT SKIP THE INTRO CHAPTER. Read it, it has the TWs and other important info needed.

Felix and Hyunjin are inseparable best friends-maybe a little too close. But Hyunjin has a girlfriend, who's overprotective and controlling, while Felix is secretly in love with him.
