in which an introverted merman gets swimming lessons from the school's swimming athlete.

- EDITING Two rival companies decide to merge, and their heirs are forced into a marriage neither of them wants. Yang Jungwon is reckless, unpredictable, and allergic to commitment. Park Jongseong is cold, disciplined, and impossible to read. Living together was supposed to be part of the deal. Falling for each other was not. But somewhere between family pressure, endless arguments, and a contract neither of them can escape, things start to feel dangerously real. - Created - Nov. 10 Published - Nov. 12 Status - Completed Highest rank achievements: #2 - Jaywon - 12/06/2025 #1 - Jay - 12/25/2025 #2 - Jungwon - 12/29/2025 #7 - Park Jongseong - 02/01/2025 #1 - Jang Wonyoung - 01/07/2026 #1 - Wonyoung - 01/22/2026

Everyone fears Mr. Lee Heeseung. Cold. Ruthless. Obsessively in control. I was supposed to be just his secretary-polite, professional and invisible. But one mistake changed everything. A late report became a punishment. A punishment that left me breathless, pinned to his desk, whispering his name into the dark. Now I don't just type his emails-I wear his bruises like badges. He uses me after hours, marks me between meetings, and tells me I'm his. He doesn't believe in love-not until I came into his life, and he believes in ownership. And I'm the one he keeps leashed. I should've run the moment he touched me. But I didn't. Because the more he ruins me... The more I want to be ruined. On my knees, undone, wrapped in his tie-with no way out And the worst part? I love being used.

Jungwon looked at him then-really looked. Not the careful idol gaze, not the practiced one he wore for cameras and crowds. This was stripped bare, quiet, dangerous in its honesty. His hands were still. His voice didn't shake, which somehow made it worse. "Do you regret not ending it?" Jay felt it hit somewhere deep-below instinct, below training. Right where the mission used to live. "No," Jay said, too fast, like the truth had been pacing for days. Then he swallowed, slower now, because this part mattered. "I regret that I ever believed I could." Jungwon's breath caught. Just once. Enough. Jay stepped closer, close enough that Jungwon could feel the heat of him, the certainty. His voice dropped-not soft, not loud. Final. "I'd rather die myself," he said, "than be the man who ends you." Jungwon stared at him like he was memorizing a face he might lose. Like he already knew this was the moment everything split-before and after. And Jay knew it too. Somewhere far away, the world kept turning. But right there- Jay stopped being a weapon. And Jungwon stopped being a target. jaywon smut

Jungwon believed in fairytales. Jay didn't believe in love. When a business deal ties them together in an unwanted marriage, one gives his heart, and the other gives his silence. Jungwon dreamed of confessions under starlight. Jay dreamed of nothing but success. And so begins a slow-burning love story, where hope meets heartbreak, and feelings are buried beneath contracts and cold shoulders. A soft boy who wants to be loved. A cold CEO who swears he never will. But what happens... when the heart you break becomes the one you can't live without?

The very act of turning away from something you've already decided you can't have.
