#The Gilt Trip Trilogy Book 1: Crimes, Confessions, and a Hostage in my Basement Synopsis You've heard this story before. Some poor, soft-eyed civilian gets kidnapped by an unhinged mafia boss with trust issues and a six-pack. Yawn. But what happens when the civilian does the kidnapping instead? Hong Joshua is twenty-seven, painfully average, and a legal advisor who's barely qualified to negotiate his phone bill-let alone a hostage situation. And yet, somehow, he ends up with Lee Seokmin-the CEO of Corvex Group, the underworld's worst-kept secret and walking human crime syndicate-tied to a rusty chair in his basement. Joshua isn't quite sure how he got here. One minute, he's having a very delicious sandwich at a restaurant. The next, there's a bound and gagged mafia boss in his basement, tied to a chair that's older than his career. Oops. Now comes the real problem: what the hell do you do with a mafia kingpin in your basement? Feed him snacks? Call the cops? Negotiate like you actually have leverage? Try not to get murdered? Welcome to the world's worst kidnapping-no ransom, no escape plan, and absolutely no clue what happens next.

On their honeymoon in the Maldives, Joshua -four months pregnant, tries to rekindle their intimacy, while Seokmin, his alpha, struggles between desire and the fear of hurting him. Between teasing and tenderness, their love finds a new balance.

Joshua and Seokmin never expected their worlds to collide - least of all through a marriage neither of them wanted. Bound by family pressure and a deal that benefits powerful names, their union is cold, distant, and filled with unspoken resentments. Joshua keeps his emotions locked away behind a calm, calculated exterior. Seokmin fights to keep his independence, refusing to be anyone's pawn. They're both determined to make the arrangement as painful as possible - but beneath the surface, something shifts. In a city where appearances mean everything and trust is a rare commodity, can two men who barely tolerate each other find something real? Or will their forced vows only deepen the wounds they're desperate to hide?

At one of the country's most elite universities, tension brews between two top students. Jeonghan-sharp-tongued, unbothered, and always three steps ahead-never misses a chance to remind everyone why he's at the top. Seungcheol-stubborn, ambitious, and fiercely hardworking-refuses to let anyone outshine him, especially Jeonghan. Their rivalry isn't just about grades. It's a clash of personalities, pride, and control. Every word between them feels like a challenge. Every glance sparks another silent war. With the campus divided between their groups of friends, peace was never an option. And neither of them plans on backing down.

Joshua Hong is the epitome of perfection: beauty, wealth, and luxury define his life. As the adored son of one of the wealthiest families, Joshua is accustomed to having everything his way, whether it's lavish parties or expensive indulgences. But beneath his flawless exterior lies a sharp tongue and a haughty attitude, often directed at those he deems unworthy of his attention. When Joshua's parents announce his arranged marriage to Seungcheol Choi, the son of their longtime friends, his world turns upside down. Seungcheol is everything Joshua loathes-quiet, awkward, and a self-proclaimed nerd who hides behind thick glasses. In Joshua's eyes, Seungcheol is the opposite of beauty: he's ugly, plain, and unbearably dull.

A mischievous transfer student, used to being the center of attention, finds himself drawn to the enigmatic Ice Prince of the campus-someone who shuts everyone out. Determined to befriend him, he faces countless challenges, unaware that breaking through the Ice Prince's walls will uncover more than he bargained for. Published: 17/1/2025 Finished: 19/2/2025

He wakes with blood on his hands and a name that is not his own. Yoon Jeonghan was meant to die on a rain-slicked road in modern Seoul. Instead, he opens his eyes in chains, buried deep within the stone belly of a Joseon prison-his body wrong, his voice unfamiliar, his reflection stolen. The world speaks an older tongue. Men bow where they should not. Steel follows him like fate. They call him a traitor. The court watches him with sharpened patience. Ministers whisper behind silk sleeves. Guards measure his worth by how quietly he bleeds. And above them all stands the Crown Prince-Choi Seungcheol-ruthless, unreadable, a man history remembers as a monster and Joseon fears as its future. Jeonghan knows this era. He has taught it. Memorized its dates, its executions, its inevitable tragedies. What he does not know is why he has been given this face. Why the prince looks at him as if staring at a ghost. Why survival feels less like escape and more like seduction. Because in a palace where power is ritualized and mercy is a myth, beauty becomes a liability-and love, if it comes at all, arrives sharpened. Some men are born into history. Others are dragged into it, kicking and screaming. And some are never meant to leave.

✨ The Omega Between Two Kings ✨ Genre: Omegaverse • Fantasy Kingdom AU • Romance • Drama Main Pair: Jihancheol (Jeonghan × Joshua × Seungcheol) In a kingdom ruled by two rival alphas, harmony has always been fragile. On one side stands Jeonghan, the White King-beautiful, cunning, and dangerously unpredictable. On the other stands Seungcheol, the Black King-powerful, disciplined, and fiercely loyal to his people. The kingdom survives only because the two Kings, despite their rivalry, share a fragile balance of power. But everything changes the moment Joshua, a gentle but mysterious omega with a rare, ancient scent, awakens from years of suppression. Both Kings sense him. Both Kings want him. And neither is willing to back down. Joshua becomes the center of an emotional storm-caught between Jeonghan's seductive intelligence and Seungcheol's protective strength. Yet the truth hidden within Joshua's bloodline is far greater than any bond: he is the omega destined to unite or destroy the two Kings. As tensions rise and alliances crack, friend groups take sides. Seungkwan and The8 desperately try to protect Joshua. Hoshi and Seokmin support Jeonghan's sudden obsession. Mingyu, Woozi, Wonwoo, Jun, Dino, and Vernon stand by Seungcheol as the rivalry turns dangerous. But when Joshua's scent flares during the Moon Pulse, an ancient prophecy is revealed: "When the omega of dual light awakens, two kings will either bleed the world... or bind it." To save the kingdom, Joshua must navigate desire, power, betrayal, and a destiny that binds him to both alphas. Two kings. One omega. A bond powerful enough to tear the kingdom apart... or bring it together.
