The only person Seonghwa can rely on is Yunho, his neighbor and sole friend.

A raw and intimate journey through the years of Seonghwa and Hongjoong's relationship - from the very beginning to what once felt like the end. This isn't a perfect love story. But it is real. It's messy. It's full of insecurities, fears, doubts, and mistakes. But through every fight, every silence, every moment that could've broken them... they chose to hold on. To love harder. To hold harder. To never let go. [Set in the Hit Me Harder/Love Me Harder universe by Hwaangelic.]

Jung Wooyoung was taken in as a young child by the King of Arisalia. Wooyoung was trained to be the closest guard for Crown Prince Yeosang. Upon the King's orders, Wooyoung became the Decoy Prince. Taking Yeosang's place in all official capacities since they were children, in order to further protect him and keep Yeosang's identity a secret. Neither one knew the real reason for the King's order but regardless of their strange arrangement, Yeosang and Wooyoung became closer than anyone else. And when he was allowed, Yeosang would accompany Wooyoung during his duties. The Spring Festival has arrived and Yeosang is excited to be allowed to attend along with his father, the king, and 'Prince' Wooyoung. Unbeknownst to them, a darkness lingers in the waters. Watching. Waiting. For they have heard stories told of a treasure that only the Arisalian Crown can give them. Danger lurks around the corner. When it strikes, can Wooyoung and Yeosang manage it themselves? Or will they need the help of the fabled Pirate King and his crew? What waits for them among the waves?

Hongjoong gave the vampire outside his cage a long and glaring look. None of his considerations mattered anyway; the searing pain of the bite mark on his neck had assured him of that. But, to the core, he was still a hunter. And who was he to refuse his duty as one?

Park Seonghwa was never made for the throne. Kim Hongjoong was never meant to paint him. But when tragic deaths ravage both sides' lives, their paths collide with a shockwave that will have repercussions. Hired as the new king's royal portrait artist, Kim Hongjoong takes the job that was supposed to be his late mentor's. Unable to hide his disdain for royalty, the young artist's relationship with Seonghwa is frigid at best. His Majesty is much the same, keeping mostly to himself for he hides a secret, one that could ruin his fragile rule. As time goes on, something between the pair blossoms during the long hours spent in Kim Hongjoong's painting studio. Something that could cause terrible trouble within Gaul's high court.
