Tantalizing. That certain adjective was what Kang Taehyun could surely describe Choi Beomgyu, his dear archenemesis, who was the brutal reason for the break-up of his three blissful years of the affectionate relationship he had with his precious girlfriend. Taehyun personally found living throughout the entire academic years of highschool truthfully weird, although everything was close to being considered perfect except for the deep hatred he uncontrollably developed for one popular person in the campus. As somebody who wisely had thick patience as him, he waited until Beomgyu politely apologized for his inappropriate act of initiation in cheating. But, due to the unfortunate circumstances they were in, and the fact that the boy liked to carelessly play around with others' feelings, he.. did not ask for forgiveness sincerely. Feeling unfair, Taehyun hated Beomgyu wholeheartedly. Catastrophic events were deeply despised during the boys' quarrelling. But it was always Taehyun losing his patience, a rare occurrence, and because? Because Beomgyu was tantalizing. +×+ - Tantalizing. [adjective] ; tormenting or teasing with the sight or promise of something unobtainable.

The prophecy had been set since the beginning of time. The sons of God Apollo and Underworld King Hades were fated to battle to the death, the victor to be blessed with ultimate power. Beomgyu's father had never informed him of the prophecy, seeing as Beomgyu had never even met him. Taehyun's father never stopped reminding him of his awaited fate, and sometimes he wished he had never met Hades. But when Beomgyu starts attending Pandora Academy, he finds that his naivety surrounding their world is common knowledge among his peers. Taehyun struggles with whether or not he should reveal the truth about their inevitable battle, which is growing closer with each passing day. It doesn't help that he finds himself starting to fall in love with the boy he's supposed to murder. The story of Pandora's Box in Greek Mythology claims that things which contain pain, fear, or strife should be left alone. But if Beomgyu and Taehyun try to avoid their fate, how will they discover the hope that both will come out alive?

Once upon a time, there existed two fairy kingdoms on a secluded island, each with its unique resources and abilities. While one kingdom was known for its kindness and generosity, the other was covered in darkness and malevolence. The benevolent kingdom thrived on mining and charcoal production, while the other kingdom prospered with water and oil. However, hidden behind their veil of kindness, lays the truth-the wingless Prince. In a world where wings were regarded as symbols of power, grace, and magical abilities, the wingless Prince was seen as a reminder of his kingdom's imperfections. And so, he was isolated, as his very existence was the source of shame for his family. The weight of his imperfection weighed heavily on him, and he so yearned for acceptance and freedom. Despite his rejection and confinement within the castle walls, he remained hopeful that one day he would find his place in the world-and the General from the other side of the island might just be his answer. - Started Writing: July 24, 2021 Book Published: March 24, 2022 End: June 6, 2023 Word Count: 123,741

Synopsis Kang Taehyun comes back to Boston to claim the only thing he has left of his family: a failing bakery passed down through generations. What he doesn't inherit willingly is his father's debt-to the Choi family, one of the city's most powerful criminal dynasties. Choi Beomgyu is sent to collect. Thirteen years ago, Beomgyu was the dangerous boy Taehyun feared and secretly wanted. Now he's a man with absolute power, and Taehyun is cornered with no money, no protection, and no clean escape. Beomgyu doesn't want the bakery. He wants leverage. And when money fails, he offers Taehyun another way to pay: three months of complete submission in exchange for freedom. What begins as coercion quickly turns into something far more volatile. As Taehyun fights to keep his dignity, his business, and his sense of self, Beomgyu discovers that ownership doesn't feel the way he expected. Control turns into obsession. Punishment turns into need. And the line between vengeance and desire blurs until neither man can tell where the debt ends and the wanting begins. In a world ruled by power and fear, both men must decide what they're willing to lose-and what they refuse to give up-when possession starts to feel dangerously close to love. original by Silvia Violet.
