He's tired. Exhausted, really. Not just in body-but in spirit, in soul. Every day feels like a silent war he didn't ask to fight. The fear- It lingers like smoke, always in the air. The fear of him. The one who forced his way in and never left. The one who turned safety into a stranger. He dreads going to work. He dreads the hallways, the rehearsals, the possibility of brushing past him. He dreads the lies he tells with a smile. "I'm fine." "I'm just tired." "I'm okay." He hides. From the truth. From his members. From the question in their eyes he's too scared to answer. How do you tell the people you love that someone is breaking you? Slowly. Quietly. Every single day. If only he had the courage. Just one moment of boldness- To look him in the eye and say, "No more." Would that set him free? He hopes so. He has to hope. Because right now, hope is all he's got left.

A continuation of Tangled Part 1, Second Ending.

"How long?" You bite your lip again and turn your head out of Chris's hold. He scuffs while nodding his head then takes a step back. You can tell that he is irritated and is trying to hold back. Your face scrunches as you look down. You can practically feel the anger rolling off of him in waves. He licks his lips and takes a seat back on the coffee table, one of his hands running through his hair. Crap, you can feel him. The bond must have activated. "How long?" he asks again. How long what? You say to your self. How long have you known that they were your mates? Shit, should she lie? One look around at all of their faces and you know. There is no use in lying now. They must know, maybe they are testing you to see if you'll lie to them. Minho reaches forward and grabs your chin. "How long?" Fucking A. The tingles. And his voice. How did I not know his voice gets this deep. You clench your thighs together. You couldn't concentrate. Focus Rae! You would rather they just yell than talk to you like this. You feel like you are getting scolded by one of your parents. You lick your lips. " Almost two years" you whisper. "All the signs were there." You lick your lips feeling parched. "I only realized last November that we were actually mates." You turn and jerk your head out of his hold now. Is that a thing? Did they like grabbing peoples chins? You rub your chin, you can feel your eyes starting to burn. Do not cry Rae. Don't okay, just hold it. You swipe your eyes with the back of your hand. Minho leans away and goes to sit next to Han on the couch who is next to Hyunjin. He made a sound at the back of his throat that made him sound so disappointed in you. You slump down into the chair. "What was I suppose to do, huh? You guys were the ones being all Hot n' Cold with me?" You jump at the sound of glass being broken. You lean to your left to look around Chans form to see Seungmin standing up hands balled at his side. Did he just throw something?

BOOK TWO of the Ours Series. *Please read book one before you continue.* Lydia never expected this. She never even thought to hope for it. But now that she has it, she'll do everything in her power to keep it.

Three bonded omegas. One chaotic apartment. Zero tolerance for boring alphas. Jisung, Felix, and Seungmin are loud, bratty, and perfectly content living on snack food, emotional co-dependency, and sheer audacity. They've shared everything since they were kids-- including the deeply held belief that no alpha has ever been good enough to tame even one of them, let alone all three. Then, five new neighbors move in next door. Five tall, quiet, maddeningly self-contained alphas. They're calm. Distant. Unimpressed. Which, frankly, is unacceptable. Naturally, the omegas launch a campaign of chaos to break them. But the alphas don't flinch. Don't run. Worse... they start to care. And the brats start to wonder: maybe the real danger isn't being rejected-- maybe it's being claimed. ________________________________________ Posted on my Ao3: MommaBeanSkz Please do not copy or translate without my permission.

Nine strangers. A housing glitch. And one girl whose name fooled the system and everyone else. When Emery Rowe, a transferred student with a past she doesn't talk about and a smile she never quite lets drop, lands in Haneul University's most infamous all-boys dorm, she blames it on bad luck... and her suspiciously misleading name. Eight guys. Eight clashing majors. Eight ticking time bombs. They don't get along, don't want a new roommate, and definitely don't know what to do with her. From hallway run-ins and midnight snack battles to stolen hoodies, jealous stares to rooftop meetings, and tension you could cut with a kitchen knife; this dorm is chaos. And Emery? In the middle of it all, she finds an unexpected calm in Yang Jeongin, the cold photography major who sees more than he says. She wasn't looking for love; she was looking for a calm semester and a HOME. But maybe love was quietly waiting-for her.
