"any good captain would know this is not a good idea, especially right before a big game like tomorrow," he said sternly. hongjoong scoffed slightly and stood up a little taller and got in seonghwa's face, making him lean back a little. "a good captain isn't a good captain unless their teammates respect them. how can they respect you if you back down from a harmless game?" he says so smoothly, his voice was so soft and deep. "it's not even a full game anyway, just four on four." there was a slight glint in his eye as he continued, "unless you're too scared to lose again." or: park seonghwa and his team win the semi-finals and are on their way to nationals to compete on some of the biggest courts they will ever see. enter kim hongjoong and his team, also seemingly having advanced and will be present at nationals. their long rivalry with each other is vicious to the point where seonghwa will push himself too far to make sure he beats the other.

"I reckon ye only be mad at me," he started, his eyes closing shut like he knew the prince would bring him no harm. " 'Cause ye 'ave no freedom in yer own life." A simple sentence was all it was really, words compiled together to form a meaning. Sometimes such meanings were in fact meaningless, they held no truth and were only spoken for the sake of aggravation. Though in even rarer times, there was truth rooted in the very ground of the meaning and that was what caused the aggravation. But what would a pirate know? Or: Royal prince Seonghwa who is first in line for the throne, finally meets the recently captured and most feared pirate in all the Seven Seas who has been condemned to death. Every year on the feast on the Ceremony of the Golden Rose, the crown prince is to take a rose dipped in gold to present to one special prisoner as a gift of freedom and a new start at life. This year is like no other, besides the fact that the great pirate king who infuriates Seonghwa to no end might end up shedding a new kind of light on the young and very adventurous prince, changing his views altogether.

HR said not to mix business with pleasure. Neither of them listened. - "Staring at the boss's office like that'll get you a raise," Wooyoung said, suddenly perched on the edge of Seonghwa's desk. "I was spacing out," Seonghwa lied easily. "You've got that matchmaking look in your eye again. Don't you dare try to fix him." -

The world had gone quiet when Seonghwa woke from his slumber. Prying himself off the uncomfortable hospital bed, many questions were raging through his mind as he tried to put things into place; what happened? Why was he all alone?

"Watch it Mr.Criminal, I may devote myself to saving lives but I'll gladly take yours." "Go ahead, bunny. I'm all yours." ---------------°•°---------------- Secrets were always meant to stay buried. Atleast that's what Seonghwa thought. ---------------°•°---------------- Acting upon his dispatch, Seonghwa never thought that he'd be dragged aboard the criminal life. Hongjoong, more commonly known as Monarch, had posed a threat to many. His unwavering threats, his commitment to his terrors and worst of all, his erotic behaviour all captured Seonghwa by surprise. A knife wound. A knife wound and suddenly all that Seonghwa thought was real, came tumbling down. A glance. A single glance and suddenly Hongjoong was obsessed. Gathering information, secrets and everything inbetween, he had managed to worm himself into the paramedic's life despite his consistent whining. And now, with haunting of his brother's death, Seonghwa is forced into hunting for the truth. Of course, Hongjoong was there too. So, with drunken whispers, faux truths, misplaced glances, and stalking footsteps, Seonghwa is forced to solve his past alongside his worst enemy, Hongjoong.

"you don't understand what it's like to be the leader. the pressure, the expectations-it's all on me." "but shutting us out isn't the answer." then, without warning, seonghwa closed the distance between them. his hands cupped hongjoong's face, and before either of them could think twice, their lips met in a fiery, desperate kiss. a seonghwa x hongjoong fiction

The Outlaws were supposed to die for what they did. Instead, they were sent to Facility 8, a psychiatric institution buried behind silence, concrete and sedation. A place design not to heal, but to break people. Inside, they find him. Seonghwa was already there, long before them, pale, precise and unnervingly calm. To The Outlaws, he looks like a victim, just another soul crushed by the government, but Facility 8 wasn't built to contain rebels, it was built to contain him. He could leave whenever he wants, but he doesn't. Because some monsters learn to stay in their cages.

[DISCONTINUED, NEVER FINISHED] "You should have killed me when you had the chance, Captain." "Trust me, Prince... I still might." ××××××× The second prince was supposed to be dead.

Seonghwa lives in the visuals of the world. His world is full of color, vibrancy, and taking everything in as it is. He takes every day as it is and just wants to make it through school to pursue his passion. His world is also silent, cold and isolating. Hongjoong lives in the world of the abstracts. His world is full of music, language and absorbing as much as possible while he can. He pushes through the ever changing obstacles ahead no matter what. His world is dark, blurred and getting smaller every year.

Kim Hongjoong isn't one of the most popular students at his school. Due to an old mishap, he's known for his clumsiness, which is why most people tend to overlook him. He enjoys spending time with his friends Yunho, Jongho and Yeosang while secretly watching Park Seonghwa, the star of the school. Hongjoong has crush on Seonghwa, but he's too shy to approach him directly, so instead, he leaves Lego roses and letters in his locker.
