In the bustling city of Seoul, where Hong Joshua, a successful businessman with a sharp mind and a penchant for planning every detail of his life, found himself at a crossroads after a marriage arrangement. But Joshua, ever the pragmatist, wasn't convinced he needed love to complete his life's blueprint. That was until his parents introduced him to Lee Seokmin, a young man with a heart of gold and a smile that could light up a room. Seokmin, with his innocent and childlike nature, had grown up shielded from the harsh realities of the world by his loving family. His pure heart and genuine kindness had made him beloved to others, but at the same time his naivety often left him vulnerable to the cruelties of the world. Despite this, Seokmin's spirit remained unbroken, and his optimism was infectious. When Joshua and Seokmin's paths crossed, their worlds collided in unexpected ways. Joshua, with his methodical approach to life, was drawn to Seokmin's warmth and sincerity, even as he struggled to understand the young man's unbridled enthusiasm and idealism. Seokmin, on the other hand, was captivated by Joshua's confidence and ambition, though he sometimes found himself perplexed by the older man's serious demeanor. As they embarked on their arranged marriage, both Joshua and Seokmin were forced to confront their differences and adapt to a new way of living together. Would Joshua's practicality and Seokmin's innocence complement each other, or would their contrasting natures tear them apart?

An alpha who can't scent any omega, not even his fated mate. Emotionless. Untouchable. Broken. When their worlds collide, it starts with danger and ends in obsession. Joshua wants love. Seokmin wants control. But fate doesn't ask for permission. As heats burn and ruts rage, secrets unfold-of bloodlines, betrayal, and bonds too powerful to deny. Love was never meant to bloom in the dark... but what if that's exactly where it thrives? In this dark omegaverse romance, desire is deadly, love is forbidden, and fate is a fire they may not survive.

Lee Seokmin was 24, an omega registered as a beta, and the head of Strategic Finance in a company run by alphas who never questioned what didn't concern them. He made sure of that. Every morning started with a suppressant. Every medical record said "beta." He worked harder, stayed later, never gave anyone a reason to look closer. It wasn't safety-it was survival. And then there was Joshua Hong. The CEO. An alpha who noticed things others didn't. He never said a word, but Seokmin had seen it-the way his eyes lingered that day Seokmin's scent slipped past the suppressant. Just once. Joshua didn't say anything. He just watched. And Seokmin kept working like nothing happened. But secrets don't last forever. Now the company knows. The lie has cracked. And the only thing louder than the scent he no longer hides is the silence that follows him through every hallway. Still, Seokmin walks tall. Omega or not, he's earned every step.

Seokmin Lee, a rich, hot, and straight-A student, is dragged by his friends to get wasted as a celebration for accomplishing another year of University. What if Seokmin flings off with a pretty guy who was none other than his Professor?

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?

Having a secret crush is simple. Just keep it a secret right? But what if the New guy hears about it and threatens to spill? Hi I'm Soekmin and I have this huge crush on Jeonghan and yeah he's also my bestfriend for 10 years already. Will I be able to keep it from him when the New Student from abroad threatens to tell him my secret?

**Crimson Obsession** Obsession cuts deeper than any knife-and some scars never fade. He watches him like a shadow. And Seokmin never looks back. **Joshua Hong** smokes in alleyways, runs fingers over blood-stained case files, and smiles when someone mentions the name **Lee Seokmin**. "You think he's a monster?"* he whispers, lips curled. "Monsters don't make me feel like this." Across the city, **Seokmin** moves like smoke-cold, elegant, and brutal. He doesn't remember faces. He doesn't leave loose ends. But lately, someone's always there. Watching. Closer than breath. *"Someone's following you."* *"Then let them die trying."* Two men. One doesn't know he's being hunted. The other doesn't know he's already been touched. And in the quiet between violence and memory- something dark is beginning to ache. Crimson Obsession: You don't fall in love with a Monster. You bleed for him, Beautifully.
