Seokmin never liked loose ends. He liked order. Rules. Control. But Joshua Hong? He came out of nowhere and left the same way. One minute he was there - all polite smiles, gentle voice, soft sweaters and blueberry muffins. The next, he was gone. No explanations. No notes. No fucking goodbye. And no one knew anything. Not where he went. Not where he stayed. Not why Seokmin couldn't stop thinking about him.He wasn't supposed to care. He was supposed to hate him - And then that one night - the fight. The truth. The way Joshua's eyes went cold. Where he acted like they were strangers. "You don't know a damn thing about me, Seokmin." He was right. Seokmin never did.Now all he had were questions - and a growing ache in his chest that felt too close to guilt- He was supposed to be the easy one. The soft one. The safe one. So why did it feel like Joshua was the most dangerous thing he'd ever touched?

"And what was the thing about... getting me pregnant? What was that supposed to mean?" "Hyung, don't act like you didn't get it! Even I understood!" "I really don't get it. Is it a metaphor? Because it is not possible." "I can show you, If you want." - Joshua finally gets the explanation about Seokmin's nose, and Seokmin explains what people mean by getting Joshua pregnant.

"You know nothing about me, and act like it!" "No one gets to love me, no one.... and you don't too" Joshua snaps, voice louder and shaky. "And what makes you think that I don't ?" "No way I'm leaving you. Not after you showed me how it feels to keep loving you, now you are stuck with me" Seokmin replys, voice calm, bold with a smile. "Maybe forever" | Your's In Devotion |

Joshua is sharp-tongued, a little rude, and fiercely independent - yet beneath his pride and biting remarks lies a heart that can't help caring for those he loves. Seokmin is equally strong-willed, snarky, and a masterful tease, but his charm hides a protective, unwavering devotion. When these two alphas collide, sparks fly. Tension-filled encounters and playful clashes gradually give way to a bond neither can ignore. Enigma x Alpha AU

Lee Seokmin, an energetic and kind-hearted university student, finds himself falling deeply for Joshua Hong, a reserved and gentle senior. Joshua, who has always carried an air of mystery, begins to reciprocate Seokmin's affection, and the two quickly become close. However, just as their relationship starts to blossom, Joshua begins to distance himself. Unbeknownst to Seokmin, Joshua has been diagnosed with a terminal illness; an ailment that he has been silently battling. Joshua, who is uncertain about his future, fears burdening Seokmin with the uncertainty of his condition. Though deeply in love, he begins to push Seokmin away, thinking it's for the best. Seokmin, confused and hurt by Joshua's sudden coldness, refuses to give up. He notices the cracks in Joshua's armor and becomes determined to understand what's going on. As he uncovers the truth about Joshua's illness, Seokmin faces the heart-wrenching decision of whether to stay by Joshua's side, despite the unknowns, or let him go.

Joshua didn't understand when it happened, but he was happy that it did. Being left alone at his own wedding, and to save him the embarrassment when his father asked for the brown-haired smiley man to marry Joshua, Joshua didn't like it. He wanted to go back home and end himself, but he didn't, and he's glad that he didn't. That's how he met Lee Seokmin, his husband, the love of his life. The man who loves him more than anything, who is ready to pluck out the stars from the sky if Joshua asked him to. The man who brings him flowers, who kisses him as if he's the only man he wants to kiss. The man who Joshua loves.

Joshua wasn't against the arranged marriage; he and Seokmin had been friends at one point until something happened with their families. The problem- Seokmin wasn't the sunshine he used to be anymore; taking up the CEO position dissolved it out of him, and Joshua wishes for it to come back every passing day. An arranged contract marriage between a sweetheart Professor and a cold CEO.
