He held the rose, so I crushed the garden. Mingyu had everything-fame, glory, and a future lined in gold. But the day he lost on the field, he also saw something he couldn't unsee Wonwoo, his rose. Beautiful. Untouched. Unforgivable. but already of somebody, his rival. What began as obsession turned into a twisted game of control. Wonwoo was stolen, ruined, and left to shatter before the world. But from the wreckage, a new war begins-one between hatred, survival... and a love that should never exist.

In a world that called betas a flaw in nature-useless, disposable, wrong-Wonwoo survived by making himself smaller. He buried his name, dimmed his presence, and escaped the slaughter of his village only to live half-seen in another. Survival was possible. Being wanted was not. Then Mingyu arrived and looked at him as if he were neither mistake nor burden-but someone worth choosing. He spoke Wonwoo's name like it belonged in the open air. He stood beside him without hesitation, without shame. And for the first time, Wonwoo felt something far more dangerous than fear: the certainty of being seen, of being wanted for who he was.

"I wish I could have spent a lifetime with you..." he whispered, his voice trembling slightly. His hands reached out slowly toward the other. They brushed Mingyu's face, caressing his injured skin with tender care. He wanted to lift away every wound, every ounce of pain. Mingyu flinched at the touch. Wonwoo's skin held no warmth; his hand was as light as a feather, as cold as night, carrying the message of death itself. "I love you, Mingyu." Wonwoo murmured it with a gentle, heartfelt smile. He looked at Mingyu one last time; his eyes held regret, love, and a silent farewell. For a moment, everything went silent, and time seemed to stand still. Then... The gunshot tore through the darkness.

Mingyu and Wonwoo know each other since childhood. Growing up together in the same neighbourhood, they become best friends. Day changing month. Month changing year. One fall for another. But, the other one is the opposite. A story which Wonwoo fall for his best friend but Mingyu has a heart for someone else. "I like you but you like her. I'll let you go now. There's no point in fighting for it. Moreover, I've no place in your heart, right?"

BOOK #3 He's like a storm-unpredictable and dangerous. I knew he was a sick bastard when he smiled after I hit him the first time. Annoying and obsessive, that's what he is.

But it's not that simple. My brothers are monsters. They'll kill him. And still, he doesn't care. ---- Glasses perched on his nose, calm and collected. Exactly my type. I knew he was meant to be mine the moment our eyes locked, that intense gaze pulling me in. And I'll have him, no matter what it takes-by any means necessary, even if it costs me everything.
