Mingyu was an F1 racer-fast, fearless, and devastatingly good at what he did. He loved his job with a devotion that left no room for anything else. After a breakup that tore something irreplaceable out of his chest, his interest in love dropped to zero. The person he had given his heart to was never his fate, and once that truth settled in, Mingyu stopped chasing love altogether. He didn't believe in it anymore. His once-luxurious life, filled with excess and distractions, slowly shrank into something smaller, sharper, and more controlled-his career. The track became his world. Speed was the only thing that made sense. Until- Jeon Wonwoo happened. A nerd, by his own admission, and a reporter assigned to the very world Mingyu ruled. Wonwoo stood on the sidelines with a press badge around his neck, asking questions after races, observing racers who lived their lives at two hundred miles per hour. He wasn't supposed to fall for one of them. He definitely wasn't supposed to fall for Mingyu. But he did. Wonwoo fell in love with a man who barely spared him a glance-at least, not yet.

The Altar's Runaway He was promised to a god. He ran into a devil instead. Hong Joshua was born to kneel--raised in the glittering chokehold of power, promised since childhood to Choi Seungcheol, heir to the empire that owns half the nation and all of its shadows. Theirs was a union written in contracts and sealed in blood, a marriage meant to merge kingdoms and bury him alive in silk. But the night before the vows, Joshua runs. Barefoot, breathless, a saint turned sinner beneath the moonlight. He trades his surname for a sin, his destiny for a dirt road, and crashes straight into the man who shouldn't exist--Lee Seokmin. A biker with a past that smells like gasoline and gunfire. A man who helps people disappear for a price and keeps his heart locked behind the roar of an engine. Joshua offers him money. Seokmin offers him a way out. But somewhere between forged passports and stolen motel rooms, the lines blur--between safety and obsession, between hunger and ruin. Because Seokmin doesn't want to save him. He wants to keep him. And maybe Joshua doesn't want to be saved at all.

Prince Wonwoo of the East Kingdom has lived his entire life behind a carefully crafted lie. To the world, he is a quiet, distant beta prince, unremarkable, obedient, and easily overshadowed by his beloved younger brother. But in truth, Wonwoo is an omega, his instincts and nature suppressed day after day through painful injections and strict control. The palace that raised him is not a home, but a gilded cage built to hide what he was never allowed to be. When a royal wedding brings all four kingdoms together, Wonwoo is forced out of the shadows and into a hall filled with powerful alphas, watchful eyes, and dangerous possibilities. His only role is to stand quietly, to be invisible, to remain undiscovered. He does not expect anything more, especially not the return of someone from his past. Prince Mingyu of the North Kingdom has waited ten long years for this moment. Once, Wonwoo was his closest companion, the calm presence that steadied his wild heart. When Wonwoo disappeared without explanation, Mingyu never stopped yearning for him. Now grown into a dominant alpha admired by all, Mingyu attends the wedding under pressure to find a suitable match but his heart has never belonged to anyone except the quiet "beta" prince he never forgot. What happens when a dominant alpha finally realizes that the "beta" he has loved for years is actually an omega? When suppressed instincts awaken, buried truths surface, and desire collides with fear, control, and duty, everything changes. In a world where one discovery could destroy a life, this story unfolds in stolen glances, aching restraint, and a love that threatens to break every rule. Because once the truth is revealed, neither of them will ever be the same.

"Do I have to work with him?" "Unfortunately, yes. Terms and conditions." Jeon Wonwoo is sharp-tongued, sarcastic, and not afraid to roll his eyes at the absurdities of office life. He'd rather keep his head down and get through the day with minimal nonsense-but life has other plans. Enter Kim Mingyu: cold, distant, and annoyingly good at his job. He's the type of coworker who makes everyone nervous just by walking into the room-and the type Wonwoo can't seem to stop getting stuck with. Their partnership is anything but smooth. Wonwoo's biting remarks clash with Mingyu's icy silence, turning every meeting into a battle of wills. But between deadlines, late-night projects, and the thin line between hate and something dangerously close to attraction, the tension between them grows harder to ignore. See how sarcasm meets cold indifference-and how their story unfolds in Terms and Conditions.

Kim Mingyu and Jeon Wonwoo were never meant to get along. In high school, Mingyu was the charming golden Alpha-the popular basketball ace with the world at his feet. Wonwoo was the quiet storm-the top student, the student council president, the one person Mingyu could never outshine. They clashed in the hallways, competed in every class, and pretended not to notice how their dreams secretly aligned. Both wanted to act. Both wanted the world. Neither wanted each other. But one trip after graduation shattered everything they thought they knew. Heat. Rut. A night they never planned... and a bond they never asked for. Wonwoo remembers every second. Mingyu remembers nothing. So Wonwoo disappears-overseas, running from the truth and the Alpha who might destroy him without even knowing why. Two years pass. Mingyu convinces himself Wonwoo left because he hated him-because their rivalry finally snapped the thin thread binding them. But fate doesn't care what they want. When Wonwoo returns to Korea, their company tie them together in a contract marriage neither of them asked for. Enemies. Actors. Fated mates. And now... husbands. Stuck under the same roof, old wounds burn, chemistry sparks like fire catching air, and the secret of that night threatens to tear everything apart-again. Because love was never their problem. Admitting it was.
