CHECKMATE In a world ruled from the shadows, power is a game-and every move has consequences. The Angels Syndicate governs the continent like a chessboard. Each member is a piece. Each role is fixed. And at the center of it all sits the King : Yoon Jeonghan, beautiful, ruthless, and untouchable. When Lee Seokmin eliminates the King's Knight, he expects execution. Instead, he is promoted. Thrust into a world of luxury, violence, and unspoken rules, Seokmin must learn to survive as the King's new Knight-protecting the Syndicate's interests while navigating a court where loyalty is fragile and betrayal is inevitable. But among all the pieces surrounding the throne, one captures his attention more than the rest. The Bishop. Masked. Silent. Unnamed. Always watching. Seokmin's curiosity turns into obsession. Who is he beneath the mask? Meanwhile, Joshua, Jeonghan's hidden brother, has lived his entire life in the King's shadow. Never clever enough. Never perfect enough. Always compared-and always found lacking. Until the arrival of Seokmin changes everything. By someway, he ends up spending the night with him. One night, one forbidden connection, and Joshua's carefully controlled world begins to unravel. As bodies fall and secrets surface, lines blur between duty and desire, loyalty and treason. Identities fracture. Masks crack. In a game where every piece is expendable, the question is no longer who will win- But who will survive the endgame. Checkmate is a dark, character-driven story of power, obsession, identity, and love born in the midst of murder and betrayal-where the most dangerous move is falling for the wrong person. ------- #1 - #topseokmin - 01/05/2026

Joshua Hong leaves behind everything he's built-his career, his home, the security he once clung to-in pursuit of the past he can't seem to forget. Seeking closure from a childhood shrouded in unanswered questions, he embarks on a journey that promises more than just forgotten memories. Unbeknownst to Joshua, the past he's chasing has become intertwined with a darker, predatory world- one where secrets thrive in the shadows, and he might find himself more prey than seeker. Each step draws him deeper, closer to a truth that could unravel him, and a dangerous connection waiting to claim him.

Chaos and destruction. Two things Lee Seokmin despised more than anything. He thrived on control, on order, on things falling exactly into place. But everything unraveled the moment he laid eyes on him-his new husband. The brother of the man who was supposed to marry him. Joshua. "I know you hate pineapple, so I made sure to eat a lot. Imagine if we kissed right now... You might die," Joshua's voice was sweet, but the mischief in his eyes was undeniable as he leaned closer, his smirk dangerous. Seokmin's jaw tightened. No one could hear them, not their bickering, not their hate, and most importantly, not the way Seokmin's dead heart seemed to stir back to life. He hated chaos, but Joshua was chaos. And now, he was stuck with him. How was he supposed to navigate a life of perfect control with a husband who thrived on disorder? Would they ruin each other? Or was falling together inevitable?

BOOK #2 They say love heals scars, but Seokmin's scars were lessons-bitter reminders that twisted him into a creature of darkness. His life was a series of brutal lessons that shaped him into someone who burns with an unquenchable fire. Protecting his brother-in-law's assistant was both his best and worst decision, a choice that bound him to Joshua in ways he could never escape. Joshua was his-body, mind, and soul. His to break, reshape, and claim. No one could alter that, not Joshua, not even Seokmin himself. Seokmin's voice was low, his breath hot against Joshua's skin as he spoke, "I've never craved anyone as much as I crave you." Joshua's eyes were wet with fear as he tried to pull away. "You don't love me. You're just obsessed. Let me go." Seokmin's grip tightened as he leaned in, pressing his lips to Joshua's in a kiss both tender and demanding. "I'll let you go," he whispered against Joshua's lips, "but only when my soul is ripped from this body. And even then, who knows? Maybe we're bound beyond this life."

When he goes to Italy to fulfill his mother's dying wish... Only for a psycho mafia boss to become obsessed with him. The follow story contains dark themes such as murder, torture, kidnapping, abuse and explicit sexual activity. Reader discretion is advised.

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.
