𝐀𝐥𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫... 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐲𝐛𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬. In which Jake takes on one tutoring job and accidentally lets Lee Heeseung into a life that was never meant to have him in it. There are rules. Don't get distracted. Don't get attached. And absolutely do not start making exceptions. Unfortunately, Heeseung seems determined to turn every rule into a suggestion. What follows is a collection of questionable decisions, familiar footsteps, forgotten umbrellas, remembered coffees, and a few moments neither of them will know what to do with. Some things have a way of becoming important before you realise they've begun. Maybe that's what makes 𝒂𝒍𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 so dangerous. It gives you just enough to believe something could last. A person becomes a habit. A habit becomes a place. And before you know it, you can't remember what your life looked like before they were in it. But almost is strange. It isn't nothing. It isn't everything, either. Sometimes, almost is the moment before something changes. Sometimes, it's the closest two people ever get to forever. 𝐀𝐥𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫. Maybe that's the tragedy. Maybe that's the beauty. Or maybe... we've misunderstood almost all along.

She was not like other girls - instead, she was very timid, shy, and quiet, with a heart as pure as holy water. She grew up in a family of five, where every day she saw her father hurting and torturing her mother without any reason. Watching this pain at home, Sakshi slowly lost all her dreams about marriage and love. To her, marriage was not something beautiful - it was something to fear. One day, without asking for her opinion or even telling anyone else, her father fixed her marriage with a man a few years older than her. Hearing this, Sakshi felt her world fall apart. Fear gripped her heart - what if her future husband turned out just like her father? What if her life became another cage of pain and sadness? Terrified and helpless, Sakshi stands at the edge of a new life she never asked for. What will happen to her now? Will her husband bring her happiness, or will history repeat itself?

Lee Heeseung x Sim Jaehyun Started : 19.4.2022 Ended : 20.7.2022

In the world of blood and power, mercy is a weakness. Lee Heeseung is the ruthless heir of the Lee mafia empire - a man built on vengeance. His family was slaughtered. His childhood was buried with them. And he has only one purpose left: To destroy the Sim family - slowly, painfully, completely. Sim Jaeyun was never meant for this world. He doesn't know how to pull a trigger. He flinches at raised voices. And the sound of gunfire feels like a nightmare he never wakes from. Raised in a mansion built on violence, Jaeyun lives as a ghost - unwanted by his father, hidden from the world, protected only by his grandmother and a small puppy who is his last comfort. He is everything the mafia despises - soft, emotional, breakable. A single mistake drags them into the same room. One is a king of the underworld. The other is a boy who should have never been there. Heeseung comes to extract information. Instead, he finds a trembling stranger who doesn't look like a criminal - but like someone already destroyed. And for the first time, the man who shows no mercy hesitates. Because something about this boy doesn't make sense. The Sim heir Heeseung remembers was a monster. So who is this broken boy lying at his feet? And why does sparing him feel more dangerous than pulling the trigger? Because some truths are deadlier than bullets. And some enemies were never meant to be touched.

Jake is just a background model, but he'll do anything to be in the spotlight. 𝐀𝐧𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠. Heeseung, possessive and controlling, takes interest in Jake's drive. A toxic HEEJAKE FF

𝐉𝐚𝐤𝐞 is a rising star who lives in the spotlight soft, kind, and watched. But one pair of eyes sees too much. As admiration turns into obsession, the line between protection and control begins to blur... and Jake may already be too close to escape. ₊ ˚ ﹒ 𝜗˚̣̣̣℘ ྀི࿐ ༢ ݁ᛪ༙﹒˚ ₊ !𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬! -𝟏𝟖+ (𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐲 𝐒𝐦𝐮𝐭) - Stalking / Obsession - Yandere behavior -Psychological manipulation -Invasion of privacy -Anxiety / paranoia -A collab piece- --- 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝: 𝟒/𝟏𝟖/𝟐𝟔 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝: 𝟒/𝟐𝟗/𝟐𝟔 - #𝟏 𝐇𝐞𝐞𝐣𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝟎𝟓/𝟐/𝟐𝟔 ₊ ˚ ﹒ 𝜗˚̣̣̣℘ ྀི࿐ ༢ ݁ᛪ༙﹒˚ ₊

The crown prince was supposed to be a terrifying beast. Unfortunately for the kingdom, Jake Sim is an idiot. When a curse turns Crown Prince Heeseung into a giant monster every night, everyone is terrified of him. Everyone except Jake. A stable boy whose first reaction to meeting a giant cursed beast is: "Wow. You're pretty." Now Heeseung spends his nights being brushed like a horse, emotionally manipulated by a sixteen-year-old, and slowly falling in love while Jake accidentally trips over every object in the kingdom. Featuring: • a cursed prince with severe Jake-related problems • a stable boy with absolutely no survival instincts • a cancelled wedding • one heartbroken ice prince named Sunghoon • a goat that should have been a cow • an oak tree that witnessed far too much • enough emotional damage to traumatize a priest forever A story about love, curses, terrible decisions, finding home, and proving that true love's kiss can apparently fix everything. Except Jake's relationship with gravity.

Lee Heeseung just wanted a quiet bus ride. Unfortunately, Jake also takes the bus. Every morning, Jake arrives three seconds before death, argues that cereal is soup, befriends pigeons, loses at least one important item, and somehow ends up asleep on Heeseung's shoulder. Every morning, Heeseung pretends to read the same page of the same novel while internally planning a wedding, twenty-eight hypothetical children, and whether their future goldfish should have health insurance. One loud public-school boy. One elegant private-school heir. A story about expensive blazers, ruined shoulders, random kisses, emotional catastrophes disguised as good manners... ...and the world's most suspiciously romantic bus route.

An arranged marriage binds 18-year-old Jake to Lee Heeseung, the cold, enigmatic heir to a powerful chaebol family. What begins as a distant, loveless union slowly unravels into a delicate slow burn. As Heeseung quietly wages a war of revenge against the people who raised him, Jake starts to see beyond the cold façade, uncovering the broken inner child who never truly knew love. But just as their hearts begin to align, the looming shadow of divorce threatens to tear it all apart...
