⚠️ May contain mature language & content*** From an outsider's perspective, South Korea is a beautiful, wealthy country - a national leader in economic and resource development. But, behind every successfully run country there are secret organizations and powerful people that govern it. The country would simply crumble without the leadership and wealth of two of the richest families in Korea: The Parks and the Jeons. These two families run the two largest corporate companies in South Korea and have the potential to rule all of Asia with their combined resources; however, they have been sworn enemies for the past three decades. The Parks control the East side of Seoul while the Jeons occupy the west - any trespassing into enemy territory is punishable by death. The Parks have monopolized the electricity, food and mining industry whereas the Jeons have strict control over the technology, retail, gas and oil industry. At the surface level, the Parks and Jeons run respectable, multi-million-dollar companies, but underneath it all, both sides have underground organizations (AKA gangs) that do their "dirty work". The leadership of these gangs could only be entrusted to the sons and heirs to their family companies: Park Jimin and Jeon Jungkook. Although Jimin and Jungkook despise each other just as much as their fathers, they had always kept their distance and blatantly ignored each other's groups. However, the firm boundaries these families worked so hard to enforce begin to blur as Jeon Jungkook finds himself falling in love with Park Jimin's sister, Park Chaeyoung. #SerendipityAwards

Formerly titled Butterfly ~~~ When former reporter Melody Tsushima was sentenced to twenty months in prison, she hadn't expected to be sent to Versailles. Cooking soups and planting daffodils, after all, was strange. But all par for the course at the so-called "Palace at Versailles," an old mansion equal parts prison and psychiatric ward for incarcerated young adults. And Melody certainly hadn't expected her own special assignment: to write the stories of her fellow patients.  A girl who truly knows what it means to be different. A young woman with wounds that run far deeper than skin. A boy whose heart is much too big for his damaged body. A young woman who sees the world as it could be, not as it is. A boy with too many souls living in him. A boy with universes in his mind.  All of them are unique, and all of their stories will change Melody.  // Note: this story was formerly a completed story in the fanfiction category. This version has been rewritten to be original fiction. Due to the request of readers, the previous story chapters have been unpublished, rather than deleted.
