[Completed] Seonghwa's life is a mess - a mix of reckless choices, controlling family, and self-destructive tendencies. The last thing he needs is Hongjoong, his one-night stand turned bodyguard, following his every move. [YOUTH out now - Yunho's story parallel to this]

Park Seonghwa, a brand new professor hoping to reignite the flow of his artistic passion, enters into life at a college teaching an advanced painting class. Upon beginning his new job, while also dealing with unforeseen life changes, Seonghwa began to truly feel the weight of how much of a workload he was taking on. Staying after-hours to paint acted as a means to get his spark back, but just as the stress began to be too much, an unknown melody began to float down the halls of the quiet campus, filling Seonghwa to the brim with a passion he thought he was losing. Little did he realize just who had been behind the sounds of a melody that began to become his muse. ╰┈➤ **ᴛʜɪꜱ ɪꜱ ᴀʟꜱᴏ ᴘᴏꜱᴛᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ᴍʏ ᴀ03 @ ᴍᴏʀᴇᴛʜᴀɴᴍʏᴏᴡɴ** ╰┈➤ 𝟭𝟴+ 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗲𝘀!

A sheltered, delicate ballerina raised to be perfect, graceful, ethereal, adored. But Seonghwa wants none of it. He destroys himself in quiet ways, pushing his body to the brink, starving the beauty out of himself, trying to be too ugly, too hollow, too unapproachable, anything to be seen for his talent rather than his face. And then there's Hongjoong. An underground fighter who was never given a chance at perfection, a man hardened by violence and survival. When their worlds collide, he swears to ruin Seonghwa, to break him the way the world once broke him. But the more he tries, the more he finds himself unable to let go. Because Seonghwa, in all his self-destruction, is the most beautiful thing he's ever seen. Top Kim Hongjoong, Bottom Park Seonghwa

Park Seonghwa, once the cherished mate of a high-ranking Dragon Prince, faces a brutal end when he fails to deliver the golden dragon heir. Every tendon in his body torn apart, he dies a horrific death- but the gods, moved by his plight, grant him a second chance. Transported back to a time before his tragedy unfolded, Seonghwa is determined to rewrite his fate, protect himself, and perhaps exact revenge on those who betrayed him. But this time, he won't leave things to chance. If a golden heir is what they demand, then a golden heir is what he'll give them- even if it means sleeping with the Dragon King himself.

Hongjoong. Seonghwa. Two quite contrasting individuals. Hongjoong hates Seonghwa, the smartass. Seonghwa hates Hongjoong, the pessimistic prick. Unfortunate circumstances bring the two together.

Seonghwa is annoyed with all the noise coming from the apartment under him so he goes down to complain. He didn't realize that the man would be so captivating or that he would get invited in... Or that he would be influenced to drink or that he would end up in his neighbors bed.

hongjoong truly never intended for this to happen. for better or for worse. PLEASE CHECK STORY CONTENT WARNINGS BEFORE READING.
