Tae Shin is a simple boy with simple dreams, who likes to hide his half-forgotten past into the shadows of his low self-esteem. Kim JaeHwan is a sole heir to a gigantic multi-billion conglomerate, who likes to reminisce the ghosts of his happy childhood a little more than what is healthy.
Their childhood friendship was one that could be described by a pretty montage. Flashes of memories stuck in rose gold resin and sparkles. They held hands wherever they went, until life snatched Shin away and made him a shattered mess of the human he was. Only JaeHwan remembers the pretty parts; Shin is left with hollow nightmares of his childhood abuse and a crippling case of amnesia.
When fate places them together once again, in the elite school of Royal Boys High, JaeHwan's memories blur and fuse with his fantasies. Where he dreams of loving his lost childhood friend once again. Shin would remember him, wouldn't he?

"Belonging never meant freedom " // Taekook 18+
Description: > "He once loved him in silence. Now he's forced to be his husband." Kim Taehyung survived a past no one ever cared to ask about. Abused by a stepfather, abandoned by a mother who hated him for being gay, he learned early how to wear silence like armor. He built his life from the ground up - with dignity, distance, and a heart locked tight. Jeon Jungkook was the boy Taehyung admired in college - cold, unreachable, untouchable. Now a ruthless billionaire and CEO, Jungkook doesn't believe in love. He believes in owning what he wants. And what he wants... is Taehyung. When Taehyung is hired into Jungkook's company, their paths collide with dangerous intensity. Jungkook remembers him - remembers the way he looked, the way he felt in his presence. What he didn't notice then, he wants now. All of him. So Jungkook makes a move no one sees coming: a deal, a threat, a marriage. Not out of love. Out of obsession. But Taehyung isn't the same boy who once longed for affection. He has teeth now. Boundaries. Rage wrapped in elegance. And though his heart stirs again in Jungkook's presence, he refuses to surrender his self-respect - even as his husband wages a war of control, guilt, and desire. Because belonging never meant freedom. And love, when twisted by power, becomes a cage. --- ⚠️ Themes & Triggers (for readers): Toxic and manipulative relationship Power imbalance / forced proximity Past trauma (sexual abuse, emotional neglect) Slow burn healing and emotional growth Gay romance with dark, psychological tones

Golden Hearts & Hidden Treasures - J.JK
Two very different worlds are about to collide. Jungkook Jeon walks the halls with his head down and heart guarded. Home is a battlefield, and school is just another place to survive. He's quiet, observant, and haunted by a past that he doesn't talk about. His only constants are his boys-Seokjin, Taehyung, and Jimin-and the hope that maybe this year won't break him. Simone Smith is confident, sharp, and loyal to the core. With her ride-or-die girls-Kelly, Sienna, and Mercedes-by her side, she keeps her standards high and her walls higher. But behind the flawless edges and fierce attitude lies a heart that knows hurt too well. They weren't supposed to notice each other. But a glance in the cafeteria... A brush in the hallway... A name overheard... And suddenly, neither of them can shake the feeling that something's shifting.
