What do you do when you're plagued with monsters of your past? You run away.
Choi beomgyu always does. Leaving Daegu, dropping out of art college in Daegu to run to Seoul...everything he does is inspired by the need to run away. Fight or flight and his default answer has always been to leave.
But now, he meets Kang Taehyun-a headstrong guy, one years his junior. He is stubborn, a bit childish and carries an air of risk everywhere he goes. He is everything Beomgyu isn't asking for, and yet he finds himself drawn to him. Will he be able to let go of the past and take a chance on whatever is budding between them?

Blood, Sweat, and Tears (BEOMJUN)
(Revamped) In a world frozen by winter and ravaged by a zombie outbreak, Choi Beomgyu is a man who knows how to survive-with a gun in his hand and a fire in his heart. But survival isn't what drives him. Love does. His boyfriend, Choi Yeonjun, was bitten in the chaos and turned into one of the infected. Yet Beomgyu refuses to accept the loss. He chains Yeonjun in the basement of their remote cabin, shielding him from the world-and the world from him. Every day, Beomgyu treks through the snow, hunting wild animals to keep Yeonjun fed, refusing to see a monster in the man he still loves. Hope keeps him going: the belief that a cure exists, that somehow, somewhere, Yeonjun can be saved. When wandering military patrols appear in the area, Beomgyu uses his survival skills and ruthlessness to his advantage. He lures them in-not to harm at first, but to question, to interrogate, to beg for any knowledge of a cure. Those who lie, threaten Yeonjun, or try to take him away... never leave the cabin again. As winter deepens and humanity grows colder, Beomgyu clings to one truth: love doesn't die, even if the body does. But as desperation grows and Yeonjun's condition worsens, the line between mercy and madness begins to blur. How far will one man go to save someone who no longer remembers him?Complete

Black Shadow | Yeonbin
The torrential downpour pounds relentlessly against the worn pavement, as if the heavens - if there is one, unleashes their wrath upon the deserted city. The dark alleys are now nothing more than murky rivers, flowing with the incessant rainfall. "You know what you have to do," Yeonjun says from somewhere behind him and Soobin sighs heavily, shakily. Does he really? His trembling fingers poise on the trigger, the weight of the decision now unbearable. He can't do this, it's not who he is. The distorted shape of the man disintegrates into mere shadows and half truths, as the line between good and evil blur into an indistinguishable gray. Time slows, stretching each second to an agonizing eternity. And without a second thought, Soobin pulls the trigger.Complete
Library || Soogyu
Two broken souls. One shared book. A silent story written between the lines. Soobin has lost too many people to fate. One by one, life has taken away those he loved most, leaving him stranded in his own silence. With every loss, the world grew colder. Now, even continuing his studies feels like a burden. He fears letting anyone in. Because what if they leave too? Beomgyu knows the ache of abandonment all too well. He has mastered the art of pushing people away. Years of betrayal and pain have taught him that trusting others only leads to heartbreak. He hides behind sarcasm and solitude, even from his own family. But beneath his guarded exterior lies a heart that aches to be held, to be understood. Beneath the armor lies a boy quietly aching-for connection, for someone who sees him. They meet in the most unexpected way. Not face to face, but through ink and paper. They meet without really meeting. Hidden notes left inside a forgotten book in the library become their safe place. Their thoughts spill like confessions, their fears echo back in replies. They become each other's secret diaries. Strangers who understand each other better than anyone else ever has. The library becomes their sanctuary. A quiet corner of the world where pain is poured out and understood. A home neither of them asked for. But one they now can't live without. But the heart doesn't stay hidden forever. Beomgyu longs to see the boy behind the letters. To know if the connection he feels is real. If the person on the other side of the page could be the one to finally stay. Will Soobin let him in? Will Beomgyu risk getting hurt again? Can two people so afraid of love find it in each other? In a world where everyone leaves, can two lonely souls find their way to each other? Or will their fears write the ending before their story even begins? "Library" is a slow-burn tale of healing, soft love, friendship, the quiet magic of being seen, in and finding home in the quietest places.Complete
