Kim Rok Soo, age 36, was, in his opinion, nothing special. There wasn't really anything that made him "special", other than, of course, his Tragic Past™️, which honestly wasn't even that tragic, in the grand scheme of things. Sure, he was intelligent, and worked hard, but plenty of people were like him. Kim Rok Soo tended to be overshadowed by those he worked with, no matter how much effort he put into everything he did.
To put it bluntly, Kim Rok Soo, age 36, was sick and tired of life.
This was what was the main instigator for him deciding to listen to his coworker and play the romance game "Birth of the Soulmate's Hero".
Kim Rok Soo didn't have any real obsession or connection with any of the characters; after all, it was a game, it was fictional, and Kim Rok Soo was what he'd consider pragmatic. Though it was true that he enjoyed the game and the world building, as well as the characters' scripts, he wasn't delusional. He knew they weren't real, and he was okay with that.
But when he opened his eyes one Monday morning, he found himself in a very fancy room that was very much not his own.

"And maybe in the end, I was meant to be alone." Once upon a time, I had 8 soulmates. "You never really see how toxic people can be until you breathe fresher air." But I rejected them...

Enchanted to Meet You✔️
Kim Taejun, a successful CEO in his late 20s, had always been consumed by his work.. His ambition and drive left little room for anything else, especially matters of the heart.. Over the years, he'd grown used to the idea of not needing love, convincing himself that it was something he could do without.. On the other hand, there was Min Jiya, a bright, youthful soul still in her adolescence, who harboured feelings far deeper than admiration for the CEO.. What she felt for him went beyond a mere crush; it was a tender, aching love that filled her heart with longing.. She yearned to be noticed, to be cherished by the man who seemed so distant and unreachable.. For her, this love was everything, and she dreamed of feeling his warmth, even if just once, before her world faded away... But what will happen when a reserved, mature man who has closed off his heart to love learns that a young, spirited girl has been quietly adoring him all along? Will his heart, so carefully guarded, be moved by her innocent affection, or will he remain distant, untouched by the love she so desperately wishes to give? Will he open his heart to her love and embrace it, or will he cling to his old ways, keeping his feelings hidden away? Jiya believes that he isn't truly against romance-he just hasn't found the right person to unlock the depths of his affection and care.. She will help him to see that love was always there, waiting for the right moment, the right person, to bring it to life.. This is a story of pure love and unwavering devotion, where hearts find their way to each other, no matter how long it takes.. . .

Hyung and Dongsaeng.
[Complete!] "Aigoo..." "..." "What did you do this time Cale?" A dramatic gasp came out from the redhead's mouth, looking at the teen with widened eyes, an offended look and a hand on his chest. The teen sighed. Kim Rok Soo isn't one to get mad at a simple thing and Cale knows this too. He's just worried about Cale since he always find ways to uphold his "Trash" title or in another term, finding ways to hurt himself even more. Kim Rok Soo enjoys the redhead's company as much as his two annoying hyungs. Not that he'll admit it though, but he can't accept that Cale is maintaining his title for no good reason. Kim Rok Soo needs a reason. If Cale is insecure about it then Rok Soo just needs to break down his walls and make him feel okay. Letting out another sigh. Kim Rok Soo placed his hand on Cale's shoulder making the redhead look at him questioningly. "Cale, I am your Hyung, such as you are my Dongsaeng. And it's a Hyung's job to look after his troublesome Dongsaeng." "So instead of hiding the problem and make it worse, it's better to let it out and talk to someone about it." Upon hearing this Cale flinched a bit but regained his composure and hesitantly asked Rok Soo. "Then..." "...Can I talk to you about it?" A rare soft smile made it's way to Rok Soo's face. "Sure." _______ Hi! Hello! This is my first fic so pls be easy with me. (ಥ_ಥ) Do note that there's curses and swear words. This fic doesn't contain romance, so sorry shippers, as the title suggests, it's a Hyung and Dongsaeng Relationship- (ㆆ_ㆆ) Pls- Ignore the cover Ik it's bad but I tried (ಥ_ಥ) I don't own the fanart, it belongs to their rightful owners. Thank you Vara_User-nim! for letting me take inspiration on your fic in ao3! Anyways happy reading :DComplete
