Seventeen-year-old Winter Chu has seen it all. Shrivelling sleep schedules, diets, his picture perfect mentor's booger, a fat zero in maths. You name it, he has seen it. Or that's what he likes to believe.
Exactly why Winter cannot fathom how he failed to see how he could go from walking shoulder to shoulder with his best friend - scratch that, his ex-best friend - on the busy streets of Seoul while playfully burlesquing their mentor to running away from said best friend in the span of a single day. Or, how on the same day, he ended up moving in with three other kids who were as confused as him in a dorm that was whipped out by the mentor he had just burlesqued.
Fast forward two years and Winter has made countless decisions in the span of it, some good and some equally bad. Bad being: completely erasing Liu Xuejun, his ex-best friend and everything that had to do with him from his life.
So when Xuejun, now a rising star, slips back into his messy life from the shadows of busking crowds and in old sauna rooms, Winter has no choice but to go with the slippery flow. Even when his own debut is right around the corner. Even when his heart beats the wrong way for Xuejun every single time. Even when he knows none of this is a good idea.
Listen, dreams are tricky things. But you know what, so are friendships.

All The Ways, They Guard Him
After waking up from a two-year coma, Suho's biggest problem isn't lost time. It's that they're in college now, and Yeon Sieun is stupidly popular, constantly admired, and still completely unaware that Suho's been in love with him since forever. Sieun, the Cold Princess of the Law Department, is calm, unreadable, and perfectly fine pretending his clingy, jealous best friend isn't falling apart beside him. He never says much, but he always lets Suho stay close... maybe a little too close. And Suho? He's spiraling. Every admirer, every glance, every silence hits hard. But what makes it even worse is the gang - a group of loud, chaotic friends who may mock Suho's jealousy, fuel Sieun's fanclub, and record emotional meltdowns for fun, but will absolutely throw hands if anyone dares mess with their princess. Somewhere between the teasing, tension, sleep-deprived nights, and quiet moments that almost mean more, something real is unfolding. It's fluffy, romantic, painful , and soft in all the wrong places. It's a mess. It's love. It's loyalty with a side of emotional chaos - and somehow, it's everything they need. A Cold Princess. His loyal guard dogs. And absolutely zero emotional stability.
In the birds' nest • woosan
[complete] "My little birds deserve only the best" it's with a promise that it starts: a promise of safety against the violence of the world, the hunger, the loneliness and the poverty. Just like a little bird, as long as you stay in The Nest nothing from outside will hurt you and Wooyoung belives it. But what to do when the most scary monsters come from the inside? Who will protect you then? "For a moment, San just stood there, watching him. In the dim light, Wooyoung looked peaceful, a stark contrast to the chaotic energy he had been radiating at the club just hours before. But as San gazed at him, a shadow of unease crossed his mind. San wondered if he was trying to drown out something, bury it under layers of noise and intoxication. It was in the way Wooyoung's smile never quite reached his eyes, the way his laughter sometimes faltered, as though the weight of whatever haunted him was too heavy to ignore, even for a moment. He didn't know what Wooyoung was running from, but he could feel the darkness lurking beneath the surface, the shadows of whatever had hurt him. San wanted to help, to reach out, but tonight wasn't the time. For now, all he could do was make sure Wooyoung was safe and comfortable." • ☾ 21+ content, this is the angstest story I've ever written and it contains very triggering topics as self-harm, sexual abuse, underage, physical and psychological violence.

My fake boyfriend | VMIN
The year he was fifteen, Park Jimin realized he was gay, and that he fell in love with a hot guy the same gender he was! Jimin spied on the other's online friend group, payed attention to that person's every move, and privately, started his fanatical fanboying actions. Unfortunately, the hot guy he liked was someone who changed girlfriends like he changed clothes, a pretentious and straight male. A few years later, Jimin and the hot guy he was secretly in love with got into the same university and became good friends. In order to prevent his beloved from hating him, Jimin repressed his true feelings and forced himself to pretend to be a 24k, pure gold straight guy. ...... Having high-spec looks, Kim Taehyung was a networking expert, but in order to preserve his all-around shining and popular hearthrob image, he always hid his true sexuality, that he was gay. He got himself (fake) girlfriends all throughout school, literally playing himself into being branded as a skirt-chaser. Until one day, he met his true love. The other looked delicate and gentle, cold and out-of-reach, as if the ideal lover he'd dreamed of in his heart. Except, there was just one thing. That guy also looked completely straight...... In short, this is the love story of two scared, in-the-closet gay guys pretending to be straight while mutually trying to feel the other out.Complete

Illicit Fire
#book II in Fire Series They say to never remember the past that broke you, but for Choi Mingyu, the past was not a burden to forget, but a relentless, burning obsession. His scars, etched deep into his skin and soul, were the brutal, stark reminders of the tyrant he had become. He craved nothing less than to watch the world burn-a pyre ignited solely for his vengeance, his name whispered in fear across continents. Ruthless, cunning, and a self-proclaimed blood-hungry monster, Mingyu lived his truth as a darkness incarnate, his existence a meticulously crafted system built on absolute control and calculated destruction. He commanded, and the world obeyed. Then, into his carefully constructed darkness, crashed Jeon Wonwoo, the Solace. Wonwoo, possessing a deceptive purity and an untamed, independent soul, was an artist whose brushstrokes wove vibrant hues into the lives of others. His soul-soothing paintings were a balm to weary spirits, yet even this beacon of light was tethered to a history that refused to release its grip, its lingering shadows making him tragically vulnerable and deeply afraid. What unholy obsession will unfold when the man who thrives on absolute control-the Obsidian King who demands every facet of existence bend to his will-becomes utterly consumed by a free bird who only wants to soar without fear? This is not romance; this is a destructive collision where possession is the highest form of worship, and the lines between desire and devastation are erased entirely, threatening to shatter the Solace for good. releasing on 15/11/2025
