In a city where power is everything, the Park family stands at the top, but beneath their empire lies a web of secrets and hidden desires. Jay, the flawless heir, has just secured his place with an advantageous marriage, but not even his perfect life can shield him from betrayal-especially when it comes from those closest to him. His younger brother, Sunghoon, a shadow in the family, has spent years being overlooked, but now, he's ready to take control, using his sharp mind and the dangerous affections of Jay's wife, Sooah, to his advantage.
In the midst of this power struggle, Jiae, a quiet girl with a mysterious past, finds herself in Sunghoon's orbit after he saves her from a brutal encounter. But as Jiae is drawn deeper into their world of lies and ambitions, she must navigate her own survival while uncovering the dark truths surrounding the Park family.
With betrayal lurking behind every smile, who will rise to claim the throne, and who will be destroyed in the process?

Not Yet Broken||heejake࣪ ⟡
Jake Sim has always been the bright one-the boy with the easy smile, the one who never lets anything bring him down. Ever since middle school, he's had Heeseung by his side, and in high school, their friend group grew-Jungwon, Jay, Sunoo, Ni-Ki, and Sunghoon. They were inseparable. Or at least, they thought they were. But something changed. Jake started pulling away. His usual warmth faded, replaced by distant smiles and tired eyes. He barely spoke to anyone except Jay, and even then, something wasn't right. Nobody knew why. Nobody knew what was happening behind closed doors-why bruises appeared on his skin, why his laughter felt forced, why he came to school looking more exhausted each day. Something was wrong. And whatever it was... it was bad. As his friends struggle to figure out the truth, Jake is running out of time. Because some pain doesn't just fade away-some pain leaves scars, ones that no one else can see. ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨ـ♡ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨ـ -🏅#1 in heejake

(A VERY LONG NOVEL) Jay Park's life shatters the night he comes home to find his parents murdered in cold blood. Before he can process the loss, a deadly shootout forces him into the arms of Heeseung-an elite secret agent with orders to keep him alive at all costs. To protect Jay from the shadowy organization hunting him, the agency crafts the perfect cover: Jay and Heeseung must go undercover as newlyweds in a quiet town, living as husbands in a life neither of them chose. What begins as a mission of survival turns into something far more complicated. Between stolen glances, late-night arguments, and the illusion of a shared home, the line between duty and desire begins to blur. But as secrets about Jay's parents surface-and the killers draw closer-one question remains: Are they only pretending, or is there something real beneath the lies?

But what starts as casual teasing and a growing obsession quickly turns into something far more complicated.

As their worlds collide, Sunoo struggles to maintain his independence in the face of Sunghoon's overwhelming presence. While he values his quiet, peaceful life and his career as a cosmetologist, he can't ignore the pull of Sunghoon's affection-or the tension that sparks between them every time they cross paths. What happens when their unspoken attraction finally comes to light? And will Sunghoon's obsession prove to be more than Sunoo can handle, or will their undeniable chemistry set their hearts ablaze?Complete
