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

Wicked Games •~•~ SJY 18+
He was her nightmare. Until he became the one she couldn't stop dreaming about. Jake Sim is rich, ruthless, and dangerously charming-the kind of boy your parents warn you about. At Crestview University, he's untouchable. Alongside his equally toxic trio-Heeseung, Jay, and Sunghoon-he parties hard, rides faster, and ruins hearts without a second thought. Y/n? She's the outlier. Quiet, book-smart, and completely uninterested in Jake's ego-or his games. Which makes her his favorite target. He teases her mercilessly. Pulls her close just to push her away. He likes watching her squirm beneath his gaze, flinch at his taunts, falter when he invades her space. But when a moment of weakness turns into a kiss she should've never allowed, everything spirals. Now his teasing feels different-his hands linger, his eyes darken, and his mouth whispers things she can't un-hear. Rough kisses behind locked doors. Late-night rides on his motorcycle. A bedroom no one's supposed to see. Jake wants her-but refuses to admit it. So he touches without meaning to care. And she keeps falling... even when it hurts. Her friends-Jungwon, Sunoo, and Niki-see the warning signs. But it's hard to walk away when the boy you hate is the only one who can make you feel this alive. He's cruel. She's stubborn. But in the dark... they both break. And once the games start, it's only a matter of time before someone gets burned.Complete
