"You're the one I should destroy," Da-on whispered, his voice low and conflicted, his hand still clutching hers.
"Then why haven't you?" she replied, a daring glint in her eyes, though fear pulsed beneath.
Being the sister of a demon was Aera's deepest secret, one she knew she'd carry alone-until Han Da-on entered her life. A man bound to justice, Da-on has spent years hunting the darkness, swearing to tear down every evil spirit that haunts the world. But Aera defies every instinct he's lived by, pulling him into a deadly game of shadows and secrets he's powerless to escape. Each encounter sharpens the thrill and the danger, his need to destroy her warring against an undeniable desire that could ruin them both.
As their worlds collide in a clash of forbidden longing and ancient vengeance, Aera and Da-on must face the hardest truth of all: their passion may be the very weapon that dooms them. When love and damnation are just one heartbeat apart, can they survive the darkness-or will it consume them whole?

Beneath the Surface
Asa Enami, a shy and diligent scholarship student from Japan, never imagined that her journey at Seoul University would be anything more than a path to academic success. But when she meets Chiquita, a flirtatious, rich, and effortlessly charming Thai girl, things quickly spiral out of Asa's control. Chiquita, famous for her playful demeanor and her longstanding infatuation with the campus queen, Ahyeon, finds herself in an unexpected challenge: a bet to make Asa fall for her. At first, Chiquita's intentions are clear-she's just following through on a wager to win Ahyeon's heart, using Asa as nothing more than a pawn in her game. But as the two spend more time together, the lines between friendship and something deeper blur. Asa, oblivious to Chiquita's true motives, begins to enjoy their budding connection, unaware of the playful deception hiding beneath Chiquita's teasing exterior.

What happens when two people, each with their own emotional baggage and secrets, find themselves tangled in the delicate web of attraction and deception? The deeper they go, the harder it is to tell whether what they feel is real-or just another illusion waiting to be shattered. Will Chiquita choose Asa or Ahyeon? Can Asa navigate her feelings without losing herself in the process? And when the truth finally comes to light, will their love be able to survive the storm?Complete

CAN YOU BELIEVE ME??
> "Some people enter your life like sunlight... and leave like a storm." South Korea's most disciplined lieutenant, Lee Hyun Jin, lives by three rules: 1. Never fail a mission. 2. Never break a promise. 3. Never let emotions become weakness. But everything shatters the day he meets Cha Daahi - a quiet, brilliant North Korean military doctor with a past sharp enough to cut through bone, and a heart soft enough to save the very person who might destroy her. She was supposed to be a file. A target. A mission. Until she became his home. And then... his biggest mistake. A bundle of false letters, a trap built on deception, and a plan created inside the walls of General Park Eun's corrupted empire push Daahi to leave Hyun Jin without a word - breaking something inside him that even war could never break. Now he's drowning in guilt he never earned, picking up pieces he never broke, begging fate for one more chance to hold the woman he was supposed to protect. But the border between them isn't just physical. It's emotional. It's political. It's deadly. And somewhere deep in the shadows, a new mission whispers: > "Destroy Lee Hyun Jin... and use Cha Daahi to do it." As secrets rise, bullets wait, and hearts bleed, Hyun Jin and Daahi are forced to ask the question that will decide their destinies: > Can you believe me... even when the whole world tells you not to? Because sometimes, love isn't a fairy tale. It's a war. _______________________________________________ I wrote this story with one belief in my heart - that boundaries mean nothing when feelings are built on trust, comfort, and quiet understanding. Sometimes love does not arrive as warmth; sometimes it comes cold, cautious, and anxious. But even the coldest hearts seek a place where they are allowed to rest. This is a story about people who choose each other not because they are fearless, but because they are honest about their fears.

Saori leaned closer, her bare skin brushing against his. Her lips hovered near his, so close he could feel the ghost of her breath, but she didn't kiss him. Not yet. Instead, she teased him, her hands weaving through his hair as she smirked, her voice dripping with mischief. "What's wrong, my king? Losing patience already?" His hands moved instinctively to her waist, gripping her as though grounding himself. "You're playing with fire, Saori," he growled, his voice low and edged with desperation. "Stop tormenting me. You're driving me insane." Her laughter was soft, melodic, and maddening. She leaned even closer, her lips brushing against his ear. "Good," she whispered. "Let the madness consume you. But not yet.
