Crack Black [BxB] by K_M_Victor
38 parts Ongoing
Crack Black In the gritty alleys of a nameless city, fate throws together two boys from opposing worlds. Black, a hardened thug with a reputation to uphold, crosses paths with Tony, a rebellious "schoolboy" caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. When Black saves Tony from a brutal attack by street kids, an unlikely bond is forged. But this is no ordinary friendship. Beneath the bravado and casual insults, feelings begin to stir-confusing, forbidden, and unspoken. Neither is ready to risk everything by crossing the line, afraid of what the other might think, afraid of shattering the fragile connection they've built. As life throws them into chaos, loyalties will be tested, truths will surface, and emotions will rise like smoke in the night. Will Black's tough exterior crack, or will his need to protect his pride and masculinity keep him from something real? And what about Tony-will he break through the walls around Black's heart, or lose himself trying? In a world where love is dangerous and vulnerability is weakness, some bonds might be too risky to hold. Or maybe, they're the only ones worth fighting for. Most impressive rankings: #1 in Dangerous - Feb. 14, 2025.

Author(s) - 12호 Unfortunately, I was reincarnated as a nuisance character in a horror game. I have one goal. I need to find an escape gate to avoid the demons living in the abandoned hotel, but... "S-Sister... They say a monster has appeared. Are you going to leave me alone?" "Sister, what on earth are you looking for?" "I want to stay next to you." "Sister!" The final boss, who approached me pretending to be a child, never thinks of falling from me. [Holloway opens the door to check if you're there.] [Holloway breathes a sigh of relief after confirming that the 'comedian' is in good hands.] Evelin's eyebrows twitched as the system windows appeared one after another. "...Is he crazy?" Who is the comedian? Evelin thought she was raising Holloway that well. And she soon realizes that it was arrogance. "If you want, I'll even lick your feet." So don't get out of here, Evelin. Holloway kissed Evelin's knee. The eyes toward Evelin were filled with mad obsession. The one who was raised, was herself. (Not my story!!!! )

Will she ever forgive them for abandoning her? Will they ever be able to unveil her secrets? Where was she for all those years? This is story of a girl who was abandoned by her brothers when she was seven. Now, after 9 years, her brothers brought her back home. How will she deal with them, simultaneously dealing with the terrors that haunt her every night? Sneak Peak- Once we were out, I stopped and turned to face my blood relatives and said, "Okay, now that I am out you don't need to act anymore. Now, you guys can go back to your house and pretend that this never happened. I will go to my house and will make sure that we will not cross each other's path, even by accident." I was about to turn back when Ezekiel held my elbow, stopping me on my track. I immediately snatched my hand back glaring at him and said, "Do not ever touch me again." His eyes showed an emotion of hurt that I am sure I read incorrectly because one thing that Kensington brothers are incapable of was getting hurt by any outsider. And that was what I was. An outsider. Sensing the tension in the atmosphere Aldric took it upon himself to say whatever his brother was about to. "You are going with us." He spoke. One thing about Aldric Kensington was that once he has made his mind, there is nothing in this world that can change his decision. This is the very quality of his that made my life a living nightmare, and this is exactly why I hate him more than any of my brothers. "Let's go Athaliah," Ezekiel said this time. That name. No one has called me by that name in six years. "My name is Zahra," I corrected and continued, "And I am not going with you." #1 in pastabuse #1 in running on 2/2/25 #1 in babysister on 15/12/24 #1 in brothersconflict on 27/12/24 #2 in abandoned #2 in broken #2 in abusing #2 in nightterror #2 in brokenfamily #4 in olderbrother #5 in mafiaprincess #9 in siblings #34 in siblingrivalry #34 in littlesister #44 in ptsd #40 in misunderstood #59 in mafia
