Loving her was easy. Fixing her was impossible.
Joshua Hong never expected to marry a stranger-let alone a Carat who had spent years loving him from afar. But behind her soft smiles and gentle eyes, she carries the weight of a broken past, the scars of a love that betrayed her, and walls so high that even his warmth struggles to reach her.
He's patient, kind, and willing to wait. But when love isn't enough to erase the pain, will she let him in-or let her shattered past destroy them both?
💔 "You don't have to love me, but at least let me stay."
🪽 "I don't know how to love without breaking."

But in a cruel game of love and betrayal... who's the one truly breaking?Concluida
Far From The Same ~Joshua Hong~
They were supposed to be together. They were meant to be together. But he was too late. Now, he watches from the sidelines, but will it last? ••••••• "You need to back off, Joshua. She is mine. She fell for me. I won, you lost. I don't want you near her again. Got it?" Joshua scoffed. "You knew exactly what you were doing when you went after her. You knew how much I cared for her and liked her. You took her from me. I was going to ask her out, but then you came in." Joong-Ki chuckled. "And now you get to watch from the sidelines. I'll make sure to send a wedding invitation. Now, get out." ••••••• Joshua AUConcluida

You Feel Like Home | Scoups & y/n
- You Your marriage with Seungcheol had always been the kind people envied - laughter in the kitchen, soft kisses in the morning, late-night talks in bed. You were his calm, and he was your protector. But even the strongest walls can crack. - Choi Seungcheol She was a colleague. A pretty one. Persistent. She found him when he was at his weakest - schedules clashing, emotional distance building between you two like fog. It started innocently: late-night work, venting, laughter that should've been saved for you. Then... it crossed a line. He didn't sleep with her. But he lied. He hid. He let her into a space that used to be yours alone. And you found out. It wasn't dramatic - no yelling, no things thrown. You just looked at him, with eyes that had once held so much trust, and said: "You didn't have to cheat to break my heart." He cried. Begged. Said it was nothing. But you packed your things. Moved out. You weren't divorcing. But you were done trying to hold it together alone.Concluida

"Marry me." Her breath caught, the words slicing through her chest. "Wh-what? You can't be serious-" "I wasn't asking, YN," Jungkook's voice was steel. "You have to marry me." She shook her head, anger flaring. "You can't force me! I'm not marrying you-" His gaze darkened. "Not even for your family? Not even if I destroy your father's business?" The ground slipped beneath her feet. "Why? Why would you do this?" And then came the answer that ruined her. "Because I love you." A marriage born out of power. A love sharpened by obsession.
