Malum | Hyunjsung | Chanlix
Hyunjin + Han Han Jisung keeps his fears locked behind careful routines, but anxiety claws at him in quiet, relentless ways. Hyunjin moves through the world with effortless confidence, yet beneath the surface, temptation and obsession twist his nights into restless chaos. They meet in a place meant for broken pieces to be shared-anonymously, carefully, without judgment-but even here, masks slip, and raw edges scrape against each other. In stolen glances and half-spoken words, they recognize something dangerous and familiar in the other: vulnerability wrapped in talent, pride veiled by fragility. Their connection grows in the spaces no one else sees-where panic collides with desire, and secrets threaten to unravel. This is a story about craving, control, and the fragile line between dependence and surrender. Addiction does not arrive politely. It seeps through the cracks of your body first, invisible and patient, curling around nerves and pulses until it feels like a part of you. You do not notice when it takes its first hold; one moment you think you are choosing, and the next, it is choosing for you. It wraps around the mind, soft and tender at first, then tightening, relentless, a shadow that moves with every thought, every breath. It is seductive and suffocating, a hunger that speaks in whispers, coaxing compliance, demanding surrender, testing your pride and will. To resist is to feel your own fragility, to yield is to feel your own dissolution. And when you try to reclaim yourself, it fights back-every heartbeat, every emotion, every desire becomes a battlefield. Some call it weakness; some call it fate. But it is neither. It is life, in its rawest, cruelest gravity, and to face it is to face yourself. This book is fiction!Complete
Submit (Book 1, The Karyln Trials)
*Completed* We are only a number... How would you feel if when you were born, your whole life was set in front of you? If how you were treated was all dependent on where in the year you were born? Well, welcome to Karyln, formerly known as the United States before World War three and four. In Karyln, parents try to plan pregnancies to end right around the first of the year because when you're born decides how the rest of your life will be. The first boy and girl born gets the number one, they are projected to receive the best life possible. The next boy and girl get the number two, and I think it's pretty easy to guess how the rest goes. The only thing standing between the elite society and their perfect lives, is The Trial. Every year, on the first of June, everybody who has or is having their eighteenth birthday joins. It's a race to the finish line in teams of four and you could either become a higher or lower number depending on when you reach the end. This was created in hope to give those with lower numbers a chance to climb up the ranks. The Trial then developed into more. Pairs of boys and girls with numbers one through thirty live, while the others with numbers of thirty-one and beyond are purged to maintain population control. Oh how our country loves to dig bigger holes for itself. My name is Adaline Grace, and I'm number twenty-two. ~~~~~~~~~~ Awards: 1st Place in The Creative Awards (Third Edition) 1st Place in The Astrologist Awards 2020 2nd Place in The Unknown Writers AwardsComplete
