He was chaos. She was sarcasm. Neither of them expected to care.
Fréya "Réya" Thompson is a sharp-tongued music journalist with a grunge aesthetic and zero patience for fame-chasing artists. Joost Klein is a Dutch musician who thrives on chaos and controversy. When her latest article about him goes unexpectedly viral, Joost slides into her DMs - and refuses to leave.
What starts as a hate-fueled professional exchange slowly spirals into something dangerously personal.
Long-distance. Late-night messages. Too much honesty.
This wasn't supposed to feel real.
Written from Réya's POV.
Slow burn. Enemies-ish to something else.

The love he rented
Joong has two problems. One: His ex-boyfriend is marrying his cousin. Two: His grandma will hand the family empire to said cousin unless Joong proves he's in a serious relationship. Naturally, the solution is to hire a fake boyfriend. Enter Dunk: barista, blunt-tongued, gorgeous, and alarmingly good at kissing like he means it. Joong expected this to be business-only. A few hand-holds, some couple selfies, pretend-giggling. No feelings. No... moaning in expensive bathrooms. But Dunk is too calm, too honest, too firm with those hands and that voice. And Joong? Joong's forgetting this is fake. Especially when Dunk says things like: "If we're going to sell it, we better kiss again. Practice, right?" A fake relationship. A nosy family. One wedding, endless sexual tension, and a hundred chances to fall stupidly in love. Warning: May contain intense hand-holding, emotionally blunt tops, closet makeouts, surprise orgasms, and one (1) very betrayed cat.Complete

Throughout her life, she has perfected the skill of manipulating others. As an agent, betrayal comes naturally, and falling for the enemy is a mistake she cannot afford to make. Her mission is clear: infiltrate the empire of a notorious Mafia kingpin, gather the evidence needed to bring him down, and walk away unscathed. For years, she has remained focused, cold, and untouchable-until she encounters him. Jeon Jungkook. The Mafia leader- feared by many, respected by all, and trusted by none. Not only is he ruthless, but he is also calculated, commanding, and far more dangerous than her superiors warned. Ruthless in his pursuit of power and unyielding in his control, he has built an empire that few dare to challenge. However, when she steps into his world-a woman as sharp-tongued as she is enigmatic-he begins to feel the first cracks in his armour. Her lies are flawless, her gaze defiant, and her presence intoxicating. As they engage in a perilous dance of power and passion, their worlds start to unravel. She was sent to betray him, but his touch ignites a fire that threatens to dismantle her carefully constructed facade. He vowed never to trust anyone, yet the spark in her eyes tempts him to break all his rules. When the truth is revealed, betrayal cuts deeper than any bullet. Enemies close in, and their fragile connection is tested as they are forced to choose between love and survival. In the end, will they destroy each other-or the enemies who threaten to tear them apart?

BLACK DOOR & BLOOMING HEART
🌹🗝️ Dating Is Easy When You're the Only Option A dark romantic comedy of obsession, isolation, and very inconvenient feelings. Joong doesn't believe in love. At least, not the kind that lasts. He's witty, bitter, and perpetually three emotional breakdowns from deleting all his dating apps. So when he jokingly writes in his profile, "Just kidnap me already. I'm tired." he thinks he's being sarcastic. Dunk doesn't do sarcasm. He does plans. Blueprints. Strategies. Eternal, undying devotion. When he matches with Joong, it's not a swipe-it's a promise. One candlelit date and a spiked glass of wine later, Joong wakes up in a secluded villa, tucked in velvet sheets, with his new boyfriend smiling sweetly at him from the doorway. "You said you wanted to stop looking. So I made sure you wouldn't have to." There's no signal. No Wi-Fi. No exit. Only gourmet meals, endless compliments, and a boyfriend who quotes Joong's tweets back to him from memory. As days melt into nights, Joong can't decide what's worse: being trapped by a psycho... or realizing he kind of, maybe, likes it.Complete
