A rainy afternoon led Ember Green, an artist with long, jet-black hair, to a cafe where he encountered Leo Yoosung, a man with brushed-back blonde hair and an unsettling intensity. Their first meeting, a terse exchange over a borrowed chair, set the stage for a series of increasingly strained encounters.
Ember, focused on his art, found Leo's hushed tone and actions and the subtle air of danger distracting. Leo, conversely, seemed to enjoy needling Ember about his "gloomy" artwork. Their paths continued to cross-at art supply stores, late-night diners-each time solidifying their mutual annoyance. Yet, beneath the friction, an unspoken curiosity began to brew.
One evening, a literal collision outside a gallery sent Ember to the ground. For once, the usual barbs were replaced by an uncharacteristic offer from Leo to make amends. That night, over lukewarm coffee, they spoke more openly, glimpses of their true selves breaking through. Ember saw a burdened man; Leo was captivated by Ember's fiery passion.
Leo found himself undeniably drawn to Ember, rearranging his life for fleeting moments near him. He'd fallen, hard. But Ember, wary of Leo's dangerous world and the possessiveness he sensed, held back. The intense connection was undeniable, yet fear lingered. Could Leo's relentless pursuit, his deep love, convince Ember to reciprocate a love as profound as his love for him?

Silent Chains
The tale begins in the bustling, impoverished streets of Hanyang, where Yohan, a mute commoner, live among the forgotten and forsaken. The air is thick with the stench of decay and despair, a stark contrast to the grandeur of the royal palace that looms in the distance. Yohan, however, are a ghost in this city, unseen by most, but his defiance is palpable. Despite Yohan's silence, his eyes speak volumes-sharp, calculating, and burning with a fire that no one, not even the oppressive government, can extinguish. Emperor Yi Hwan, a man consumed by power and cruelty, never intended to take notice of someone like Yohan. His world is one of iron-fisted rule and heartless decisions, yet Yohan's defiant gaze as he endure punishment for a crime he didn't commit, sparks something in him. When he sees Yohan kneeling before the magistrate, not begging for mercy but glaring back at those who seek to break him, Yi Hwan is taken aback. Intrigued and unsettled by Yohan's silence and the strength that radiates from his battered form, he makes a decision that will bind them both in ways they cannot yet imagine. He buys Yohan, not as a man would buy a slave, but as a possession to bend and break. Yohan's body, bruised and broken, is now under his control, but the emperor soon learns that there is something more dangerous than defiance-an unwilling heart, a soul he cannot crush. The story unfolds as Yi Hwan attempts to dominate and silence Yohan, but Yohan's resistance, Yohan's silence, and Yohan's unyielding spirit draw him closer, even as it pushes Yohan both toward a tragic and destructive love.

3 Fridays
"On that first Friday, I cursed fate and berated the gods. Why did fate always toy with me so? Why had we not met earlier? Why must I have become a dying man when our paths crossed with one another? On that second Friday, I questioned fate and the tale it had woven for me. What was the purpose of our meeting if we were going to part soon? What did it want me to experience, if not grief and regret? But on that third Friday, I understood fate at last and thanked it from the bottom of my heart.
