THE PLACE UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT Republish © besixdouze (prodtaejun) 2022 EXCERPT: Choi Beomgyu, proclaimed Best Rookie Actor upon debut, was a mess. His shirt was covered in red paste, far from any props and planned outfit; truthfully from the tteokbokki he smuggled on set when he should have eaten lunch prior to his arrival. Unlike fierce looks and sweet smiles, Soobin sees a scowl on the actor's face. It reminded him of Angry Birds, but he held back from saying that out loud. SYNOPSIS: Soobin casts Beomgyu for a series he's producing and directing, but they're not exactly great at working together without arguing.Complete
THE WRONG BRIDE -Rewritten
Jeonghan has spent his life being second-second son, second choice, second to love. So when the man he loves chooses his twin instead, Jeonghan decides he will never be overlooked again. In a world ruled by bloodlines and instinct, he forces a marriage that was never meant to be his. Seungcheol belongs to him now-by law, by name, by bond. But possession is not love. And vengeance does not quiet old wounds. As buried trauma, family rivalry, and dangerous desire collide, Jeonghan must confront a truth far more terrifying than rejection- Sometimes the greatest threat to love is not the world. It's the one who refuses to let go.

Yoon Jeonghan, a kindergarten teacher, has nothing but love and warmth to give. He is a light that can illuminate so brightly that it can end the darkness. Choi Seungcheol, a billionaire CEO, who hates everything and everyone. He only knows to use his power to snatch what he wants. He is the epitome of darkness that can swallow all the light around him.

Joshua Hong rules one of the most feared underground syndicates in Canada with a cold head, steady hands, and a reputation built on blood, loyalty, and impossible victories, while Yoon Jeonghan survives the brutal streets as an undefeated fighter whose beauty constantly fools people into underestimating the danger hiding behind his smile. When Joshua and his right-hand man, Seungcheol, witness Jeonghan taking down five armed men in a back-alley brawl, they offer him a place within their organization, but the stubborn omega refuses without hesitation because he has spent his entire life answering to nobody except himself. Joshua is not a man accustomed to hearing the word no, and Jeonghan is not the kind of omega willing to bow his head to an alpha no matter how powerful he may be, creating a rivalry fueled by sharp words, mutual distrust, and a growing fascination neither of them wants to acknowledge. As gang wars spread across the city, betrayals emerge from within trusted ranks, and old enemies begin hunting them both, the two men are forced into an uneasy alliance where every mission tests their patience, their pride, and the dangerous connection slowly forming between them. In a world ruled by crime syndicates, hidden loyalties, and the brutal hierarchy of alphas and omegas, survival demands sacrifices that neither Joshua nor Jeonghan are prepared to make, yet walking away may cost them even more. What begins as hatred forged in violence slowly transforms into something neither of them expected, because sometimes the deadliest men are not destroyed by bullets or knives, but by the terrifying realization that they have finally found someone worth falling in love with. -𝑬𝒏𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔. -𝑺𝒍𝒐𝒘 𝑩𝒖𝒓𝒏. -𝑬𝒙𝒑𝒍𝒊𝒄𝒊𝒕 𝑳𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒖𝒂𝒈𝒆. -𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝑳𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒖𝒂𝒈𝒆. -𝑺𝒆𝒙𝒖𝒂𝒍 𝑻𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏. -𝑴
