Love... Not Romance [BoyxBoy]
Everything started the night before we moved out of our town. I decided to take a late night swim at the lake I love the most. It was sort of a goodbye, a way to somehow wash the pain brought about by my parents' divorce, but then he appeared. As I was floating in the lake, watching the moon and the stars, I heard a noise in the water, and as I turned my head, I saw this guy drowning. I saved him, I brought him back to life, and then... I kissed him and fell in love with him. Things changed after that one stolen kiss. I ran away, and I never thought that I would see him once again, but I did. Little did I know that the moment we meet again, my life would never be the same. This is a story, of how I learn what love really is, of how I came to accept it, of how I came to fight for it. This is not a story about romance. It's way more than that. This is a story where love, family, and little bit of mystery collides. This is a story about my love.Complete
Is it safe to just be who we are? - SaintShin
English isn't my first language so I apologize for any mistakes🥹the translator sometimes gets the pronouns wrong, as soon as I can I will correct the story properly Saint and Shin have known each other since they were little and attended elementary and middle school together. In high school they chose two different paths, Saint the hotel management and Shin the linguistics. However, despite this, even if they didn't see each other in class every day as they used to do, their relationship never changed. They went to each other's house very often, or went out together from time to time, not every day, but they always kept in touch. Their friendship, however, undergoes a change when, at the age of 17, they have a bad fight, which separates them forever. Their paths cross again seven years later, at the age of 24, 25 for Saint because he has already turned 25, with both of them working as bodyguards. Shin is assigned to protect an influential political figure, and the reason why he chose this path is actually to find out what really happened to his mother, involved in the explosion of a shopping mall, which also caused the death of other people. He doesn't believe that it was an accident. While Saint works as a bodyguard for a famous actor who actually has a double life and is investigating the incident at the mall. Saint and Shin, without realizing it, will find themselves fighting with the same goal: to find out what really happened that day at the mall. And who knows, between one thing and another, maybe that feeling that completely distances itself from the word friendship will explode between them...Complete

Above Water ✔️
Thomas needed a vacation, but that didn't mean he wanted one. His best friend convinced him to come down to his family's beach house for the summer to unwind, to relax for once. Thomas wasn't swayed easily, but he found himself on a flight to Florida regardless, albeit begrudgingly. Thomas intended to mope around for the three months, drink away his problems, and maybe get a tan in the process. However, his plans were thwarted when an unwanted houseguest from his past arrived the day after his getting there, leaving a bitter tang on the entire "vacation." Not to mention, Thomas was forced to share what he thought was his room with his best friend's wife's ridiculously handsome brother, Dallas. Thomas was on the cusp of drowning in the first week. Relaxation wasn't even on the agenda. He just had to try to keep his head above water.Complete

The Silent Host (boyxboy OHSHC)
Cover by siimplyisaac Words. Everyone takes them for granted, using them non-stop, screaming them, laughing them, blurting them. But what about when they're dying? Are they strong enough to scream out their last words? To laugh out their final sentence? To blurt out the last thing people will remember of them? Your dying words mean everything. It's what people remember you saying last and it shouldn't be something stupid which if you get used to saying stupid things, I believe you won't have any control of what you say when you die. So words are valuable, and I, James Hunter, won't waste them. Of course I'll speak when it's important but I don't think I'll speak for anything other than that. But I'm dying and I don't want to be, but the choice isn't mine to make. My body- my heart has made up its mind, I'm going to die, I just have to accepting it. And if I'm going to die, I want to be remembered, I want them to visible see my face, feel my touch and hear my voice from my final hours of living. I want my family to know everything I've been holding in and I want my friends to remember me as strong. So what I'm going to die? Everyone does at one point. I'll just die sooner than expected and medication won't do anything to stop it, only postpone it and I don't want it postponed, when I'm ready... I'm ready and I want my heart to be on the same page as I am.Complete
Ocean's Descent ||| Woosan (Ateez)
Water. It can be powerful and devastating, destroying everything in its path. The ultimate killer. Or it can be calm, soothing, and gentle, something that symbolized peace and life. Much like love. It can destroy lives and make them stronger. And this time, water is what starts a love that can be so strong, nothing will break it. Or it will implode, and destroy everything around it. For San, a human who is just trying to get through life, he never expected to learn that magic was real. He is sucked into a world he used to dream of as a little boy and finds out it is a lot more dangerous than he ever imagined. For Wooyoung, a merman who loves adventure and is fascinated by humans, he learns that not everything is as it seems and he could end up destroying everything important to him. Will their love stand the test of time? Or be destroyed with the next wave that crashes into the sand? 07/11/22 ~~ #1 in WoosanComplete
