Summary
“Politics is a dangerous game and no one at this court can be trusted. That’s why I need someone to watch my back for me who I can trust unconditionally. Someone without personal ties to anyone in power, no hidden loyalties. And I believe you fulfil those criteria.”
The realization struck Seonghwa with clarity. He had been chosen because he was an outsider, someone who would only be Hongjoong’s. His lack of pedigree, the very thing that had made him feel unworthy, had been his strength.
When emperor Hongjoong is targeted in a coup, his personal guard Seonghwa gets framed for the crime and thrown into prison. He manages to escape, but his life is nothing like it used to be. Seonghwa is pulled into a net of political intrigue and treachery, all the while desperately trying to uncover the truth behind the alleged death of his beloved emperor.

Summary
Seonghwa met Hongjoong at a low point in his life. He didn't want to resort to using a tutor, but it got to the point where it would be cheaper to pay for one than to repeat his statistics class for the third time. Luckily for him, Hongjoong is patient and kind and determined to help Seonghwa learn. He knows exactly what the other alpha needs, even before Seonghwa does.
Seonghwa feels safe and comfortable with Hongjoong and it's with him that he can actually let go of the turmoil that surrounds him about his subgender. He hates being an alpha, and he's not a good alpha anyway, but Hongjoong never says anything to remind him of this. He never puts much weight on subgender.
With Hongjoong, Seonghwa can just be Seonghwa.

Summary
New MCs announced for Inkigayo: Park Seonghwa and ATEEZ Kim Hongjoong
Before Seonghwa even meets Kim Hongjoong, he knows what to expect: a young idol, full of passion and enthusiasm for the industry, stars in his eyes at the prospect of getting to work with a senior of Seonghwa’s magnitude. He’s seen it all before. They all get tired of this at some point. Even Seonghwa—especially Seonghwa.
What Seonghwa doesn’t expect is that this eager, wide-eyed puppy that he spends so much time with has a different side to him too. Kim Hongjoong is the leader, after all—the Captain of ATEEZ—and that side of him may just be exactly what Seonghwa needs to relax, let go and perhaps fall in love with music and performing all over again.

Summary
Instinct makes Seonghwa press himself low to the snow. He snarls, trying to make the poacher drop the rod and run.
But the tall one moves faster than expected, diving for the gun with a desperate grunt. Seonghwa twists toward him, but the pipe-wielding man swings wildly, forcing him to sidestep.
The delay is fatal.
The gun's muzzle flashes in the dim light as the tall one pulls the trigger without hesitation.

Hongjoong's hand jerks, he's on his feet before conscious thought catches up with the sound his ears have heard, knocking over his chair as he lunges for the gun cabinet.
A gunshot, here, on a federally protected mountain, in the middle of winter, was impossible. There was no hunting allowed. The only firearm for miles was locked in his own cabinet, untouched for months.
He only has one thought, Seonghwa.Bookmarked by aetheric

Summary
Seonghwa's coven of witches have lived peacefully for decades - until one stormy night, when a strange man appears in his shop, covered in blood and on the run from a rival coven of dark magic witches. By taking him in, Seonghwa has no idea how much danger he's not only placing himself in, but the other members of his coven as well, until it might be too late.
But some people are worth risking everything for.
