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.

Summary
“Don't play dumb.”
Hongjoong’s mouth snaps shut, completely stunned. He frowns disapproving and shakes his head again. “I just wanted to help, you know,” the DJ says, his voice carrying a hint of disappointment with it.
“And like I said before,” Seonghwa stretches his words, trying to make a point. “We have security for that.”
“Come on, we both know I did you a favor kicking that man out,” the smaller man counters, crossing his arms as well.
“Stop acting like that,” the dancer answers and rolls his eyes. “You are the DJ, not a damn hero.”
At that Hongjoong lets out a long sigh. His arms fall down, shoulders sagging. He accepts defeat and looks at the ground for a moment, before his eyes find the others again. In his stare is a new emotion forming. Aversion.
“You make it very hard to like you, Park Seonghwa,” Hongjoong scoffs.
“Fuck you, Kim Hongjoong,” Seonghwa spits back.

Summary
It’s happened enough times by now that it feels like a running joke. Seonghwa throws out a complaint about never being praised properly. Hongjoong meets it with an easy grin and just enough teasing in his tone to keep it from tipping into anything serious. The members laugh, the staff laughs too, and the moment passes like it always does.
And afterward, Seonghwa leaves everything exactly as it is. He straightens his posture, gathers whatever dignity remains, and pretends—very convincingly, he thinks—that he has absolutely no deeper emotional investment in the situation whatsoever.
Seonghwa tells himself he is above fishing for compliments. This belief lasts right up until Hongjoong is the one withholding them.

Summary
Mingi doesn’t think of himself as a low-ranked alpha, he knows he is one.
On top of that, he’s in love with another alpha and, even worse, that alpha happens to be his best friend, Jeong Yunho.
He knows he’s doomed to wait for the day Yunho decides to mate with an omega and leave him behind with a broken heart.
So, sad and drunk after another party where it’s always the same, him standing off to the side, watching Yunho just being Yunho, he collapses on a dark street and thinks he can’t possibly sink any lower in life than he feels right then.
That’s when Jung Wooyoung shows up, a chaotic, loud, and friendly omega who takes care of him. Mingi thinks he’s the closest thing to an angel some deity might ever send his way, even though Wooyoung is actually the closest thing to a demon he’ll ever meet.
Wooyoung, sad and abandoned by people he once thought were his friends, betrayed because he’s naïve and likes to trust people, finds that huge alpha sobbing and his little heart just can’t bear to leave him there alone.
From then on, everything goes downhill. Or, well, uphill, but no one can take the drama out of Mingi.

Summary
“How did you get this?”
The voice comes from directly beside him and a fingertip brushes softly against the side of his neck. Seonghwa jumps violently, his heart practically launching into his throat as he spins around. Hongjoong stands close, too close, brows drawn together deeply as he gently traces one visible mark with his finger on Seonghwa's bruised throat.
“It’s nothing,” Seonghwa says immediately, a little too fast and a little too defensive as he yanks the hoodie over his head in a rush.
“Seonghwa.”

Summary
“No, no,” he hears Jeonghan say. “You know who the worst couple in the group would be? Seungkwan and Chan.”
There’s muffled yelling that Chan can’t decipher and then Jeonghan continues. “I think that after just one-week Seungkwan would’ve resorted to throttling Chan in public and they would break up after two.”
“That is not true,” Seungkwan hisses.
“It’s not!” Chan hisses back.
“We could totally date!”
“We could!”
“And we wouldn’t break up in two weeks!”
“We wouldn’t!”
“They don’t know us,” Seungkwan says, still keeping his voice low.
“No, they don’t!”
“We have to prove them wrong.”
or
Seungkwan and Chan feel the need to prove to their friends that they would be a good couple, despite the fact that they don't have feelings for each other. But it turns into something much bigger than either of them anticipated.

Summary
“Was that line about me?” Seungkwan had to ask, and Hansol and Jihoon both collapsed into laughter. Then he remembered the mockingly emotional expression Chan had used to say the line. Seungkwan almost felt like he’d been slapped. “Wait. Is this whole song supposed to be about me?”
“Boo Seungkwan diss track!” Hansol exclaimed in excitement, slamming his hand against the table. “You’ve officially made it, man!”
A "clapback" isn't as fun as Twitter makes it seem, but when indie artist Lee Chan releases a whole diss track that's seemingly about Seungkwan, what's he supposed to do, not respond? But the tweet gets too much attention, and now top idol Boo Seungkwan, responsible for his clean and cute image, has to do some damage control. His PR manager is telling him that he has to convince the public that he and Chan are best friends, so any online arguing can be written off as friendly banter, despite the fact that he's never actually met Chan before. Surprisingly—though reluctantly—Chan agrees to help.

Seonghwa is a soother, the last person left in the healing house. He doesn't heal, but he eases the passing of those who come looking for peace - the sick and tired, the broken down, the dying. He's been alone for years, and it will most likely stay that way.
But then, one day, someone shows up with an injury that's not deadly. What can Seonghwa even do for him? And what will this mean for Seonghwa?

Summary
An unusual boy, with a scaly tail in place of legs, is perched on a rock at the water’s edge, looking at Seungkwan with deep annoyance.
“You scared off my meal,” the creature complains, then studies Seungkwan with a curious gaze. “But that’s fine. I like you better. Come here, birdie.”
The creature opens his mouth and… doesn’t speak for a while, while Seungkwan just stands there, frozen, blushing harder at the unexpected nickname.
“Why aren’t you coming?” The creature’s pale eyebrows knit together. “You didn’t like my song?”
That’s when Seungkwan snaps out of it. He starts gesturing frantically, then groans and smacks his own forehead.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you,” he finally says, voice rough and trembling. “I’m sure your song is beautiful—just like you—but... I can’t hear it. As much as I wish I could.”
The creature’s sharp eyes go wide in surprise—like he’s peering straight into Seungkwan’s soul—and then he tilts his head with interest.

Warm.
So warm.
Soft in a way that feels at odds with the strength coiled inside him.
So moldable like this, fear smoothing him down into something smaller, something fragile.
Seonghwa’s thumb lingers for a moment longer than it should.
“We will find him,” he says, quieter now, voice dropping into something steadier—something that promises. “We will. Because Hongjoong and I say so.”

"Do you know what it was?" Zhou Zishu asks. He holds his fingers over Wen Kexing's racing pulse, burning wrist.
Wen Kexing shakes his head. Then, as if the words are dragged out of him. "I do know. I've used it once or twice."
Zhou Zishu gives him a surprised look. He knows quite well that Wen Kexing is not the mask of Philanthropist Wen that he wears—but he hardly expected an open admission of it.
"A potion that compels the truth," Wen Kexing says, and then gasps. He covers his own mouth with his free hand, while Zhou Zishu stares at him.
Wen Kexing's secrets come spilling out. Zhou Zishu loves him anyway.Bookmarked by aetheric
