Summary
Brought up in an extremely religious family, Lee Donghyuck thought turning eighteen finally meant freedom. He was supposed to leave for college, move out, and get away from a life that always felt too strict and suffocating. Instead, one mistake on his birthday gets him shipped off to St. Constantine’s Boarding Institute, a Catholic boarding school infamous for putting teenagers back on the “right” path.
His roommate, Mark Lee barely speaks, barely looks at Donghyuck, and refuses to tell anyone why he was sent there in the first place. And for someone who is used to getting attention so easily, Donghyuck cannot stand being ignored by him, so he pulls every trick in the book to get Mark’s eyes on him.
The thing is that they are both very sure they are straight. But somewhere between those tricks and curiousity, that certainty begins to blur into something neither of them knows what to do with.
In a place built to erase temptation, they become each other’s worst one.

Summary
Mark hates Donghyuck. He hates everything he represents—the frailty, the softness, the way he yields. He hates the very idea of omegas. Because Mark is an Alpha, a prince of his bloodline, yet he refuses to be dictated by something as primal as instinct. He refuses to be like the rest of them.
And yet, here he is. Bound to one. Donghyuck.
His Alpha wants him. It wants him in ways Mark cannot stomach, in ways that make his teeth ache and his skin itch with the need to take.

Summary
Planning a wedding can be quite fun, as long as it’s done by someone who actually knows what they’re doing and maybe even has some help along the way.
Lee Donghyuck has the great honor of being given the title of master of ceremonies at his twin’s luxury dream wedding. He tries to put on a good face for the entire day, but at the same time the most important thing for him is simply to survive the hell. Up until that point, everything goes well, when he receives his outfit, in which he is supposed to appear as a witness, but fits more into the role of a disco ball. Donghyuck can more or less accept this streak of bad luck, but what he has a much harder time swallowing is the fact that he has to spend the rest of the wedding with Mark Lee, the person he hates more than anyone.
A small mistake is enough to turn everything upside down: the dream honeymoon to Hawaii meant for the bride has been booked under Donghyuck and Mark’s names. And since cancellation isn’t possible, they are forced to call a truce for the duration of a ten-day luxury cruise and pretend to be a freshly married, happy couple. The question is whether they can pull it off in a way that, during their fake honeymoon, no one ends up needing an ambulance.Bookmarked by earcandy

Summary
It tasted like summer, tasted like sunshine and like the kind of fruit that Mark wanted to eat on a picnic blanket or on the beach. It wasn’t midnight, it wasn’t a rainy night in New York, it wasn’t what Mark thought he should be drinking but it was maybe what he didn’t know he wanted.
Escaping a past he’d rather leave behind, Mark moves to New
York be a “normal” undergrad and finally write his novel. Instead, he just finds himself isolated, anonymous, and completely blocked. Tired of the quiet, he wanders into a wine bar on a rainy night and meets Donghyuck, a snarky bartender with a sharp tongue, a messy reality, and the exact right pour to bring Mark back to life.Bookmarked by earcandy
