Summary
"There’s a pregnant pause, and a crinkle in the bridge of the man’s eyebrows. For a split second, he almost looks a little sheepish, a hint of a flush colouring his ears. It feels totally at odds with his entire demeanour, but Mingyu finds that he cannot look away from his face.
“I guess I should have introduced myself earlier,” the man says, like he’s pulling out each word painstakingly, like he’s almost skittish about how the revelation would go down. “I’m Lee Jihoon. And I’m your new bodyguard, Prince Mingyu-sshi.”"
Or, in which Kim Mingyu (somewhat) starts a revolution, crumbles into pieces, then builds an empire out of his bleeding heart.

Summary
After a seemingly harmless one-night stand, a very unprepared Wooyoung finds himself looking at the world through a lens of inconvenient fireworks, rewritten rulebooks, and sudden bursts of sunlight, as a man with a treasure map neck and shimmering midnight hair prompts him to think about everything that he is, was, and wants to be.
And maybe, just maybe, he learns a thing or two about love.
-
in which Wooyoung is cynical and doesn't believe in love, San takes care of kittens and humans better than himself, Yunho is an overly generous dance teacher, Hongjoong is a nocturnal musician, Seonghwa waters plants for a living, Jongho is a THC gummy bear-dealing arm wrestler, Yeosang is the proud owner of the world’s gayest fish tank, and Mingi is… well, Mingi.

Summary
Hushed murmurs swirled through the air, the footfalls of men in uniform heightening the tension in the neighborhood; barricades were set up, people were pushed back, and a systematic order was placed. Somewhere in the crowd, a couple of gasps pierced through the wails of sirens as a stretcher was wheeled onto the cobbled pathway of the house, the white blanket thrown over what seemed to be a lifeless body, soaking something crimson from beneath.
It was June, and it was the season of melons and pears. In the next following hours, the sun would crawl its way up the mountaintops, shower everything underneath its majestic glow with golden and warm rays, and coax the flowers to bloom and the little children to play. For most of Gwangcheon’s townsfolk, they could still have summer, but for Lee Jihoon, sitting in the back of an ambulance, staring at the blood covering his trembling hands, summer had become nothing but a fleeting memory of horror.
In which a dog that weeps after it bites is no better than a dog that doesn't, but a man who weeps, with the blood of his monster on his hands, can be under the right reasons, and with the right people surrounding him.

Summary
Light glinted off a purple racquet, just as he neared the exit. The thing came out of nowhere, and Wooyoung ran too fast to stop himself.
The owner of it took a swing, crushing Wooyoung’s stomach in one flawless motion.
“Mingi did warn me that you’re fast, so I tried to tone down my imagination. Though it seems like he might’ve been underestimating you, hm?”
A larger figure towered over him, mockingly spinning a racquet in his hand. The main goalkeeper of Black Pirates and their deadliest investment; Choi San.
Jung Wooyoung has always been running, he can’t remember a moment in his life where he wasn’t. But when Song Mingi offers him a deal he can’t shy from—an exclusive contract to play for Black Pirates—he wavers.
