Summary
“My mom used to tell me that if someone looks like they're carrying the world on their shoulders, the least you can do is ask if they're okay. I don't need anything from you, Jungkook. I was just worried.”
Jungkook loathes pity. He hates the sympathetic looks, the hushed whispers, and the casual assumptions of people who have never had to choose between eating lunch and buying their mother's prescriptions. He especially hates Kim Namjoon—the twenty-four-year-old heir who seems determined to tear down every single wall Jungkook has built to survive.
But when Jungkook's reality violently fractures, a desperate under-the-table cleaning job brings him face-to-face with the one person he was running from.

Summary
Yoongi does not trust anyone with his body, let alone his heart. Armored in silence and ruthless ambition, he built an empire alone until Kim Namjoon offers the one thing he has never allowed himself to want: "Let me take care of you."
What begins as careful scenes inside the sanctuary of the Magic Shop slowly dismantles every wall Yoongi has built. Namjoon's steady dominance becomes safety. The other residents show him that care can arrive in many gentle forms. Surrender stops feeling like weakness and starts feeling like flying.
But the hardest surrender is not on his knees. It is handing over the final locked door he keeps inside himself.
When shadows from Yoongi's past return without warning, they shatter everything. His body, his home, and the fragile new life he has begun to build. In the brutal aftermath, with Namjoon fighting desperately to reach him, both men are forced to confront the limits of trust, control, and love.
A story of profound healing, chosen family, and the courage to stay open even when it hurts most. Because some keys are not simply given. They are earned through blood, tears, and the quiet promise of forever.

Summary
Taehyung has one rule: never touch Jungkook beyond what friendship allows. Thirteen years following that rule. Thirteen years of it working.
In September, Jungkook found out the rule existed.
Now there's no rule anymore. And Jungkook, who has never felt desire for anyone in his life, not men, not women, wants Taehyung to teach him what he's feeling. Wants help understanding his own body. Wants his best friend as a safe harbor for the biggest discovery of his life.
Taehyung is going to say yes. Of course he is.
The problem isn't saying yes. It's that Jungkook thinks he got over it. And Taehyung can't correct that without losing everything.

Summary
In a dying world, Omegas are vanishing.
The solution: Project Omega, a serum designed to forcibly convert Alphas and Betas into Omegas to sustain the population.
Kim Hongjoong, a decorated Alpha mecha pilot and war hero, is the perfect test subject. Betrayed by his own people and branded a traitor, he wakes up in a lab, his biology rewritten against his will. But the serum fails. He’s an Omega in body, but his alpha spirit, his scent, his very core remains unchanged. A failed experiment. Trash to be disposed of. He is given to the project’s lead creator: Park Seonghwa. The man Hongjoong once called his best friend.The man whose path diverged so sharply from his own they became enemies.
Now, Hongjoong is property, a living, breathing failure handed over to the one person he hates most. Seonghwa is no longer the quiet, kind boy from school. He’s the architect of Hongjoong’s nightmare. And he’s looking at his new possession with an unnerving, almost tender, fascination.
