Friday, December 23rd. Two days before Christmas, the streets were full of people. It was time for Seonwoo, who had reached the crosswalk at the end of the downtown area against the crowds, to take a step while cooling off his tired head from repeated overtime. Closer, closer. The sound of a nightmare-like loud horn was heard as the noise and carol-soothing songs broke through his ears. If someone hadn't pushed him away, it would have been the last sound. Without even having time to say thank you to the woman who saved him.... more>>

"What a relief. I'm so glad that you’re okay.…."

The woman shed tears, repeating her unknown words, and was swept away in the crowd. And, no one was where the pedestrians disappeared. Yoo Jina, the self-proclaimed angel, who suddenly approached as if dealing with someone she knew very well, and left no place to turn around. Twelve meetings were so short and intense until flowers blossomed in the cold, desolate fields of a man who did not believe in people. It was enough to shake the life of a thirty years old Cha Seonwoo, a single-minded accountant. <<less

Turbulent times.... more>>

In a world situation where fierce battles break out at any time,

There lived Nemia, a petit innocent commoner.

Nemia is destined to face the gun of the enemy,

While running away from him, she is captured by Anton, who calls himself a ‘hero’, and is used as a tool to lure the enemy’s giants.

Nemia, who doesn’t even know she is being used.

And Noel, the enchanting enemy who yearns for her most ardently.

“I’m worried about you. Aren’t you trying not to want anything, or maybe you just don’t know what you want? Or is it that you’re trying not to want it?”

The moment she realises that everything about him was a deception for his grand goal,

She cannot help but feel intense hatred towards him.

As deeply as it was etched in her heart, down to her very bones.

“Nemia, do you want to run away from me? Then try running away.”

Noel looked at himself reflected in the clear eyes and spoke as if chewing on something.

“I will destroy all of your world. I will make you crawl to me yourself.”

Only after losing does he realise…

‘I yearn for the you of yesterday.

I eagerly await the you of tomorrow.

Every night passing without you torments me.’

* * *

“I feel like hating you to death.”

It took her a long time to speak, and she saw him for the first time that day.

“I want to die too. I want to kill the part of me that loves you.”

If only I didn’t know you, I wish I didn’t know you. <<less

After saving a child from a car accident and dying, Kim Doyoon wakes up in the body of 'Ye Doyoon', the illegimitate son of a corporation's chairman. The only thing the two with similar names had in common was their university and 'Han Gyul,' a close underclassman. Doyoon approaches Han Gyul with a glimmer of hope, but he's far too different from the cute underclassman in his memories.

"I don't care if you want something from me or if you're just planning something dumb, but.... Don't use Doyoon-hyung for that. I'll kill you."

Gyul, I'm Doyoon....

'Doyoon-hyung, have you had lunch yet?'
'Hyung, you need a bit more care than you seem.'
'Hyung, I wish you wouldn't meet people who don't give you the respect you deserve.'

The polite, caring voice of his underclassman felt like a faraway dream. Doyoon let out a huff as he stared at Gyul's back after he had said his piece.

"You, you were acting this whole time......." <<less

Jeong Hyunsol (lead), who had dreamed of becoming an actor since childhood, was promised a three-year time frame by his conservative parents to pursue his dream. After a series of challenging and lonely attempts, he gets cast as the lead in a drama on an OTT platform. His co-star is Yoon Suyoung (secondary lead), an actor who once made a name for himself as a talented newbie by grabbing a rookie award.... more>>

Hyunsol, believing this to be his last chance, grits his teeth and immerses himself in the role. However, whether it’s because it’s a BL drama or because of his personalitySuyoung seems somewhat irritable and distant.

“Do you not like my acting?”

“It’s not that… I know you can do better.”

From the friction at their first shoot, the two start immersing themselves in the work as if competing against each other.

“Have you ever dated a co-star?”

“Why do you ask?”

“You look like the type, you know? Like you’ve made many girls cry.”

But perhaps they’re too engrossed? Their hearts keep skipping a beat.

“Do you cry a lot?”

“Huh?”

“Men can avoid crying too.”

Is this just over-immersion, or is it romantic feelings?

Are we in a drama or is this non-fiction? <<less

It was an unrequited love. ... more>>

One that could never be fulfilled and one that could never be wished for.

Licht McClellan, the Cardinal who had saved her, as he would save many others, was considered a candidate for the next pope because of his acts of salvation. But everything changed when he found her in the Count’s mansion, engulfed in flames and lying in a pool of blood.

[Louise.]

[My Louise]

Licht, a symbol of abstinence and moderation, lost his senses and rushed at her like a beast, and Louise did not refuse him.

"If you’re in pain, embrace me, Licht".

On the contrary, she took advantage of the opportunity to seduce him.

This was the price to pay for having sinned, an eternal separation. 

That was clearly how it should have been.

"I have lost count of how many times I have been ripped apart like an animal. So why did you abandon me? You will remain by my side, no matter what. If you want to go that far and sacrifice your body to save me… You should be prepared and take full responsibility, Louise."

The man who had once been admired by all and who had become the most noble pope in the realm,

“Louise, as of today, you belong to me. All that you’ll think about, look at, and even listen to will be me..”

With a face as beautiful and noble as an angel's, he whispered lovingly like the devil.

"That is the punishment and reward I am giving you." <<less

Cincie gently kisses Razey’s shocked lips.

‘I’m sorry that your first love is someone like me.’

* * *

‘Why did you deceive me?’

As she approached him, the scent of alcohol mixed with his fragrance filled the air.

It made Cincie’s heart flutter and ache at the same time.

‘Was it fun? Falling in love with me and then planning to cruelly abandon me?’

She was burning like fire, but he was letting his heart flow like water.

‘Was I ever the kind of person to fall in love like that? No way.’

‘Razey Millo, you’re truly…’

‘Even if I die, you’ll live without batting an eye, won’t you?’

His eyes revealed a ruthlessness that hadn’t been seen during their time apart, along with pent-up resentment and anger.

‘Cincie, you’re truly a cold person. I regret loving someone as cold as you.’ <<less

The place I was in was a place where neither crying nor laughter occurred. I have wondered since when it started. At least since I was born, the world has been like that. There were no fights, no kidnappings. Android robots created anything that one desired, and the world had no need for humans.... more>>

“Then, what about the people? What do people do? If they don’t hunt, if they don’t work—”

“They do nothing.”

“In that case, what do they live for?”

“For nothing.”

The world I lived in was like that. So, Temojin’s many emotions were fascinating to me.

“What expression is that? I want to know.”

He said it was okay to be a deceiver with just a smiling face, he didn’t even get angry. But when talking about love, he got angry.

Up until now, there were still many things I didn’t know. It was because they were things that didn’t matter.

“I want to know about you.”

So, now, I want to know more about this man.

“...Those expressions like ‘I’m going crazy,’ ‘I’m shaking right now,’ ‘I want to devour you,’ or ‘I’m really going insane…!’” <<less

However, one morning, Lucky, who used to sleep with her every day, was nowhere to be found. Instead, she was nestled in the broad arms of Grand Duke Calsius!

To make matters more intriguing, he strictly forbade any disclosure of the incident, transformed into Lucky before her eyes, and ran away.

‘A cute kitten like Lucky is the Beast of the Snow.’

For a moment, Melody was bewildered by the dignified Northern Grand Duke's unexpected appearance. Because Melody found out his secret, she was forcibly incorporated into a secret organization, where she took on the role of a fake mistress and a cure for his insomnia...

“You’ve already called me that.”

“I will never call you again.”

“It does not matter. Whatever you think of me, whatever you call me… .”

Blayden stretched out his arm. A warm, moist hand cupped her cheek, his touch gentle with a hint of tenderness.

“Solenia Radelyon.”

His icy blue eyes darkened, and he whispered, drawing her breathless face nearer.

“You are mine.”

On her way to Hollow Heights, a beautiful mansion off the beaten path, she hears strange rumors.

"One thing is certain. Nobody wants to set foot in that mansion. There has been a mu*der there."

The first night in the eerie mansion, filled with whispering mist and screams, felt like a haunting nightmare.

And she came face to face with the owner of the nightmare, who was beautiful. Beautiful in a terrifying way.

Strangely, the beautiful owner tried to avoid me, yet also saved me. While telling me to leave this place, they held me back, pleading me not to go.

"I don't know how to make you stay with me. How can I make you love me again, love me once more?"

As I grew closer to the secret they were hiding, I also grew closer to my lost memories. In that moment of falling in love, I finally realized.

I was in the beautiful mansion, in Hallow Heights. A long time ago. <<less

"...Ah, I got it right this time? Yeah, I'll use this for my fiancé. What of it?" Ian's voice continued soothingly. "Even if I just torment him a little, that young master will run off crying to his daddy. If he's an alpha, he might even be traumatized."

In this world, is this a dream or reality? Is my fiancé now buying adult toys from my favorite club just to torment me? That sounded far more alluring and sweet than any love confession Noah had ever heard. Noah immediately changed the resolve he had just made to not marry Ian Miller. Someone who would even pluck a star from the sky for him is nothing special, and someone who hates him is nothing special either, but someone who will torment him is most welcome. This marriage must happen! It absolutely must! The delusion and love between a lovable, cute masochist and a lone, serious bad guy! <<less

“…Forget everything about the past.”

“…Ugh!”

Roselyn Bluebell was once called the Blue Rose of the Empire, but became embroiled in various scandals due to the intrigues of her stepmother and ex-husband.... more>>

Exhausted from enduring the rapidly changing circumstances and countless misunderstandings, she was approached by Prince Aiden, who extended his hand to her. However, she did not know if he was her salvation or not.

“I need a scandal to turn down the marriage proposal. After I’ve achieved my goal, there will be sufficient compensation.”

“You’re trying to make me a target for your arrows.”

“To put it bluntly.”

And the Prince, as arrogant as he was noble, had no qualms about picking on Roselyn's wounds.

“You have to be smart, Roselyn, to get what you desire.”

For Roselyn, who was cornered, the temptation to restore everything she had lost was too sweet, so much so that she deliberately ignored the fact that she might regret it.

Willingly, Roselyn took the Prince’s hand and decided to plunge into the fall.

***

Aiden slowly took her outstretched hand and lowered his head. His lips, which rested on the back of her hand, felt hot as if they would burn her. He whispered, pulling Roselyn’s hand hard as she panicked and tried to withdraw it, “You will have to get used to skinship with me by this time.”

“Why, why…?”

“Because a lover in love should not be startled by holding hands.”

His eyes admonished her, as if asking if he had made a trivial statement. Roselyn exhaled deeply, as if she had made up her mind, and curled her fingers slowly. Aiden smiled brightly as he held her hand in his own large hand.

“Then, please take care of me, my love.” <<less
