Summary
Yunho talked a lot. In person. In texts. In voice messages. Sometimes Mingi would just listen to a three-minute audio of Yunho ranting about a math problem and wonder how on earth does someone passive, pessimistic and antisocial like him would end up friends with someone so energetic.
It wasn’t like Mingi didn’t have other friends. He did. Kind of. But no one else made him feel like that.
(No one else made him feel butterflies in his stomach either, but he googled the symptoms and self-determined it’s most likely gastritis or palpitations, not a crush.)

Summary
“I reckon ye only be mad at me,” he started, his eyes closing shut like he knew the prince would bring him no harm. “ ‘Cause ye 'ave no freedom in yer own life.”
A simple sentence was all it was really, words compiled together to form a meaning. Sometimes such meanings were in fact meaningless, they held no truth and were only spoken for the sake of aggravation. Though in even rarer times, there was truth rooted in the very ground of the meaning and that was what caused the aggravation.
But what would a pirate know?
Or: Royal prince Seonghwa who is first in line for the throne, finally meets the recently captured and most feared pirate in all the Seven Seas who has been condemned to death. Every year on the feast on the Ceremony of the Golden Rose, the crown prince is to take a rose dipped in gold to present to one special prisoner as a gift of freedom and a new start at life. This year is like no other, besides the fact that the great pirate king who infuriates Seonghwa to no end might end up shedding a new kind of light on the young and very adventurous prince, changing his views altogether.

Summary
Seonghwa had only one path in life: be arranged a mate, have a gaggle of pups, and be subservient. A plan to destroy his pack from the inside, though, makes it clear to him there's more to life than being a good Omega.

Summary
“What do you think you’ll be doing when you’re forty?” Hongjoong asked.
Wooyoung’s smile faded. “I don’t like to think about it,” he admitted. “My line of work has an expiration date.”
Hongjoong rolled onto his side to face him. “You could dance until you’re ninety,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper. “I’d still come see you.”
But as he said it, his heart sank. He’d be dead by then.
