    Summary

    The sun beats down on his shoulders, and the sea invades his senses, full of that certain brine that clings to his whole being. Wind catches in his clothes, sending up a mist that settles on his skin. The sea in the morning is calmer, perfect for their little seaside town and the residents that populate it.

    Change is slow to arrive, and when it does happen to stumble across Riku’s humble shore, it catches him off guard.

    Riku spends all his life by the shore, with the same people, with the same problems. That is until change, in the form of Oh Sion, arrives at his doorstep.

    Summary

    There is a name on his wrist, stark against his skin.

    The black characters are clear and unmistakable: Choi Yeonjun.

    Soobin swears.

    All idols wear soulbands around their wrists to hide their soulmate’s name: as idols there’s an expectation to be single and appear forever-attainable so that their fans can wonder what name is written on their wrist and believe that there’s a chance it could be their own.

    Soobin gave up on a future with a soulmate when he became an idol. He never expected to get a soulmark — and then he did.

    Summary

    “Spicy?” Keonho asks.

    “You can’t even handle spice,” Seonghyeon says, reaching for mild… then switching to medium because Keonho’s already picked it up. Their knuckles brush around the same packet. Neither acknowledges it.

    “Rock-paper-scissors for who cooks?” Keonho offers.

    “Loser washes,” Seonghyeon counters.

    Summary

    Sion has always known his role—the golden boy, the life of the party, the guy who never overthinks things. Riku is everything Sion isn't—the town's outsider, always on the fringes, always keeping his head down. They shouldn’t have anything to do with each other, but restlessness hums in their bones just the same, and restless boys do strange things.

    Summary

    Sion has always been little more than a pawn in his parents' sprawling empire, a disappointment in their quest for the perfect heir. Desperate to mold him into their vision of success, they send him to Seishin, an elite boarding school nestled in the mountains of Nagano, known for shaping the next generation of world leaders.

    To Sion, however, Seishin represents everything he despises—unearned privilege, hollow traditions, and the suffocating weight of expectations.

    Then he meets Maeda Riku, the charismatic son of Japan's most powerful right-wing politicians and the school's untouchable golden boy. At Seishin, his life is turned upside down—but not by the institution. It's Riku who changes everything.
