Summary
“You’re not actually nervous, are you?” Hongjoong asks. “You’ve done makeup in worse conditions. Remember the car ride to Incheon? No staff, zero lighting, potholes every five seconds.”
“That was survival,” Seonghwa replies without looking away from the mirror. “This is presentation.”
Hongjoong raises a brow. “Presentation?”
Seonghwa dips a finger into a pot of shimmer and gently taps it to the corner of his eye. “You made something for me. I want to do it justice.”
Hongjoong’s offer to design something custom for Seonghwa slowly unravels the threads holding their friendship in place.

Summary
On a seemingly unremarkable university day, Seonghwa wakes with the feeling that something significant is going to happen to change his life today. For a normal person, this might not mean much, but as a clairvoyant-in-training, Seonghwa knows to take these things seriously.
A few hours later, he crashes headlong into a sorcerer named Kim Hongjoong.
(Prequel to my previous Twilight Emporium works, and a peek into how the group was formed. Can be read alone.)

Summary
In truth, San's known how much Hongjoong likes him five steps ahead of Hongjoong admitting it. He's wondered, at times, if the reticence turned out to be long-lasting, whether he would settle anyway, for how nice it is to have his little, private understanding of Hongjoong in spite of it. Then, spring into summer, Hongjoong opened up to him like a flower. He folded him into his life so determinedly it makes San’s heart hurt to think about for too long.

Summary
They’re in rehearsal before their last two concerts in Kobe when it happens. It’s just one bad landing, his foot slipping where the stage is dented slightly in one place. No one else notices at first, but Seonghwa feels more than hears the sickening pop in his knee.
The pain that erupts through his body makes dark spots appear, dancing, in his field of vision. He looks around, but no one is there to catch him, so he stays upright, tears springing to his eyes.
Seonghwa and the difficult art of letting yourself be taken care of.

Summary
Ever since she was a little girl, Seonghwa has tried her best not to be selfish. She’s always tried to be the bigger person: the person who picks whatever is left after everyone else has made their choice, the person who makes sure that other people are happy first. It’s the people-pleaser in you, unnie, Wooyoung once told her over a bottle of soju.
Whatever it is, Seonghwa has always made the effort. Be hungry, she used to tell herself before it became second nature, but don’t be greedy.
It’s not that easy with Hongjoong.
Seonghwa, Hongjoong, and the art of looking.

Summary
“Let’s bring the meeting to order,” Wooyoung declared, banging a toy wooden gavel against the massive pine conference table. “Please state your name and title.”
Yeosang and Mingi sat on opposite sides, both staring at him with resignation.
“What?” Wooyoung asked from the head of the table, blinking innocently.
“Can you not?” Yeosang said flatly.
“It’s literally just the three of us,” Mingi grumbled. “Did you really need to book the biggest conference room in the library for this?”
“This is a serious business and we need to treat it like one,” Wooyoung said. “I’ll go first. Jung Wooyoung, President.” He glared at Yeosang, motioning for him to follow.
Yeosang sighed. “Kang Yeosang, Treasurer.”
“Song Mingi, Secretary.”

“I said I wanted to meet in person because I knew you’d hang up on me if we talked over the phone. You’re very predictable, you know that?”
“You have one minute,” Hongjoong said, jaws clenching.
Wooyoung paused and brought his hands to his lips. “I thought about what you said that night. About breaking up San and Seonghwa.”
Hongjoong snorted. “Yeah, that was a joke.”

Soccer is all Kim Hongjoong knows. In a high-stakes season, Hongjoong teams up with rival captain Jung Wooyoung to break up their newly dating teammates. Hongjoong learns there’s far more to Wooyoung than the arrogant midfielder he appears to be on the pitch.

Summary
The truth is, it’s been a little difficult to be around Hongjoong these past few months. In a way, it’s Seonghwa’s own fault, for wanting things he can’t have and getting his hopes up over and over again, just to have them crushed like a dry, brittle leaf in the palm of his hand, looking as the dust flies away with the wind. He should’ve known, watching the play of light on the waters of Lake Como, that some things weren’t meant to be.
Before the last concert of their North American tour, Seonghwa and Hongjoong spend five days at an upscale villa in Los Angeles. Those five days change everything. It's been a long time coming.

Summary
It was a beautiful day. Not a cloud in sight and the temperature warm enough for short sleeves, a gentle breeze cooling the skin before the heat had a chance to become too oppressive… yeah, a perfect day. And perhaps that should have been a good thing—for Jung Wooyoung it almost certainly was—but for Kim Hongjoong it felt like a cruelty, as though today wasn’t already painful enough without the weather laughing in his face too. Because this was one of his top five worst days…
~~~
And so begins the story of one Kim Hongjoong, a man so completely sold on his own warped belief of his own unlovability that he’s successfully pushed the only man who’s ever truly loved him into the arms of someone else.The only way from here is up. Right?

Hongjoong studiously avoids looking at Yunho, because looking at Yunho usually results in agreeing with Yunho, and then they end up groaning in a waiting room together getting checked for concussions for reasons not unrelated to their burgeoning careers in freestyle urban parkour.

Summary
Hongjoong, a former outlaw and Alpha, is being pressured by the railroad to sell his property, which features an old mine he's convinced still has gold inside. To make it harder to be uprooted from his home, he sends for a mail order mate through an ad in the newspaper. An Omega from a coastal city answers: Song Mingi, who gives up all he knows for a new life with an Alpha he's never met before.
Hongjoong is determined to keep it strictly business, as he's not used to having someone so close at all times. Hell, he'll be happy if the man doesn't hate him on sight. But well laid plans tend to go awry, and Mingi is so very easy to love. Will Hongjoong allow himself to open up in such a way, or will they crash and burn?

"Yes, sir."

“Noooo!” Hongjoong yells in despair at no one in particular as he clutches the cat keychain in his hands.
“What’s he realizing now?” Mingi asks and he’s met with Yeosang’s response of, “probably the cat cafe first date.”
“I’m allergic! That’s not romantic! I was sneezing the whole time!” Hongjoong cries. “I offered to fight a fucking dandelion!”
--
Or, unbeknownst to Hongjoong, he and Seonghwa have been dating for the past month.
