    Summary

    "I lived a life where my tears are a measurement for someone else's happiness. I don't think I'll ever be able to be happy without guilt gnawing at me."

    After years of constantly being tormented by the ones he thought loved him, Choi Beomgyu is met with the reality of not being able to cry anymore.

    Or

    Beomgyu was born with a gift, something other people would call a blessing when it’s actually a curse he had to be burdened with all his life.

    Summary

    Pirates spend their lives hunting down treasure, but the most valuable treasure of all isn’t gold or jewels - it’s mermaid scales. After the majority of Captain Kim Hongjoong’s crew is decimated by disease, he has no choice but to turn to the hunting of mermaids to keep himself and his remaining men afloat. When a new pirate joins them, however, he struggles to maintain his control over his crew, his ship, and his emotions.

    It’s only a matter of time until Hongjoong’s notorious reputation falls apart, but little does he know that darker plans are at play beneath the surface.

    Mermaids can walk on land if they choose, but doing so is practically unheard of due to the risks. Seonghwa is the only living mermaid of his kind left, and after a life of hiding from ruthless hunters, he hatches a plan for revenge. He poses as a pirate and steps ashore for the first time in his life, all with the intent to destroy a certain captain, his crew, and his ship from the inside.

    It’s only a matter of time until Seonghwa’s true identity is revealed, but he plans to destroy them all before it comes to that.

    Summary

    “Come to my gym.” Seonghwa blurted out, “Let me train you properly and show you what boxing is all about, you have the right spirit and the right mindset. This is a golden opportunity.”

    Mingi’s eyes widened, his mouth fell open and his eyebrows arched before the same confused, “Huh?” He let out when Seonghwa first approached him found its way out of his lips, “Excuse me, what?” He added and rushed to stuff his mouth with chips once again, “Am I already wrecked to the point of hearing things?”

    Seonghwa snorted, leaving the chips to the younger and leaning to snatch a Pepero from the small pack Hongjoong was holding, “Come to my gym and I’ll turn you into a pro boxer, I’ll give you all the fame and the money you deserve, you’ll climb the ranks.” He promised, Pepero between his lips, “And you know who stands above those ranks?”

    “The Captain.” Mingi whispered, eyes fixed on Hongjoong who was placidly listening to the conversation.

    Or: Mingi was an underground boxer until he wasn't anymore. All he needed was for retired boxer, Park Seonghwa, and current middleweight champion, Kim Hongjoong, to spot his abilities and offer him a golden opportunity.

    Summary

    It was supposed to be a simple mission.

    Unfortunately, any possibility of this being an easy job went out the window when Seonghwa was shot, bitten, and who knows what else.

    It’s not like he can exactly tell anyone what happened, San tells himself reproachfully. Not when he’s passed out on the floor in a growing puddle of blood, twitching occasionally.

    The ship shudders around them, sounding only seconds away from falling apart. Yeosang is yelling over the comms for Wooyoung to slow down, even when they all know he won’t because slowing down means Seonghwa will die.

    How Mingi joins the crew of the Ateez, featuring lots of pain and anguish on everyone's part (but mostly Seonghwa's)
