Summary
He allowed Hongjoong to stare. He allowed Hongjoong to say pretty words. He even allowed their fingers to linger a little too long when Hongjoong would slip him a drink, because Seonghwa liked the attention. He craved the attention. So he would continue to allow these things, with a clear boundary.
Seonghwa would say thank you, but not compliment back. He would dutifully pretend not to notice the phone number scrawled on a napkin. He would artfully change the subject if conversation veered into territories too dangerous to explore. He would choose his words meticulously, carefully, making sure nothing could be perceived as a promise or an invitation.
Because as much as Seonghwa sought out everything Hongjoong was willing to give, Seonghwa, for better or for worse, was already a taken man.

Summary
Kim Hongjoong is a promising writer, quietly building his way to the top in the field. He was known for writing sci-fi books, but amidst his name making a little bit of noise in the industry, no one has seen him yet in the flesh.
Park Seonghwa, on the other hand, is the newly hired editor-in-chief of the same publishing company that takes care of Hongjoong’s books.

What happens when the author finally decides to make his move to the older man by visiting his house and creating an excuse to write his manuscript, knowing damn well that the other is already charmed by his mischievous demeanor?

Summary
'"Seonghwa, you don't understand!" Hongjoong almost yells at him, face contorted in a terrified grimace, "if I stay here, if I'm not far, far away from you—I might do horrible things to you. Unspeakable things, I—" He takes a deep breath, a bead of sweat running down his flushed and rapidly heaving chest. "I might kill you."'
Seonghwa doesn't know his best friend Hongjoong is a wolf shifter. Then one night while they're trapped in a cave during a storm, he finds out.

Summary
“And besides, we lovers fear everything”
― Ovid, MetamorphosesSeonghwa is a former prince whose kingdom was annexed by the empire five years ago. During the fall of his kingdom, Seonghwa is taken prisoner and brought to the capital as a gladiator, forced to compete in the brutal games put on by the emperor. He becomes the most popular fighter. The people call him the hand of Mars, but his strength in battle is only fuelled by one thing: the wish to take revenge for his people, his country. When the young emperor makes him his private guard, Seonghwa sees an opportunity.
Behind the facade of the cruel emperor, however, lies a human being with a fear of intrigue and treason. Emperor Hongjoong hopes that Seonghwa’s protection will bring him something more than just safety.
What will Fortuna have in store for them?
A Matz AU set in a fictional version of the Roman Empire, ca. during the Julio-Claudian dynasty.

Summary
“How did you get this?”
The voice comes from directly beside him and a fingertip brushes softly against the side of his neck. Seonghwa jumps violently, his heart practically launching into his throat as he spins around. Hongjoong stands close, too close, brows drawn together deeply as he gently traces one visible mark with his finger on Seonghwa's bruised throat.
“It’s nothing,” Seonghwa says immediately, a little too fast and a little too defensive as he yanks the hoodie over his head in a rush.
“Seonghwa.”
