Summary
Seonghwa finds his overnight shifts at the convenience store to be rather lonely.
Except for the shifts where he sees the same polite customer—probably around his age—who always comes in twice a night, and never says a word. The young man always piqued his interest, but Seonghwa never pushed it. That is, until he recognizes his loyal customer out front of the KQ Entertainment building one night, and he puts two an two together.
After Seonghwa bravely compliments the young man, and earns his name in response—Hongjoong—a friendship is created between the two strangers. Unfortunately, Seonghwa doesn't expect to fall head over heels for his new best friend, and has to find a steady balance between keeping his feelings in line and not risking Hongjoong's career. Though, that doesn't quite work out, does it?

Summary
Kim Hongjoong is an alpha born into power. By day, he leads the family luxury real estate business and by night, he plays the part of the heir to the biggest Busan crime syndicate. When he barely escapes an assassination attempt, his parents present the perfect solution: hire a professional bodyguard.
Park Seonghwa is, above all, a professional. Raised to survive in a world that underestimates omegas, trained to be the perfect weapon, he keeps his scent and emotions in check, and focuses on the job—which proves difficult when Hongjoong is determined to get rid of him.
What begins as hatred quickly turns to desire, then shifts into something neither expected: intimacy.

Summary
Hongjoong doesn’t know whether it’s the urge to somehow prove Wooyoung wrong, or the alcohol making his lips far looser than they should be, but he refuses to back down today. “I’m gonna fuck our poetry professor,” he says simply.
Ever since Hongjoong first bumped into the poetry professor, he’s been obsessed. Beautiful, gentle and with a scent that’s barely there, Seonghwa is everything the alpha has been looking for. Now, if only he stopped redirecting Hongjoong’s advances…

Summary
Squirrel hybrid Kim Hongjoong knows what to expect from humans - exploitation, abuse, inhumanity. At the laboratory where he and other hybrids were unethically experimented on, violence and pain was the order of the day. He will never trust humans again, not even the kind workers at the shelter where he is taken after his rescue from the lab.
Then Hongjoong is adopted by a librarian called Park Seonghwa. Seonghwa is kind, gentle and seemingly perfect. He treats Hongjoong like he is precious, like he matters.
The temptation to trust Seonghwa is strong, but Hongjoong knows that his kind act is only skin deep. Sooner or later, Hongjoong will find a way to make him angry, to make him show his true colours.
If only Hongjoong can find the right boundary to push.Bookmarked by memorae

Summary
In a world where emotions don’t exist, Seonghwa thrives. He’s top of his class at Prestige Academy, destined to become great. When he’s one of the students taken by the Black Pirates, everything begins to unravel: his life, his beliefs, his own body, and the chip behind his ear that he thought was there to protect them.
He has a decision to make. Leave and return to his old life and forget about everything he heard, or stay with them, and decide whether there is any truth to what their leader, Kim Hongjoong, says.
Or, in a world that actively prohibits feelings, Hongjoong teaches Seonghwa what it means to feel everything.
