Roses and Champagne
Y’all I really wanted Dimitri to die Anyway Caesar is hella toxic and Lee-Won has the patience of a god. Lee-won is a lawyer who is dealing with a case that involves the mafia and he meets Caesar. Afterwards, Caesar takes a liking to Lee-Won because he’s beautiful and argumentative. Queue some drama and some side characters and that’s the end. The end was so bland I was expecting a little more. Not too bad; I’ve read worse . Oh yeah, Caesar shoots Lee-Won because he tries to leave the country “without talking to him” and due to Dimitri getting into his head. Lee-won forgives him. Caesar cuts his throat at one point because Lee-Won blurted out that he wanted to break up out of frustration and anger.
When The Yakuza Falls Inlove
A cute story about a Yakuza man who falls in love with a nursing student (even though we never see him in school). It’s cute and not as intense as other yakuza stories which was refreshing. I wish Daiki was a bit more involved though and I feel like we didn’t see much progress other than with Joon. I love Kenta and Sho<3 Taichi is also cute but I wish they could’ve divulged more on the siblings and cousins. I didn’t know who was who and at one point I didn’t recognize Daiki. The kids were so adorable too!
Concealment
Enoch is adopted as a kid by a man he calls “master” and he uses Enoch as his muse for art. Enoch was never picked before because he is mute. When Enoch is older his master dies in a freak accident and his son inherited the house. Little did the son know that Enoch was there and he decided to keep him to himself. Enoch tries to run from him but eventually gets caught and is inevitably raped. He then gaslights himself into thinking it’s fine as long as the son deems him as “useable”. He just wants to be loved and the son takes advantage of that. Kind of sad actually and it sucks that it’s a short story.
The Beast Must Die
SPOILERS: Kirin is trying to avenge his sister’s death. She was drugged, raped, and the cops didn’t do a damn thing because the family of the guys involved were wealthy and had connections. Kirin finds out about a secret club that was involved in his sisters death and meets Kang Moo. He asks Kang Moo to pretend to date him in order to get access to the club. The club asks to “gangbang” Kirin as an initiation ritual but Kang Moo compromises by suggesting he has sex with Kirin in front of them (a way to humiliate Kirin). Most of the guys in the group die (thanks to Kang Moo) and then Kang Moo later reveals that this has been his plan all along. Turns out the group/club was actually his but after he moved abroad the good guys left and the bad ones stayed and did horrible things and essentially ruined the club reputation. Kang Moo was curious about Kirin because KangMoo had met Seorin (Kirin’s sister) before she committed suicide and he found it strange and fascinating how much she talked about her brother and how she thought she could help him live a normal life as a psychopath. She started sending him books when he moved abroad and he sent her pictures of Kirin. Kang Moo lost contact with her and he had assumed that she just got bored and moved on to another person but that wasn’t the case. After she passed Kang Moo—being the psychopath that he is—came up with a plan to lure Kirin in and trap him in his sick and twisted game of cat and mouse. There’s murder, crime, corruption and betrayal all around. Kang Moo also tracks Kirin throughout the entire story lmao. He’s truly dedicated to keeping his prey safe—because if anyone’s going to kill him, it’ll be him. Such a bittersweet ending— not really a happy ending but they do end up together. Kang Moo will most likely not get better (maybe when he’s grey and old.. if he makes it that long) and Kirin will live a life riddled of anxiety.
Candy Man
It’s good. MC comes off as naive and gets caught by ML catfishing as a girl in an online game. Some parts were funny but ML comes off as emotionally manipulative when it comes to mc. MC is an avid gamer on an online game. He pretends to be a girl in order to get special treatment in the game and catfishes men into giving him rare and expensive artifacts in the game. He then meets ML and he thinks it’ll be as easy to get rid of him as it is to get rid of the other guys he’s played before, but ML is persistent. ML wants a picture of MC and he puts in a wig and sends ML a picture and then ML sends a picture back and MC realizes it’s his classmate and the most popular guy in school. Then proceeds a game of cat and mouse because ML wants to see MC. While this is happening, ML gets closer to MC at school because MC resembles “his online girlfriend” (shocker I know). At one point MC gets caught by ML and he confesses that he’s known MC is the girl on her mind but he doesn’t care. They then proceed to date and blah blah blah. It’s pretty bland but a nice refresher from red flags!
December
A recessive omega running away from a traumatic event with a dominant alpha, finds himself helping a young man who was in a motorcycle incident. Three years later Omega decides to go back to Seoul in hopes of continuing to go to school. Little does he know the young man he saved that night was a powerful awakened alpha. Awakened alpha has been looking for recessive omega this entire time but omega doesn’t remember him! Through trial and tributes (or however the saying goes) they end up becoming close despite the omegas wariness of alphas. It’s a cute story with a little angst built up at the end. The guys that were hurt deserved it and I hope his stepmom and his dad also gets what they deserve. Grandpa was a cutie and so was his secretary. Everyone in this story were beautiful *chefs kiss* if only that alpha wasn’t a pos then I would’ve praised his beauty but he’s rotten from the inside and I’m glad he died <3
Cigarettes and Chocolate

Mc runs out of the estate and goes to a fountain that is said to make your wishes come true. He wishes duke would love him and then the younger version of the duke comes and fucks him. Present duke finds them and he gets jealous. Younger duke is confused at what’s so special about MC and Present duke tells him to “find Alois” and he’ll see why he’s so special. The end. Pretty good story and I love older men (:
Romance, But Not Romantic
AHH SO FLUFF!!!! Finally a story with no misunderstandings or rape or cheating just wholesome and refreshing <3 Mc was a beta, but due to stress from work he turns into an omega. He blames it all on his TL — who is a dominant alpha. After a while he asks ML to help him regulate his pheromones and ML mistakes it as sexually. Then MC can’t get ML out of his head no matter how hard he tries. During this there’s a guy stalking MC and spreading his disgusting pheromones every time he’s around MC. ML and MC start to investigate and brings them closer. Eventually stalker is caught and MC and ML live happily ever after! I hope they have a miracle child <3
A Room Without Window
A good story about the apocalypse. Honestly too tired to summarize this so I’ll summarize the summarization. Mc forgets apocalypse, think ML is evil, tries to get out but finds out world is apocalypse. Mc sad and mad. ML physiologically 10 year old. ML strong physically because parents raised him to be apocalypse trained. They love happy in apocalypse paradise.
