Marvin, who overcame the misfortune of being born a "rut baby" and served as a secret agent for the National Security Intelligence Bureau, gets caught up in a conspiracy during a mission and is forcibly transformed.

Hiding his identity, he now works at a rural hotel, quietly awaiting his return. One day, a prosecutor named Jang Jinwoo appears before him.

For some reason, despite Marvin’s lack of pheromones, Jinwoo seems to know from the start that Marvin is an omega...

“I’ve been curious about something for a while now. If you work at a place like this, do you get free heat relief services?”

“…Excuse me?”

Marvin reflexively responded to the sudden question.

“I don’t think someone with a partner would leave you in this state, so I figured maybe you handled it within the establishment.”

“I’m not sure what you mean…”

“I’m talking about you, Manager. You’re in heat, aren’t you? Do you really think the smell of cigarettes is enough to cover it up?”

At that moment, Marvin’s face stiffened. His black pupils, hidden in the shadows, trembled slightly. <<less

Jeong Yiwon was living his life running a guesthouse at Hae-un-dang, an old traditional house overlooking the sea.... more>>

Just as he was on the verge of selling it off for less than its worth, with his father’s debt tied to Hae-un-dang, he meets a man named Cha Seokju who comes to the house.

“Are you alone?”

“…Excuse me?”

“This guesthouse, I mean. I asked if you’re running the business by yourself.”

At first, he thought it was just a passing encounter,

“It’s hot. Got anything to drink?”

“There’s water.”

“I thought this was a guesthouse. You don’t sell coffee?”

“I don’t.”

“Give me water, then.”

And next, he thought the man would be a guest who would stay for a short while and leave. Until the man made a tempting offer.

“Give me a room.”

“……”

“Why the silence? Did you go out of business in the last few seconds?”

“…No.”

“Then take a customer.”

Yiwon, who was desperate for every penny, starts to show interest in the man’s offer.

“How many days will you be staying?”

“How would I know that?”

“I can only give you a room if you tell me a rough estimate.”

“Then let’s just say about a month.”

“Huh?”

“You don’t know what a month is? 30 days.”

In the end, he lets him into Hae-un-dang… <<less

However, Sjoerd, known for his cruel methods but incomparable abilities, ended up harming countless people during a sudden rampage in a battle against monsters. Consequently, he met his death at the hands of Prince Reuschers, the Crown Prince's rival and the strongest Guide.

"There will never be anyone as terrible as you in this world."

At the brink of death, Sjoerd reflects on his life. Even the kind-hearted prince—who was liked by everyone—despised him. And his Guide, the Crown Prince, regretted everything and abandoned him in his final moments.

Sjoerd wakes up five years in the past.

Doubting this unbelievable reality, Sjoerd seeks a different life to prevent his rampage. He approached Reuschers, who had yet to awaken his power, and tried to talk to him, but then.

He starts to realize things he never knew in his past life... <<less

Choi Soogyeom, a nameless actor who has been drifting between dramas and theater for five years.... more>>

He barely manages to get an audition for a famous director's film, hoping to land even a small role, but before his most confident acting is even over, he receives the harsh criticism that "he can't use acting that just imitates others" and fails.

While trying to soothe his bitter heart with alcohol with a friend, he watches a talk show starring the top star he admired, Yoon Yichae, and learns that the actor Yoon Sookyung, who has been continuously landing leading roles in TV dramas despite her somewhat lacking appearance and terrible acting skills, is Yoon Yichae's younger brother.

Choi Soogyeom feels considerable disappointment and inferiority at the fact that the star he admired pulled strings to get his younger brother the leading role in the drama. Moreover, Choi Soogyeom discovers an article stating that Yoon Sookyung has been decided for the role he auditioned for, and falls into deep skepticism and despair.

However, not long after that, Yoon Sookyung suddenly dies in an accident on set.

This incident, which was clearly unrelated to Choi Soogyeom, unexpectedly twists his life in a big way... <<less

The popular actor 'Kang Do-jun's' reality show project, 'Country Occupation,' where he spends ten days in the countryside. Somehow, the house he is staying in for ten days turned out to be mine.

In an unexpected situation, dirty clothes I hadn't had a chance to wash were scattered everywhere, and dishes and bottles from the food and drinks from yesterday were rolling around. In short, it was like a pigsty.

Actor Kang Do-jun asked with a trembling look in his eyes.

"...Do you live like this?"
"……Well, yeah."

At sixteen, a sweet first love turned into poison by the age of twenty-nine.... more>>

Twenty-nine-year-old Im Ji-ho has nothing to his name. He dropped out of college, has no job, and while others his age are working and building their lives, Im Ji-ho remains at home.

The only badge of honor he possesses is this: that Cha Jeong-won, a national shooting athlete who has been with him since he was sixteen, is his boyfriend.

But Cha Jeong-won doesn’t love Im Ji-ho.

In fact, he never did. Not even once.

There is only one reason Jeong-won keeps Ji-ho by his side.

A boy who survived a horrific battlefield—Baek Sahyeon.... more>>

Having lost even his master, he arrives in the mighty nation of Pasa, driven only by vengeance.

There, he becomes the teacher of Dan Ijae, the 8th prince who has no interest in the fierce struggle for succession.

To earn the king’s favor, Sahyeon must teach an insufferable student—one who disrespects his teacher and cares little for learning.

Even if doing so means shattering the life he tried to lead, away from the royal feud.

And yet, somehow…

“Strange… Why is it that when you're near, that scent disappears?”

The more he learns about Dan Ijae…

“Yeonju is not a place fit for living.”

Sahyeon's eyes stung. He closed them and squeezed out the tears left clinging to the corners.

“It’s far too cold.”

…the more he begins to desire something different.

“I cannot live like that. No, I must not live like that.”

He must not waver from the warmth of kindness—

For he carries the weight of those who died by his side.

But what if it’s not kindness?

What if Dan Ijae truly deserves to carry out Sahyeon’s revenge?

Then… might he be the one Sahyeon could stand beside—

And look upon the throne together? <<less

This is inside a boys’ love simulation game where Jung Yi-dam is the protagonist.

“My life smells like fishy water after the rainy season.”... more>>

With parents whose combined criminal records total twelve offenses, Cha Seonjae’s rough life has stripped him of his conscience, leaving only shamelessness.

But one day, a boy resembling the summer sun appears before him.

At the start of a new semester, Seonjae suddenly gains a new seatmate. No matter how prickly Seonjae behaves, Leekwon keeps approaching with a warm, unwavering smile.

“‘I like you’ simply means that I like you.”

As a strange, hazy happiness gradually blossoms into first love, the gray world drags Seonjae back into the mud once again.

Seven years later—after misunderstandings and wounds drove them apart—Seonjae, now working as a cleaner, is wrongfully accused of theft. In the worst possible moment, he reunites with Leekwon, now a professional volleyball player.

“Cha Seonjae.”

Shin Leekwon no longer loves me.

[You are the new constellation of realm #381jh051.]
As if it wasn’t enough to have entered the world of a novel, I became a constellation.

To make matters worse, the guy who was stuck in the elevator with me was the problem.

This man is the enemy of mankind, someone who turned evil in the novel and destroyed the world.

‘Wasn’t one of the reasons why he turned evil was that he wasn’t chosen by the constellations?’

But now that this has happened, I have no choice but to sponsor Baek Tae-beom and get out of here!

Kang Jin-han (27, su), who has never once experienced dating in his life, installs an online dating app on a whim and ends up meeting Cha Jeong-yul (32, gong).

Months later, at their first in-person meeting, Jin-han is rejected the moment they lay eyes on each other.

“Sorry, but Jin-han-ssi, you’re not my type.”

Jeong-yul firmly expresses his unwillingness to meet again, revealing that Jin-han had misunderstood every question he’d been asked up until now. But Jin-han, desperate not to lose the one joy in his daily life, blurts out,

“Well, we could still have s*x, couldn’t we?!”

Unwilling to let go of Jeong-yul, Jin-han tries to negotiate any way to hold onto him.

“Hmm, my way is a bit… unconventional,” Jeong-yul replies, and Jin-han learns the real reason he’s been using the app.

“You might end up crying. Are you okay with that?”

Knowing nothing about SM, vanilla, or anything in between, Jin-han agrees to Jeong-yul’s proposal with nothing but blind faith that it’ll somehow work out. And so begins a relationship, with Jin-han completely unaware of the feverish emotions it will awaken in his heart. <<less

There are too many black companies (exploitative companies) in South Korea.... more>>

Jung Hwi-kyung, an upstanding young person in South Korea, was returning home after ending their unpaid internship when they helped a suspicious elderly woman. The elderly woman, saying it's rare to see such a kind young person these days, asked Hwi-kyung to make a wish. Without much thought, Hwi-kyung said "I want to get a job at a good place"....

Little did they know that the wish would focus on "good place" rather than "getting a job."

Who would have known there was a system where if you get hired at a black company, you return to being a job seeker again?

Grandmother... where in Korea can you even find a company that isn't a black company....

Jung Hwi-kyung, now a powerful office worker who has tried everything from small businesses, public corporations, large corporations, medium-sized companies, contract positions, permanent contract positions, temporary positions, daily work, to full-time positions, has one thing left to try.

"I will personally employ you."

"Pardon?"

"Four major insurances guaranteed, separate incentives, all meals provided, separate overtime and weekend pay."

"..."

"Full-time employment with separate holiday bonuses, freedom to use vacation days, and casual dress code."

He dreams of quitting the tiresome guide work and enjoying his new life. But something tells him it’s not going to be that easy.

* * *

“You’re such a kind person, Hyung.”

Hearing that from my ultimate bias made me feel truly proud. I puffed up my shoulders in pride.

“I’m only like that with you.”

Jihyuk tilted his head, his face filled with puzzlement as if he truly hadn’t expected that answer.

“…Only with me?”

“Of course.”

“Why am I the exception?”

“That’s…”

Jihyuk’s gaze focused entirely on my lips.

It wasn’t even a big deal to say out loud, but somehow I hesitated, feeling a little embarrassed. I swallowed lightly and continued.

“Maybe because your feelings for me… are the same as mine for you?”

Your unconditional trust in me, the way you got angry on my behalf over the unfair treatment I received, and the many small and sweet gestures of consideration you’ve shown me in various ways.

Compared to what I’ve done, I think those are more than enough in return.

Until the day I eventually leave you, I intend to do my best not to betray the precious trust you’ve given me.

Han Jihyuk widened his eyes, then broke into a radiant smile, his eyes crinkling into slits until his irises disappeared.

It was a dazzling sight, like scattering light. <<less
