Smut
Cottage Garden
After being buried in work for what felt like forever, Isaac finally let loose and drank a bit too much during a night out with his only real friend, James. It had been ages since he got that drunk, and when he came to the next morning in a hotel room, he wasn’t alone.
Lying beside him was Theodore — his old boarding school roommate — someone he hadn’t seen since he vanished years ago without warning. Their reunion didn’t feel casual or coincidental. Something about Theodore’s sudden reappearance didn’t sit right, and the way he acted… it wasn’t exactly how an old friend would behave.
Why did he come back now? What does he really want from Isaac?
Dual Shooter
“Here’s my suggestion: Let’s have sexual intercourse whenever I want to.”
Han-gyeol Jo glanced at his computer, paying attention to the monitor that displayed the above words and then scanned his deserted work area to ensure that no one saw him reading it. Typical behavior from a male who is living a double life.
Daytime: assistant manager. Professional. Well-dressed. An employee who arrives early, leaves late, and never gives anyone a reason to take notice.
Nighttime: BJ (Boy Jock). One of the most prominent figures in the worldwide live webcasting industry. Openly gay and proud of it. Loved by a fan base (his “dudes”) that spans three different continents. A type of attention that could never intersect with his day job.
He has spent…..years constructing strong boundaries between these two identities. Carefully and very purposefully. In his mind there are two separate realities; there are no connections between them.
Omega Dong-sik
At the edge of death, the only thing that flashes before your eyes is how shitty and filthy your life really was.Park Dongsik is a straight-up thug who works as a debt collector for the loan shark Moon Hocheol. He’s got zero mercy, zero tears, zero loyalty. If you owe money, he’ll do whatever it takes — even yank his pants down and piss in your living room to get it. The only thing that gets him going is watching porn with guys in sharp suits.One night he’s parked in his car, jerking off to a video, when this insanely beautiful stranger walks up out of nowhere. The guy crouches down, asks for a light, then just… walks off. Dongsik can’t stop staring. The man is standing on the edge of a breakwater like he’s about to disappear. Then he jumps.Without thinking, Dongsik dives in after him. The water is pitch black. He can’t find the guy. As he tries to swim back up, something grabs his ankle and drags him straight down into the darkness.Dongsik’s life had always been trash. Abandoned by his parents, beaten in an orphanage, ran away, finally found his dad again — only for the bastard to steal every cent he’d saved and vanish. He’s survived more near-death moments than he can count working for the loan shark. His only dying wish was simple: “Next life, just let me be born rich and live easy.”When he opens his eyes, he’s not in heaven or hell. He’s lying in a luxurious private hospital room. He looks in the mirror… and it’s not Park Dongsik staring back.It’s the beautiful stranger he tried to save.Before he can even process what the hell is happening, another man walks in claiming to be his guardian. He looks at Dongsik like they’ve known each other forever, leans in, kisses him without warning, and softly says:“Welcome back… sister-in-law.”

Concealment
Hector never thought his father’s final legacy would amount to more than marble and myth.
A well-known master sculptor in the art world, Hector’s father passed away only days before the unveiling of a highly anticipated work he had created—Minor: David. As Hector wanders through his father’s things, putting all the pieces together, he finds a hidden away villa from the world. What he discovers is life-changing.
Inside, Hector finds Enoch—a subdued, ungainly young man whose presence is unsettling, but captivating all the same. Hector cannot remember him—he knows nothing about him. But the likeness is uncanny: Enoch is the spitting image of the statue his father had secretly carved.
But Enoch is not a muse by choice.
Caught between grief and obsession, Hector’s fascination makes a dangerously intense turn. Enoch feels that monstrosity emerging, and he knows he has to run. What follows is a dangerous game—split between a chase and a descent into the primal instincts that resides in each one of us. In this mute struggle of predator versus prey, only one truth remains:
Art reveals the soul…but it can also expose the monster lurking within it.

God’s Peace
Joo Incheol thought he was going places. As a loyal aide to Lee Myeongseon, a rising political figure and contenders for ministers, he was on a secure path – until the rivalries within the campaign began to swallow him whole.
To prove he was worth keeping around and to reestablish himself, Incheol was given an important task: to figure how to diffuse a redevelopment dispute in the problematic Jungang district of Songmun City. The redevelopment plans were politically sensitive, publicly condemned and practically impossible. Incheol was aware that his entire future hinged on this case.
His only real lead? Ahn Pyeonghwa, the owner of a decrepit fitness center, found in the geography of the redevelopment conflict. Also problematic? Ahn Pyeonghwa is his neighbor – but not one he knows very well.
When Incheol reaches out for his support, Pyeonghwa agrees. However:
“Hit me.”
Drawn from every direction by ambition, uncertainty, and baffling request from a neighbor, Incheol is caught in a complex situation in which the very rules of political negotiation no longer apply, and where the distinctions between politics, personal interests, and pain, become fundamentally blurred.
Quantum Matter Exploration Journal [Uncut]
Han Woojin, a reclusive scientist with an obsession for laboratory experimentation, has a reputation for being unable to control his physical responses whenever he makes an important scientific breakthrough; this is why he’s been given the nickname of “Mad Woojin”. His search is not motivated by greed or any preconceived notion of fate, since Han travels alone to Deokmu Mountain solely to see if the stories circulating about the existence of a goblin that grants wishes and gives away gold are accurate. While on this expedition, however, Han doesn’t uncover treasure, but rather meets Baekbaek who happens to be the god of wealth. Woojin is determined to treat Baekbaek as though he’s the rarest specimen known to man by conducting many experiments on him until they’ve both reached their limit.
