Before the ring hits the hardwood floor, before six voices freeze in stunned silence, there's a slow unravelling no one notices. Families don't break in a single moment - they wear down in quiet places, in small ways, in the spaces between laughter. Lee Chan has always been the dependable maknae, the one who bounces back, the one who laughs even when the joke is about him. It's easy to assume he's fine. It's easy to miss the signs when he isn't. None of them sees the crack forming. None of them realise how close he is to breaking. Not until the moment it finally happens. This is the story of what leads to that break - and the way seven people learn how to hold each other together again. [Cross-posted on AO3 under the same username]

"master, wake up. you have to get ready for school." "jeonghannie~ i told you to call me seungcheol already! we are friends!" jeonghan is seungcheol's personal butler, but before that, they were very close friends. but they started falling...

Seungcheol was deeply and openly in love with Joshua, and everyone knew it. Their parents had already decided on their marriage, and both the Alpha and the gentle Omega were ready to spend their lives together. Their bond was pure, mutual, and steady - the kind of love people felt grateful to witness. But Jeonghan, the master manipulator he always was, refused to accept it. Driven by jealousy and obsession, Jeonghan destroyed the wedding with his wicked schemes. One night of lies was enough to twist the truth, stain Seungcheol's image, and break Joshua's heart. What Jeonghan did forced both families into chaos. His actions didn't just stop a wedding - they shattered destinies. Joshua was pushed into marrying Seokmin, Seungcheol's calm and distant brother, while Jeonghan used threats and false evidence to trap Seungcheol into a marriage he never wanted. Seungcheol despised Jeonghan to the core, hated his presence, and refused to spare him even a single glance. But tradition came first, and duty always won. And so, the impossible happened. The twins married the opposite person they loved. What should have been a blessed union turned into a curse - and the problems only grew from there.

Yoon Jeonghan was loved by everyone-but that was the lie. On his birthday, he thought he was surrounded by thirteen hearts that beat only for him. Thirteen souls who whispered promises of forever. Instead, he was met with silence, betrayal, and a carefully orchestrated humiliation that shattered his trust and spirit. One by one, each member of SEVENTEEN broke him-some out of jealousy, some out of fear, some out of love twisted into something dangerous. When Jeonghan disappeared that night, no one knew where he went. Or if he would ever return. But a year later, the invitations arrive. Another birthday. Another gathering. Another chance. Jeonghan is back. But he's no longer the angel they once adored. This time, it's not a party. It's a reckoning. And love might not be enough to save them.

Ari is a typical quiet girl, only focusing on her studies after a boy plays with her. After that, no boy has been capable of getting near her. One day, one of the popular guys, Seungcheol asked her out on a date, but she doesn't know the story behind.

A Jeongcheol Shortstory

Velvet Trigger- sleek, seductive, and dangerous as hell. In the underbelly of Seoul, justice wears a badge. And obsession wears a smile. Detective Choi Seungcheol follows rules like scripture-cold, unflinching, untouchable. But what he doesn't know that he's being followed. Watched. Hunted. Not by a criminal. Not by a case. By Yoon Jeonghan. The mafia's secret. Seoul's ghost. A man born of silk lies and red-soaked hands. And he's not interested in running. "You don't know me yet, officer. But you will. I'll be the reason you lock your doors. And also the reason you won't want to." When obsession turns personal, when touches are threats and kisses feel like crimes-what happens when the man sworn to protect becomes the one who needs saving? Or worse-wants to be ruined. **Velvet Trigger** is a dark, slow-burn spiral into forbidden desire, blurred morality, and the intoxicating ache of being wanted by the one person you should never touch.

Love and betrayal two sides of the same coin. Jeonghan and Seungcheol were never meant to be in each other's lives again. Not after everything that happened. Yet fate pulls them back together, bound by a Rope neither of them truly wanted and a past neither of them can forget. Under the surface of their cold stares and sharp words lies something more dangerous than hatred unspoken truths, buried wounds, and a pull neither of them can resist. But in a game where loyalty is at stake and revenge is inevitable, who will be the first to fall? Revenge is a slow poison, and where betrayal is a wound that never truly heals.. How much is too much before everything shatters? Some things were never meant to be forgiven. And some hearts were never meant to be saved.

Jeonghan and Seungcheol get tangled in an arranged marriage. How will they survive the ups and downs?

Seungcheol and Jeonghan had always been there for each other through the chaos of rehearsals, the late night talks, and the silence that only best friends could understand. But lately, the touch of their hands lingered a little too long, and their shared moments felt heavier, charged with something unspoken. What started as a way to relieve the stress of their lives, comforting each other in ways they didn't talk about, began to blur the lines. It was supposed to be just physical, just an escape from everything else. But somewhere in the midst of it, something deeper was beginning to stir, something neither of them was ready to face. The question was no longer about what they were doing, but what would happen once they realized it wasn't just about pleasure anymore. [ MINORS DNI ] 🔞 [ MATURE CONTENT ]
