Four lives. Four secrets. One world that refuses to let them breathe. Seonghwa has spent years pretending he's fine, but nothing about him is fine - not when his little brother Wooyoung wakes up every day with no memory and slips into a whole different personality the moment he hears a single drop of water. Some days he thinks he's a woman. Some days he becomes a helpless child who only knows one word: "hyung." No one knows what broke him. No one knows what Seonghwa is trying so hard to forget. Across the city, Yunho counts every second like a prisoner. Married to a man who treats him like property, he survives only because of one promise: when his younger brother Felix finally finishes school, Yunho will run. He'll disappear. He'll take his bruises and his hope and vanish before his husband can lock him up forever. And then there's Yeosang - the boy who doesn't bleed but still suffers. His husband never hits him. He doesn't have to. Fear is enough. Silence is enough. Prison doesn't always have bars. Four broken boys. Four cages. One past that refuse to stay buried. Their stories collide under the shadow of DF4 - the most feared men in their past and present. the ones who don't know how to love without destroying, the ones who turn every touch into a toxic obsession, the one who dont know what is love, the one who think control makes you stronger. And once these boys enter DF4's world... there's no going back. Main ship: Seongjoong minyun woosan jongsang ⚠️🚫

FUCK YOU WP. Anyways, reupload, you all know the drill, if you're new: This will mostly contain Yungi (ESPECIALLY Yungi, damn), Seongjoong Woosan and Jongsang one shots. But also other ships. 🔞🔞🔞 Will contain smut mostly, angst and fluff occasionally, or a mix of all three. Will also contain other ships, but I'll explain more in the first chapter. Please make sure to read the warnings in the first chapter. 1st in #atz

"Watch it Mr.Criminal, I may devote myself to saving lives but I'll gladly take yours." "Go ahead, bunny. I'm all yours." ---------------°•°---------------- Secrets were always meant to stay buried. Atleast that's what Seonghwa thought. ---------------°•°---------------- Acting upon his dispatch, Seonghwa never thought that he'd be dragged aboard the criminal life. Hongjoong, more commonly known as Monarch, had posed a threat to many. His unwavering threats, his commitment to his terrors and worst of all, his erotic behaviour all captured Seonghwa by surprise. A knife wound. A knife wound and suddenly all that Seonghwa thought was real, came tumbling down. A glance. A single glance and suddenly Hongjoong was obsessed. Gathering information, secrets and everything inbetween, he had managed to worm himself into the paramedic's life despite his consistent whining. And now, with haunting of his brother's death, Seonghwa is forced into hunting for the truth. Of course, Hongjoong was there too. So, with drunken whispers, faux truths, misplaced glances, and stalking footsteps, Seonghwa is forced to solve his past alongside his worst enemy, Hongjoong. Maybe, they'd always be enemies...or, maybe they'd become something far more dangerous for Seonghwa's liking. ---------------°•°---------------- ateez!racerAU Matz centered ♡
