If there is another lifetime... let's meet at sunset again. -Kyler kengnamping

When Domundi's golden pair Ryujin and Patji finally become official, everyone believes they are living a perfect romance beneath flashing cameras and screaming fans. Ryujin loves loudly, fearlessly, and with his whole heart. Patji loves quietly, carrying every feeling like a secret pressed against his ribs. But while Ryujin's natural charm and effortless affection captivate everyone around him, cruel comparisons from fans slowly begin poisoning Patji's heart. Too shy to express love publicly and too terrified of becoming a burden, Patji starts believing the person Ryujin truly deserves could never be him. As misunderstandings grow heavier beneath glittering stages and beautiful smiles, the distance between them threatens to quietly destroy everything they built together. Yet sometimes love is not about finding someone perfect. Sometimes it is about finding the one person whose arms still feel like home after the storm. A tender, aching story about insecurity, devotion, yearning, and a love so deep it survives even the silence between heartbeats.

The richest thing you ever owned was your heart. -Eli

For years, there have only been two names at the top of the rankings: #1 Thee. #2 Wave. Wave is tired of losing. Thee is tired of pretending. When a forced project traps them together for an entire semester, old rivalries begin to crack and so do the walls around Thee's carefully controlled life. But loving Wave was never part of the plan, especially when one kiss could cost him everything. A story about academic rivals, hidden feelings, film cameras, late-night walks, family expectations, and finding a home in someone when the world refuses to understand you.

The trouble maker Ryujin and his President Patji.

Patji has loved Ryujin for five years...quietly, constantly, and without being fully understood. To Ryujin, their closeness has always been normal. Just friendship. Just something easy. Until Patji decides to let go. Only when the space between them grows, Ryujin begins to realize that what he thought was ordinary... was never meant to be. A soft and emotional story about unspoken love, timing, and realizing feelings a little too late.

"C-can I t-top?" Patji asked. "Sure," Ryujin replied easily, his voice smooth and entirely unfazed. He shifted his grip on Patji's waist, his large hands sliding down to cup the back of Patji's thighs, effortlessly shifting their positions until Patji was sitting directly straddling Ryujin's lap, looking down at him. "You can be on top of me while I'm inside you. No problem."

Painted Hearts, Crimson Hands follows the story of Ryujin, a feared mafia boss, and Patji, a quiet university art student, whose lives unexpectedly intertwine on campus. What begins as an unlikely friendship slowly blossoms into a heartfelt romance as they overcome bullying, loss, and the dangers of Ryujin's past. With the support of their close friends, they discover that love, trust, and found family can overcome even the darkest obstacles.

P" I like you!" "For a long time, from the very first moment I saw you... you were my anchor, my inspiration! I did everything. I changed everything about myself, all for you, Phi. But now... now I've realized that the most important thing I should do is tell you honestly that I like you!"

An Arranged Marriage. A Dangerous World. A Love They Never Expected.
