Summary
"Are you scared?" Jeongguk asks, and though his tone is gentle, the subtle tilt of his lips forms a grin that shows what little sympathy he'd have if Jimin actually were. "It would be natural to be afraid of someone who could do something like this," he points out, motioning to the body on the slab.
"Allegedly," Jimin corrects in an unimpressed monotone. "You are maintaining your innocence, after all."
That smile widens, showing teeth.
"Of course," Jeongguk agrees with an incline of his head, the mask he takes on exuding charm when he agrees, "Allegedly."

Jimin is a Medical Examiner for the Offices of Chief Medical Examiner for the city of Seoul, looking into the death of the youngest sibling of three, and only daughter of one of the richest families in South Korea. As bodies begin to pile up, the investigation leads him to someone already close to the case.
Her brother, Jeon Jeongguk.

Summary
Remember, all the government posters say, it was the Marked that destroyed the world.
The Old World was lost to famine and calamity and a new, harsher one has risen in its place. A city divided into sectors, ruled by a king and his chaebol court, where the Marked struggle to eke out a living in poverty and oppression, and one mistake can get you sanctioned forever - lost to hard labor in the factories and greenhouses or to life as a companion trapped in the gilded apartments of the inner sector elite.
But a revolution is stirring in the shadows and everything is about to change.
(Or: Hoseok runs an underground radio program; Namjoon and Seokjin dream of building a better world from their golden cage; Taehyung and Jimin desperately search for lost family; and Yoongi and Jungkook are just trying to survive.)

Summary
Jeon Jungkook is an aspiring Knight Scholar with only one step left between himself and true Knight Scholarship: his treatise voyage. Jungkook’s chosen treatise topic? Dragons. Specifically the legendary “Council of Dragons.” He wants an eyewitness account. But with tensions with dragons at an all-time high, his professors warn him of the dangers involved in pursuing that topic. But Jungkook is not afraid of danger, not when the risk is worth the reward, and anyway he has his own reasons for his interest in dragons. But what happens when Jungkook’s journey leads him into the hearts of a six membered clan of high dragons in the midst of preparing for a possible war with humankind? Can Jungkook somehow bridge the gap between human and dragon, and between heart and home?

Summary
He opens the slip, blinks at the name scrawled on it and clears his throat once before tapping the mic in front of him and announces the name.
“From Daegu, Kim Taehyung.”The winner. That’s him. Kim Taehyung. Kim Taehyung is the winner of the lottery and is now the fifteenth and final candidate in the cut-throat competition to determine the next heir of Korea.
Taehyung thinks he has his life all planned out until he’s unexpectedly put in the competition of a lifetime for the throne of Korea, alongside 14 other participants from Sejung Academy that are much more experienced than him, having trained for this their entire lives. Including the arrogant and equally entrancing prodigy Jeon Jeongguk, who will do anything to get it.
