Summary
"Hongjoong swallows.
Here he is, in front of a god, and supposed to say no.
But that's the thing.
He could easily say no to a god.
He could never say no to Seonghwa.
Seonghwa is yes. Yes, all the time."
Hongjoong's best friend Seonghwa is a god, worshipped as the Moon Goddess reborn. Hongjoong has been chosen to be his personal attendant—he takes an oath to serve him, protect him, and worship him the way a god is supposed to be worshipped. There's just one little problem that cannot be longer ignored, neither by Seonghwa, nor Hongjoong himself.
Hongjoong is desperately, completely, stupidly, and irrevocably in love with him. And he damn well knows he shouldn't.

Summary
Kim Hongjoong is a CEO. A rich and overworked man who ends up in a seaside town after working himself into a hospital bed. What he doesn't expect is his quiet, beautiful neighbor with soft cardigans, a calico cat and a tendency to hand him tea without him asking.
Seonghwa has always been alone but not lonely. At least, not until Hongjoong shows him what company feels like.
A story of tea kettles, slow mornings, yarn and learning that maybe, just maybe, you don't have to choose between loving someone and loving your job.

Summary
It’s happened enough times by now that it feels like a running joke. Seonghwa throws out a complaint about never being praised properly. Hongjoong meets it with an easy grin and just enough teasing in his tone to keep it from tipping into anything serious. The members laugh, the staff laughs too, and the moment passes like it always does.
And afterward, Seonghwa leaves everything exactly as it is. He straightens his posture, gathers whatever dignity remains, and pretends—very convincingly, he thinks—that he has absolutely no deeper emotional investment in the situation whatsoever.
Seonghwa tells himself he is above fishing for compliments. This belief lasts right up until Hongjoong is the one withholding them.
