younger love interests that are also kinda suspicious

some suspicious looking faces..

completed stories will be at the start of the list, newer and uncompleted stories will be towards the end

childhood friends, mutual secret feelings?
sometimes redhead does that thing when their eyes go dark and the surroundings get shady you know

secretary x boss
they have sex to save the company
he's a cunning little one isn't he? i really admire how he supports his sunbae hmm

first story:
"hyung..i won't touch you where you don't want me to..."
gay money launderer hired (kidnapped) by a younger rich business heir
ulterior motives, hidden feelings, ml is a calculative simp
second
ulterior motives, hidden identity

stalker, obsessive, develops into a co-dependent relationship
tired burned out working man x college student stalker
..i find hyunsung so hot, like he's so cool and indifferent, i would def never date someone like him but i wanna be him lol

they are in the same grade

the only thing holding their relationship together is blind love and willpower, it's an interesting story set in an interesting world, the social dynamics and implications of each type is interesting, and their actual relationship is interesting too.

i get why male leads say "interesting" a lot now, like there is literally no other word.."intriguing" makes me sound like some old english teacher or a 4th grader w a thesaurus, beguiling ew

hidden pasts, mysterious identity, back for revenge, gang fights
meaningful childhood encounter, mc is ml's idol/saviour
appropriate protectiveness, some jealousy

same grade
childhood connection, ulterior motives, tragic backstory

“Enemies” to lovers
MC's obsession of his perfect childhood rival, becomes one of hatred and jealousy, to something else...(or maybe it was always something else)
Possessiveness, obsession, hidden pasts, one-sided rivalry, manipulative, scheming
Eunsang is actually one year younger, which is perfect.
