How to Tame a Snake: The Weasel’s Case

“P-Please... give me a chance. I-I like you, Mr. Kang.” In a world where humans and anthropomorphs coexist, discrimination isn’t just common—it’s an everyday reality. Yueul, a weasel anthropomorph, is drowning in debt after being deceived by his ex-boyfriend into committing illegal acts. Prejudice against anthropomorphs makes stability impossible, as he’s fired from one job after another. Then, an unexpected opportunity arises: if Yueul can work alongside Wooheon, a black mamba anthropomorph, and “fix” his abrasive personality, Wooheon’s older brother promises to pay off all of Yueul’s debts. “Thank you for the offer. I’m not sure if I can meet your standards, but I’ll do my best.” Terrified of black mambas but even more terrified of his crushing debt, Yueul reluctantly accepts. Yet on his very first day, he’s already teetering on the edge of being fired. Desperate to keep the job, Yueul blurts out a reckless lie—that he likes Wooheon and wants to stay by his side. But Wooheon, fully aware of Yueul’s lie, retracts the dismissal with a twist: he suggests they live together, determined to push Yueul into quitting on his own. As if that weren’t bad enough, Yueul soon discovers Wooheon’s unusual way of managing stress: sex. And the room assigned to Yueul? It happens to be Wooheon’s designated “sex-only” space. “S-So if I use that room, does that mean you can’t have sex...?” “Why? Do you want to take their place?” “...If you’re okay with being with a guy... then I’m fine with it.” With Wooheon’s perfectionism driving him to collapse under extreme stress, Yueul wants to help—but definitely not like this! Still, the fear of exposing his lie about liking Wooheon keeps Yueul tangled in his own deception, desperately trying to maintain the facade. Knowing Yueul’s confession is a lie, Wooheon relentlessly pushes him further, testing how long he can endure. What started as a desperate lie to escape his debts has thrown Yueul into a chaotic power struggle. Can he survive life under the same roof with Wooheon and somehow tame his impossible personality? #BL #Fantasy #Modern #Anthropomorph Text copyright ⓒ 2024 by Spicychili All right reserved.

Fates entangled: Tied by a red string, Linked by Blood

He was born different, and he did not want the throne. But sometimes, life is all about fate, and inevitability. Or a grandpa whose schemes seem to extend beyond his grave. . . . Their first meeting? She broke into his apartment and tied him to a chair. Of course she got what she wanted, but not the last laugh, ending up tied to him in what could only be called a forced engagement. After all, only if she was his other half should she share the misfortune that seems to plague his life, right? Only then would he care enough, right? So… “Gramps– Old man, you have screwed me over.” “Of course not.” “But–” “No but. You are my favorite grandson, how can I bear to do that? I only want what is the best for you.” “You tied me to the woman who broke into my house, tied me to a chair, and tried to torture me! And you say that is the best for me?” “Oh, don't overdramatize things, grandson. We both know you just played along.” “...” “Anyway, the red string has already been tied. There is nothing that can be done anymore.” “Gramps–” “Shuuut, go away. I’m already dead, stop bothering me.” “Gramps–” “There, there… Go, fate is waiting for you.” “Let it be damned, I don't care!!!” “Hehehe… You will come to thank me later.” "ARGHHHHH!!! DAMN YOU, OLD MAN!!!” _ _ _ _ _ _ There are many ways to arrange a marriage, and there are many ways for elders to control rebellious juniors. Alex doesn't want to get engaged? It doesn't matter. Tie his fate together with Sharon's, and throw them into a situation where they can't go their own separate ways. He doesn't want to be a good blood-drinker nor fight to change his own fate? Nothing can motivate better than love. His past scars? They can be erased. His empty heart? It can be filled. His smirking mask? It can be cracked. He just needs the right person, and it is her. It all starts with her breaking into his apartment, knocking him out, and tying him to a chair. Yes, it is as simple as that.

Pillow of Hearts: A tale between the warm hug and cold coffee

Moon Young Jae’s homophobic family considered him a disgrace and held his freedom in their clutch. Even with being obedient, he was not free from their abuse. Young Jae was almost blinded and crippled by his father when he stood up for himself for the first time. Left to bleed and die, luckily, he did have a family who wanted to save him. It was twin cousins, who were disowned long before him, who saved him. Sad and hopeless, Young Jae became curious when he met his cousins’ friend, who understood him better than anyone, even without words. Curiosity got the best of him, and he ended by handing his heart, love and soul over a plater as a price. Slowly, Young Jae fell in love with everything about and around Min Jun and eventually fell for the man. Calculative Wang Min Jun entered Young Jae’s life accidentally. He challenged Young Jae's belief with a warm smile and flipped Young Jae’s world upside down. Min Jun read Young Jae like an open book. He planned to get over the little crush he had on his seniors' cousin brother but failed miserably. Min Jun did not like the often-visited ‘frown’ between those beautiful eyebrows and even the always singing of ‘sigh’ through those sinful lips. Min Jun made it his mission to change it only to fall for everything about Young Jae. Wang Min Jun carried his share of baggage, but he was well-prepared to meet the demons from the past head-on. But Young Jae became a mess whenever his past demons decided to pay a visit. He realised he did not have to face anything alone as he has a wonderful boyfriend who cherishes everything about him. Both faced their past demons and trauma together. When a person betrayed by a family fell in love with a person who holds his family above everything, sparks flew, and hearts soared in happiness. Will their story has a harmonious bell, or would it be a sea of misery? Teaser: Files were shattered all over Min Jun’s bed, and his laptop was placed on the bedside table. It chimed once in a while, indicating a new email for him to check. The work was piling more and more as he was diligently finishing it. Young Jae walked into his boyfriend’s bedroom to witness his handsome lover working hard. "Jun Jun! Are you busy?" Even though Young Jae did not want to disturb his lover, he knew he needed some help to impress his boss. "Never for you, love. Tell you what you need?" Min Jun did not lift his head from the file he was going through, but the warmth in his voice reached Young Jae's heart without fail. "Do you have a minute to help me in reviewing my monthly internship report? I have to present to our boss tomorrow morning." Young Jae pouted as he asked. Min Ju looked at his adorable tokki and smiled mischievously. "You are brave, asking your superior to help you sneakily. I can't do it for free. I need a huge bribe to help you. What are you planning to offer?" "Be serious. You have too much work to do." Young Jae chided his shameless boyfriend, who never failed to seize every opportunity to make him moan and groan as he takes him to the pleasurable heaven. "Exactly. I have too much work to do. If I am taking my time to help you, I need something in return. Something so tempting that I don’t mind cramping lots of things later." Min Jun smiled like a devil he was as he grabbed Young Jae towards him. The little rabbit who fell into the cunning wolf's lap did not even get a chance to protest as he was devoured breathlessly. Young Jae forgot why he entered the wolf's lair altogether. Min Jun pushed the files away to make space for his little rabbit to lay down comfortably. Young Jae’s report was long forgotten as a treacherous hand started to caress him again under the shirt as a sinful sound filled the room.

(BL)Capturing Blue

In the quiet corridors of an ordinary high school, Kin is the kind of boy everyone admires. Gentle, attentive, and effortlessly charming, he carries a reputation for kindness that makes teachers trust him and students adore him. To most people he seems almost perfect—handsome, soft-spoken, and warm. Only one detail unsettles those who look too closely: his eyes. They are dark, bottomless things, like empty space where light disappears. For years Kin has lived carefully behind that pleasant mask, patiently observing the people around him while searching for something only he seems to understand—a color he calls the “perfect blue,” a spark of happiness in someone’s eyes that he has never quite been able to find. Until the day he notices Sute. Sute is everything Kin’s polished world ignores. Quiet, withdrawn, and endlessly bullied, he drifts through school like a ghost no one wants to acknowledge. At home things are even worse; the boy is trapped in a life of neglect and cruelty, his parents treating him as if he were something disposable. Yet once—just once—Kin catches sight of Sute smiling, and in that fleeting moment Sute’s icy blue eyes light up with a brilliance Kin has never seen before. To Kin, that color becomes an obsession. Soon after, Sute vanishes. The police believe he has been kidnapped, launching an investigation that quickly spreads through the town and the school. Flyers appear. Teachers whisper. Students speculate about what kind of monster could have taken such a fragile boy. But the truth is stranger than any rumor. Sute was not taken. He was thrown away. And Kin was waiting. Behind the locked door of Kin’s quiet home, far from the cruelty Sute once knew, the boy begins a new life as the captive of the one person who ever noticed him. Kin calls what he did kidnapping, fully aware that the world would see him as a criminal. Yet Sute, for the first time in his life, finds warmth there—warm meals, clean clothes, careful hands tending to his wounds, and someone who watches him as if he is precious. Grateful and overwhelmed by the affection he has never known, Sute makes a vow that surprises even Kin himself: if this is captivity, then he will devote his life to it. To Kin. To the person who saved him from a world that never wanted him. But love built on obsession is fragile, and happiness that grows in secrecy rarely stays hidden forever. As detectives begin to close in on the mystery of Sute’s disappearance, other dangers begin to surface—people whose curiosity, desire, or cruelty threaten to expose the delicate life the two boys have created. Kin, whose gentle reputation hides a far darker nature, is willing to do anything to keep Sute by his side… even things that cannot be forgiven. Meanwhile Sute, once a victim of abandonment, finds himself tangled in a bond that is equal parts devotion, dependency, and something disturbingly close to love. In a story that blurs the lines between protection and possession, innocence and obsession, two broken boys attempt to build a fragile world of their own—one where happiness exists only as long as no one breaks down the door. But when the outside world inevitably comes searching, the question becomes impossible to ignore: Is this a rescue waiting to happen… or the only home Sute has ever truly wanted?
