69 Street, Tomorrow Island
Cheolwoo loses his inhibitors, in a bag while on vacation. He ends up having to work at a drug store to earn money to buy more. While working there, the local milkman, Dylan, shows up. Soon afterwards, Cheolwoo gets off work and the two end up walking together. Upon arriving at Cheolwoo's temporary living quarters, the two realize that Dylan may have found Cheolwoo's missing bag. Cheolwoo goes into heat. Dylan pushes Cheolwoodown onto a table, and rapes him! Then, Dylan decides to go look for Cheolwoo's bag, back at Dylan's farm. On the way, he realizes just how dangerous it is for Cheolwoo to be without his meds and an escort. Meanwhile, Cheolwoo decides he can no longer wait for Dylan, and goes back to the drug store to get inhibitors, there. Dylan soon figures out where Cheolwoo has gone, and follows him. Upon finding Cheolwoo still suffering from his heat cycle, Dylan forces himself on Cheolwoo, again! I'm not into the ra look e scenes, and although Dylan is shown to appear remorseful, I think rape is an unforgivable offense. On top of which, Cheolwoo had just turned customers away at the drug store, claiming inhibitors were out of stock. So that was a lie? If CheolwooHad access to the inhibitors all the while, why wouldn't he make arrangements with his new employer to take some before his heat cycle? It is revealed, towards the end of the story, that Cheolwoo had extra strength inhibitors (so maybe the regular over-the-counter ones don't work for him? That's never established, however.) Regardless, Dylan raped Cheolwoo, twice, and the ending suggests the two will end up pursuing a relationship anyway. Nope! Too bad, though. I liked the initial idea of the Dylan character, sans rapist tendencies!

Dorobou Neko ni wa Nusumenai
Sweet Man
Very interesting story. Lee Minhoon and Hyungnim are childhood friends. Hyung realizes his attachment to Kingpin, but not his love for him. Meanwhile, Minhoon thinks he is just a concerned friend of Hyung, as Minhoon comes to the rescue, when Hyung is having medical issues. Little does Kingpin know, Hyung health issues are due to him being a vampire! Not only that, but Hyung ran away from home, 300 years ago, after a traumatic event involving his father. I wasn't clear on exactly what happened at that time. The storyline took several detours, back in time for the family drama, and tangents involving the clothing company Jihoon later works for, becoming involved with a television show and several sponsors. I could have done with less minutiae on that, and more in depth storytelling about the vampire families, and relationships. Plus, Minhoons friend Gunchan, (kin to Hyungs father) gets shot and the shooter is never revealed, nor is it made clear the severity of his injuries. Apparently, Bunch an gets shot multiple times, with silver bullets by someone involved in the plot to overthrow Hyung's father. I suspect Edric arranged the hit, but that is never brought to light. Nor is it clear exactly why Hyungs father allows himself to be shot later. Any perceived weakness on his part would make his entire house seen weak, including both his sons and Minhoon. I have yet to understand why Minhoon would even want the job of Kin manager, let alone why he would get it, and on what authority he gives himself a promotion 2 years later with no training on the first job. Plus, this is BL, not Yaoi! Any and all sex, is implied, and even the kisses are somewhat censored. There are multiple vampire bite scenes, yet no illustration of the actual biting. Kind of disappointing.
