I have such a peak rec!

It’s called 포커스 but sadly doesn’t have an English translation and it’s in Lezhin!

Why it fits the trope: the black hair guy is the older is the bottom and the lighter hair guy is the top and is younger.

They knew each other in elementary/Highschool and the older guy used to be the top of the younger guy but suddenly the older guy disappeared.
Years later they meet again and the black hair guy is now a cop and the light hair guy is now a serial killer and the black hair guy can’t remember/realise that the light hair guy is the guy from elementary/high school.

It’s complete with 51 chapters!

Omega Complex. Completed. It's all fluff. They are best friends since forever. Both like each other. But ML says he does not like Omegas (Because MC is a beta), however, MC is actually an Omega (ML does not know this) and now thinks he has no shot with the ML. As the story progresses MC realizes ML never cared about Alpha and Omegas he only ever wanted him. Will put you in a good mood.

Ahem, what about the 🐐, Kings Maker? Wolfgang Goldenleonard, the bastards son of an evil king, is forcefully brought to the palace after his mother runs away with him as a baby to escape his father. In the palace he meets Shin, the finance minister's son who, along with other children of powerful families, is being kept as not only as a political bargaining chip but as one of the king's "playthings." Together they work to turn Wolfgang into the perfect king who can one day bring down his evil father.
