Summary
When Minho gets up the next day, he doesn’t really get up.
Instead, five Minhos with different hair colours leave his (their?) bedroom, trailing one after the other to make their way into the common rooms.
“What the fuck?!” Felix exclaims from his seat in the kitchen, eyes blown wide open in shock. Next to him, Seungmin’s mouth is held agape, seemingly unable to close shut.
Or, when Minho makes the (idiotic) decision of buying a crystal necklace from a sketchy store, he doesn’t expect said necklace to split his emotions into five different versions of him.

Summary
“I’m calling from the Seoul National Medical Centre. We have you listed here as the emergency contact for a Han Jisung. Do I have the right person?”
(Three years ago, Minho broke Jisung's heart with a single phone call. It's ironic then, that the universe decides to return the favour.)

Summary
Life is hell, and then you die.
Minho's story is already written, his life spent longing for his fated mate and then death with a sword in his hand. He expects nothing else. This life's journey is nothing but a series of hits to his soul. It doesn't matter that he is the strongest or the fastest. He can only fight and run for so long.
But what if his story was rewritten? What if bottomless brown eyes and the kindest smile he’s ever seen, took the map of his life and redrew the lines? How would his story end? Where would the map lead? To happiness… love? Home?
And if that home was threatened… he would burn the world to save it.
*****
He doesn’t think whatever he and Jisung has counts as love. He’s never experienced it, but something about the word tells him love is supposed to be equal, balanced, and tender. Instead, he has a power struggle where he’s been asked to give everything he has...
________With silent tears Jisung rests against the oak door and prays. Dear Gods, may I take all of his pain and return it in love...
(Badass War General omega Lee Know is in an arranged marriage to sweet and kind alpha Han Jisung... he is not happy about it)

Summary
From closer, it’s clear that Minho is about his age. He’s handsome— very much so— in an untouchable sort of way. Straight nose, sharp eyes, a defined cupid’s bow. He looks sculpted rather than born. Jisung might shrink under the weight of his presence if the situation were different.
Knowing that Minho is dying ruins the illusion of perfection.
Jisung answers an ad online reading: "I'm going to die, but there's a lot of things I haven't done yet that I don't want to do alone."

Summary
“I bet you guys couldn't last a week without each other,” Jeongin joined in, a teasing glint in his eyes.
Not Jeongin, too!
Jisung wanted to groan and roll his eyes.
Until Minho piped up beside him, “I bet we could.”
Jisung's attention snapped to him, maybe out of shock or maybe out of gratitude — he couldn't tell.
“You guys couldn't last two days, much less a week,” Changbin fired back.
“A week,” Jisung repeated, “We could do that. That's easy.”
or:
Jisung and Minho are close friends to an obnoxious amount that it annoys the rest of their friends who say they're attached at the hip. They try to deny it, but their friends challenge them to prove it by going a week without contact. It proves to be harder than expected.

Summary
“Look, we don't have to if you don't want to. I remember what you said the last time we saw each other. I can walk myself back home right now, just say the word,” Jisung says, worrying his lower lip between his teeth. A nervous tick, Minho notes.
He considers it for a moment – sending Jisung home – but then he would have gained nothing from all of this. But he also doesn't want to lead the guy on.
“You should know I wear hearing aids,” Minho blurts, an attempt to sabotage. This is the part where Jisung will realize Minho isn't worth it. He’ll walk away, Minho is sure of it.
"I know. Chan-hyung told me,” Jisung says, “I don't care about that– or well, I do, but– you make it sound like it’s a dealbreaker–”
“Because it is.”
“It's not.”
Jisung's words kill Minho’s argument, leaving Minho staring at him in shock, his mouth hanging open.
or:
After years of accepting that he’ll never be enough for a relationship, Minho feels relieved when he doesn't receive a soulmate mark. That is, until he meets Jisung — another person without a mark, who makes him question everything he thought he wanted.

Summary
With contract renewals discussed and settled, Han Jisung found himself being dorm mates with Lee Know. This was fine since they were self proclaimed soulmates and got along very well.
The only issue was that they had not lived together for three years and seeing each other a lot was not the same as living together. It was easier to run away and lock away his feelings if they ever threatened to overflow when they lived in separate dorms.
The real issue about living together was that Han Jisung had a big crush, an unrequited love for his soulmate and group member Lee Know and he did not know how to deal with it.
Can he handle being so utterly domestic with the one person he wants to kiss senseless or will he only succeed in creating more distance and issues between them?
After all, Minho did not feel the same for him. Right? Jisung would have known if the feelings were mutual. Right?- Language:

Summary
But before Chan could move as much as a single muscle, something else happened. Something that Jisung would have not suspected in a million years.
Minho let out a low growl as well.It wasn’t quite as unhinged as Jisung’s. It was far more quiet, far more controlled. But that almost made it worse. Because there was absolutely no doubt that Minho’s growl had been fully intentional. And it had not been directed at Jisung.
***
In which Jisung and Minho try to find their way together amidst the chaos that comes with bringing together a flawed and hurt group of people. They do their best as they navigate self-hatred, sexuality crises, falling in love, heartbreak, ruts, heats and presentations. All while Stray Kids try to find their dynamics as a group and what being a pack truly means...
