Summary
“Our engagement,” Changbin said, the words coming out in a rush. “It was… it is a good match. A correct one. You are… you are everything a noble Omega should be.”
Every word felt like a stone being placed carefully on Minho’s chest. But .He could hear the unsaid word screaming in the air between them.
“I have tried. For two years, I have tried to feel what an Alpha should feel for his intended. Respect, yes. Admiration, certainly. But… not love. Not the kind that… that binds a soul.”
Minho’s world tilted. The conservatory, with its lush ferns and fragrant orchids, seemed to blur at the edges.
“My heart,” Changbin confessed, the agony in his voice now raw and unmistakable, “it does not beat for you. It… it has never been yours.”
He took a step forward, not toward Minho, but as if pleading with the universe itself. “It beats for Felix.”
Felix.
His sunshine brother. His little Felix, with his bright laughter and easy charm. The brother he had spent a lifetime protecting, pampering, placing in the softest light.

Summary
He blinked a few times, watching the man on the ice, unable to turn away even if he wanted to. And he kind of didn’t, honestly.
The man spun for a bit before stopping suddenly and skating around, keeping his arms in the air and his legs steady. The expression on his face was neutral, save for the occasional furrow of his brow or the bite of his lip.
Suddenly, he jumped into the air and spun for what felt like ten minutes. Jisung’s eyes widened as he watched, and the man landed for a second but then he stumbled and fell right on his butt. Jisung rushed onto the ice without even realizing it, skating over to the man as fast as he could.
He stopped in front of him and held a hand out, watching as he panted and slowly looked up at him. He didn’t take Jisung’s hand as he stood, but he didn’t skate away– just watched Jisung’s hand retreat back to his side awkwardly as he took one of his earbuds out, “Um,” Jisung cleared his throat, “Are you okay? That looked like it hurt.”
(Or, Jisung is a new hockey player in town and meets Minho, who is a figure skater.)

Summary
In Minho's memories, Seungmin was a quiet kid. The boy used to tag behind Minho like a little tail that happened to take shape in gangly limbs and a mouthful of braces. His eyes never hid any emotions and he wore his heart on his sleeve.
Many years later, Minho meets Seungmin again.
He is now a man, all gangly limbs and perfect teeth. Time has let him grows into his best features - it broadens his shoulders, chisels his cheekbones, and deepens his eyes. The current Seungmin has his shoulders wide enough to bear responsibility, his cheekbones and jawline sharp enough to overshadow his soft edges, and his eyes deep enough to hide his true feelings.
But time is also cruel. It has left him with the heart of a boy still but the brain of a liar, deceiving its owner by the delusion of it no longer being so fond of Minho. So much.
Minho is not so easy to be deceived.

Summary
Chan's message comes in at 1:17AM.
Minho notices the time first, because he always notices the time when something is about to split his life in two, when his life tilts just enough that everything from that moment forward will be measured as before and after, whether he wants it to be or not.
He's half-asleep, face pressed into his pillow, phone screen casting a dim, bluish glow in the dark, night mode turned on but still too bright for the hour, and for a second he thinks it's just another group chat notification, another meme, another voice note he'll pretend not to smile at before rolling over and letting sleep take him.
Then he reads Chan's name.Channie hyung:
