Summary
A photo, slightly blurry, taken from a fan’s phone in the middle of a concert. Hyunjin’s hair is bright red, vivid enough that it looks real even through the screen, and Jisung has an arm slung over his shoulder. They look like they’re the only people on the stage; on the planet. It’s disarmingly intimate. There’s a tension that anybody can see: the way they’re singing, the way their bodies are turned towards each other almost subconsciously. They’re magnetic.
It’s not love, not yet, but it sure is something.
(The story of four kids in a band, told through bits and pieces of memories.)

Summary
When they are sixteen, Jisung's best friend Hyunjin contracts Lavender; the contagious, incurable disease that breaks a person body and mind, and turns them into something else. Incapable of letting go and moving on like he's supposed to, Jisung spends his teenage years trying to find Hyunjin again, wherever he may have gone. But Hyunjin is no longer the boy Jisung once knew, and for Jisung it has taken more than just time to get to him.

Summary
— Hyunjin wraps himself in everything that is Jisung and it's seamless. So much like the vine that snakes around Hyunjin's wrist that Jisung avoids covering, the faded maple tree that crawls over the firm skin of his bicep, the setting sun in the dip of his thumb, so similar is the way they fit together: as if one was never without the other. Not perfect; always a little torn at the stitches because that's the way humans are: imperfect, malleable. Breakable. Still, Hyunjin can't imagine his skin without the ink pressed deep into it, and he can't imagine his heart without a home for Jisung carved out into its corners. No amount of brightening concealer or long-wear foundation can cover that kind of endlessness. Jisung would never try to cover it. Hyunjin would never let it be covered.
(Or: Hyunjin is a model who intends to make a habit out of showing up to shoots with new tattoos so his makeup artist, Jisung, has to spend more time covering them up.)

Summary
For competitive swimmer Hyunjin Hwang, the answer was never below the heavy, suffocating blues of water, but inside the heart of a boy with blue hair; a boy who never truly left Hyunjin's side.

Summary
“You would be the king of the fairy ring!” Jisung proclaimed as he swept his arms in a grand, wide arc. “The lover of the sun.”
The sun was burning bright in the distance. Liquid gold collided with lilac mountains. Hyunjin stared at Jisung and the wondrous look in his eyes, and asked, “What about you, then? What would you be the king of?”
Jisung shrugged. “Some princes don’t become kings.”
(In which fairy rings brought nothing but bad luck, but not to Hyunjin. Instead, fairy rings brought him closer to a mysterious boy who burned like a thousand suns.)

Summary
“you’re here,” a statement. hyunjin stays still as he says it, strands falling from his ponytail messily. beautiful, so beautiful.
“i— yeah,” where else would i be, jisung wants to ask, where else would i go if for the past four years i’ve built most of my life around you.
a pause. a moment suspended between them. jisung refuses to meet hyunjin’s eyes, while hyunjin seeks his gaze. they won’t meet a middle ground right now, not when hyunjin is eager but jisung is still ashamed. not tonight, jisung thinks, slowly letting out a breath. it’s not gonna be tonight.

Summary
“Does that make me a bad person?” Jisung asked, a little afraid of the answer. When he finally looked up, Hyunjin's eyes were unreadable.
“I don’t think so,” he finally said. “I don’t think you have the ability to be anything but good.”
Jisung sighed, a strange feeling in his stomach. “I don’t know what she sees in me sometimes,” he admitted.
There was a pause, like his friend didn't quite know how to respond. Hyunjin seemed to be battling with something within himself when he finally leaned over, pushing a piece of hair behind his ear. Then, quiet as a whisper, “I do.”
✩ ✩ ✩
At only 21, Jisung seems to have it all figured out. He's known on campus for having stellar grades, amazing friends, and the perfect girlfriend, and it's all thanks to his carefully curated life plan. So far, everything is going exactly as he planned...
Or, the one where Jisung falls in love, but not with his girlfriend.

Summary
Ever since they were children, Jisung and Hyunjin have never particularly gotten along. It's a given fact of life: the sky is blue, the sun sets in the west, and Hwang Hyunjin and Han Jisung hate each other. But then their friends somehow get it into their heads that they're dating and instead of setting them straight, the pair decide it's in their best interests to play along.
(In Jisung's defence, it isn't even his idea.)

Summary
“Forget the chocolate shake,” Shiro says. “If someone managed to find me a bar of chocolate, I would marry them on the spot.”
Keith’s brain short-circuits.
It’s like the fuse for an entire city blew out. The conversation goes on around him, but the words are barely radio fuzz at the back of Keith’s head. He’s stock-still on the couch, rigid like a plank of wood, his whole world reduced to five words:
Marry them on the spot.

Summary
Matt put down his phone and continued ranting, this time about just everything in general, and Shiro rolled his eyes and pulled a Pepsi out of his backpack. He'd need a lot of caffeine to listen to this. As he chugged it, he could see a head of silky black hair out of the corner of his eye, and Shiro promptly choked on his soda. Matt turned to stare at him, his amber eyes blinking rapidly. "Shiro? What the hell-?"
Then Matt saw Keith and snorted. "Oooh, gayness strikes again. Don't suffocate."
"Shut up," Shiro shot back between coughs.
Once Shiro could speak (he could still feel something lodged in his throat, but he could breathe) he looked up to see Matt barely suppressing laughter and a very concerned looking Keith staring at him.
Keith had his dark, silky hair pulled back into a higher ponytail than usual, and his bangs were just barely neat enough for Keith to see. His dusky eyes were wide with confusion, and his lean hands were shoved into his skinny jean pockets. Did Shiro say skinny jeans? He meant skin tight black jeans paired with ankle-high combat boots and a NASA tee shirt. It was so casual, but Keith rocked the look, and Shiro could feel his face burning.
