Summary
Cody's heart cracks. Because he can relate, he can relate so fully. He's been through this before. With Roman. But also because he’s spent years watching Punk give himself away to people who don't see him—but Cody did. Still does. All these years from their time in WWE to AEW and back again. Cody still sees him. Cody has always seen him.
***
Cody finds Punk a little broken down. He needs someone, and Cody is the only one around right now. He can't just leave Punk like this even though he should probably walk away. And Cody is more than willing to show Punk that he is worth more than he thinks. That he is enough.

Silence settles over them, heavy but not uncomfortable. Cody's hand finds Punk's in the mess, fingers intertwining, holding on like he was afraid to let go. And he doesn't want to let go.
Punk closes his eyes.
And for the first time in a long time, he doesn't feel less than. He feels enough. Like he's enough.
Oh the way this made my whole week. I'm not normal about them ok

Summary
“What if we kissed?”
Hongjoong chokes on the bite of sandwich he just took.
“To break the curse,” Yunho clarifies.
It takes two hacking coughs to clear his throat before Hongjoong can reply, “That’s not how it works.”
--------
Hongjoong starts reliving the same workday. (Un)fortunately, someone else is stuck in time with him.

“Do you give them a muffin every time you think of them?”
“Hopefully I don’t need a reason to show up after a while. But if you really like them, I can get you one every time. Well, that could get expensive… I can get you one whenever you want.”
Hongjoong notes how easily Yunho made the switch from a theoretical person to the more direct ‘you’. (And how he’s already thinking it’d be an expensive tradition to keep up.)
For research, I was browsing the time loop tag in random fandoms that I'm vaguely into, and I ended up binging this whole thing in a night. Glued to my chair. Locked tf in. I didn't even know Yunjoong was a sizable ship (casual Atiny at most lmao), but oh wow
From the mental turmoil and loneliness of living an endless day, to the comedy and tenderness of muffins as a love language, this has it all. There's too many elements that I could compliment here, Idek what to say this just goes hard. Everything goes on long enough for the loops to truly feel hopeless yet like they're making steady progress in their revelations and personal developments. That twist almost knocked me out cold lmfao it still haunts me when I think of this...........

Summary
Shoyo was in love with him.
It was almost a crime how Shoyo had said it, simple enough that Atsumu didn’t process a single word. He had told Shoyo ‘great!’ and left to his dorm room. It wasn’t until he was trying to fall asleep that the enormity of what Shoyo said sank in.
From that moment on, he had been desperately working to get Shoyo alone again. He needed to show Shoyo the surface of his affections and love, the depths to be discovered only once Shoyo was anchored to the seabed of his beating heart.
No, what Shoyo had said could never be a crime. What was a crime was how in the days since then, he had been systematically stopped from doing anything about it.
--
The five times Atsumu was cock-blocked during a Tokyo away-game weekend, and the one time he finally got Shoyo’s undivided attention.

...Osamu had set up the table in the corner of the shop to be reserved for people who bought the ‘Couple Special Set’ consisting multiple special onigiri. The table had cheesy florals, some fairy lights and fake candles on it. It was the only non-communal table in the restaurant.
Atsumu thought it was gross, an Instagram gimmick, an affront to the quality reputation Osamu had built for himself. By doing this, Osamu was outing himself as a hopeless romantic. A sap.
Unfortunately for Atsumu, his brother’s propensity for the romantic was genetic. Atsumu wanted to sit there with Shoyo. Immediately. Hold his hand under the table. Watch Shoyo’s eyes sparkle in the candlelight. Take some photos to brag online about how in love they were. He wanted to show Shoyo off. Shoyo was his.
In Atsumu’s mind, everyone should be a little in love with Shoyo, but only Atsumu could have him.
< AAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH 3
PS: I am obsessed with darling + (mentally) little minx as Atsumu's nicknames for Shouyou. he IS his darling and he IS a little yappy minx -

And it would ruin it. He’s sure of it. He reminds himself of this every time Jackson’s hands linger on his arm, every time he catches Jackson watching him out of the corner of his eyes, every time Jackson returns from the store with treats especially for him and a wide smile. He reminds himself of it every time his heart starts screaming at him to finally take that final step, to jump off of that bridge damn the consequences, and it's his brain's job to remind him he doesn't have a bungee cord.
Jackson is a loving person. He is a great brother and an amazing friend. He is friendly and warm and considerate. And he treats Jaebum with the exact same level of love and affection he treats every one of his ample group of friends.
So he knows better than to say anything. He already knows what the answer would be.
Jaebeom 'nothings' him...What an absolute trip, oh my god man. Oh my god

Summary
The grumpy barista really should have known better than to scoff at Jackson's coffee order. It's not Jackson's fault that it's now his duty to come back every day to annoy him with overly-complex orders and sass.
Basically: Jaebum is a grumpy barista who just wants to get through his shift and Jackson is the annoying customer who thinks he looks cute when he's annoyed.

He didn’t realise he wasn’t even lining up to order until he heard a throat clear and turned to see one of the other guys- Jinyoung he thought Yugyeom had called him- standing at the register.
“Can I help you?” He said smoothly, and Jackson braced himself at his teasing tone. “Or are you just here to make Jaebum-hyung break all my mugs?”
Jackson mouthed wordlessly for a second, thanking god when Jaebum returned and shoved Jinyoung out of the way, “Jinyoung-ah! Go check food stocks or something!”
