Summary
The pandemic was merciless - a super-virus that could kill in as little as eight hours from onset. Started with fever, headache, profuse sweating, and ended with a brain pushed to aneurysm or overheating. It was a brutal way to go, and it was so contagious that the government couldn't take action quickly enough.
Everyone was gone. Everyone except Jongseob. Some might have called him lucky, but he would never use that word to describe himself, wandering the world alone.
After months of scraping by to survive in a desolate, collapsing world, however, Jongseob finally discovers that he wasn't the only one cursed to live. Haku Shota can't tell him much, given that he can only speak a handful of Korean words, but if there's one thing he makes clear, it's that he's here to survive.

Summary
Shota's a simple man with simple needs: once a drab gray salesman in a drab gray office, he's since left behind the world of business and taught himself to slow down, go his own way, and put life first. His summer unfolds with the promise of the unplanned. Anything can happen... although he'll probably just chill around Seoul, teach some yoga classes, work out, play with his dog, and dodge his mother's attempts at marrying him off.
Jongseob is a hell of a lot more complicated, though he really wishes he wasn't. All he wants to do is to live, safe and happy, with his kids, but he still has the daunting process of facing his husband in court and finalizing his divorce standing in his way. Single parenthood is hard. Working a full-time job and going to school is hard. Hating everything about yourself and having to put on a smiling face for your two kids is hard. Just about the only thing he has to make life easier is a golden-retriever-coded himbo of a neighbor, who doesn't seem put-off by Jongseob's sorry excuse for an existence.
Or: Shota teaches Jongseob the importance of self-care, self-love, and even the occasional bit of reckless hedonism.

Summary
Shota was curled in his bed while scrolling on his phone, head lifting when he heard Jongseob’s knock. A few seconds later the blonde emerged through his door. “Hi.” He almost whispered.
“Just met Keeho.” He let out a small huff, almost a relieved breath as he rested against the door, eyes softening as he noticed how sleepy Shota was while laying on his bed.
Shota’s eyes widened at Jongseob’s words, the fact that Keeho was in after cancelling plans completely slipped his tired mind. “Oh shit- I forgot-”
“It’s okay, Shota.” Jongseob reassured him with a smile as he approached the bed, slowly sitting down on the edge of it as he met Shota’s tired gaze.
Or
Shota is adamant about not letting his boyfriend, Jongseob, and his roommate, Keeho, cross paths ever for some unknown reason, forcing the couple to sneak around... though one day the sneaking around fails and they do indeed cross paths.

Summary
Sunghoon wasn't prepared for his ex-boyfriend to move into the apartment across from his; not after the boy had disappeared without explanation three years ago, just when he needed him most.
The door that adults forced them to close at the end of their teenage years opens again, giving way to everything: unhealed wounds, unresolved misunderstandings, and perhaps, an unextinguished love.
Sunoo, with the last of his scarce strength, insists on getting closer. Sunghoon, immersed in the demands of early adulthood and a routine of sudden responsibilities, resists experiencing for a second time that pain that pushed him to the limit before.
But seeking answers becomes inevitable, just as it becomes inevitable to break a little more when obtaining them.- Language:
