    Summary

    It’s shocking, really. Soobin is the worst kickball player in the history of the world—Beomgyu’s words, not his. He stumbles over his feet, slacks off in the outfield, and has very minimal hand-eye coordination. On the kickball field, he’s practically a walking hazard.

    But, despite all of his stupid, unathletic hardships, Soobin still comes to kickball practices. He willingly looks like a total idiot, lumbering around the outfield like an overgrown tree—stiff and completely out of place. Soobin is not very good at kickball, but this stupid intramural team is still very important to him.

    Because kickball practice is where he met Choi Yeonjun for the first time.

    Summary

    Yeonjun was always meant to bloom.

    At least, that’s what he’d been told — by his mother, by the warmth of home, by the quiet promise of a body that was supposed to change. But three years after the world said it should have, it still hasn’t. A single word on a medical chart — beta — unravels everything he thought he knew about who he was meant to be.

    Caught between the body he has and the one he was meant to bloom into, Yeonjun must face what it means to exist out of season: to love, to ache, and to find beauty in a world that never gave him the chance to belong.

    Summary

    “I don’t mind that you’re a beta, Soobin. None of us do. It’s not something that matters to me.”

    For some reason, that hurts. He understands what Yeonjun is trying to say, but something about those words still prick and poke at something inside of Soobin that’s eager to hurt. Something that wants to find anything to ache over.

    He wants it to matter. He wants Yeonjun to want him because he’s a beta, not in spite of it.

    That’s not how it works when you’re a beta, though.

    Soobin offers to help Yeonjun through his rut.

    Summary

    “Soobin-hyung has had sex,” Beomgyu says.

    Yeonjun’s happily drunk thoughts, which had been drifting off to consider Flirting 101 with Yeonjun as a pitch for a show to management - name to be workshopped - abruptly hit a wall.

    “…What?”

    Summary

    There is a name on his wrist, stark against his skin.

    The black characters are clear and unmistakable: Choi Yeonjun.

    Soobin swears.

    All idols wear soulbands around their wrists to hide their soulmate’s name: as idols there’s an expectation to be single and appear forever-attainable so that their fans can wonder what name is written on their wrist and believe that there’s a chance it could be their own.

    Soobin gave up on a future with a soulmate when he became an idol. He never expected to get a soulmark — and then he did.
