Summary
“Minho and I were recruited for a romance drama,” Jisung blurts out. “Like romance between us. Our characters, obviously,” he's quick to add, feeling, suddenly, like he needs to justify it.
Chan and Changbin exchange a look that Jisung can’t decrypt.
“Are you sure you’re going to be okay?” Chan asks. His voice is gentle, like he’s soothing a crying toddler or breaking bad news to a friend.
Jisung cocks his head. “Why wouldn’t I be?”
Chan pauses, uncertainty clouding his features for a moment before he shakes it off. “Never mind, yeah? It’s nothing.”
Chan's words belie the concern of his tone. It makes Jisung pause. Does he think acting with Minho will change their relationship? It’s not unheard of — co-stars falling in love — but Jisung is straight. Everybody knows that.
Jisung knows he and Minho are a pair. Coworkers, best friends... Soulmates, if you will. He just didn't think anyone would seek them out because of it.
After being scouted to play the lead couple in a BL drama, Jisung has to navigate his ever-evolving relationship with Minho and come to terms with something he's kept locked away since childhood.

Summary
If he tried hard enough, Jay could probably push himself up and wrangle Jungwon off him. But he simply doesn't have the energy for it; it's far too early to exert himself like that.
And Jay, intuitive boyfriend that he is, knows that Jungwon is annoyed about something and that's why he's doing this. Luckily for him, Jungwon always makes it known very quickly whenever Jay does something that annoys him.

Summary
"It's not your fault," he manages, squeezing Jungwon's shoulder in an attempt at comforting him. "Not at all. Please don't apologise to me for something that's out of your control. I mean, come on, it's a fucking curse because apparently those exist now. There's nothing you could do."
"I guess." He's still not making eye contact with Jay. "I'm just sorry that you've been dragged into this mess." He snorts humourlessly. "And now you're gonna have to be attached to me for literal months."
"It won't be so bad," Jay says, shocked to find that he means it. "Considering," he puts on a brave face, "considering it's us, right?"
Jungwon looks up at that, face set in wariness. "Yeah," he says slowly, eyes scanning Jay's face. "Yeah, considering it's us."
Or: Jay quickly learns that there are worse things than being curse-bonded to your bandmate.

Summary
“What’s going on?” Jisung asks.
Chan doesn’t bother with pleasantries. He and Jisung keep in touch well enough through an ongoing text thread that he knows about the concept of Jisung’s upcoming album, the U.S. tour at the end of the year, that there is no one significant in Jisung’s life aside from the elderly neighbor that occasionally feeds his cat, Nana, and foists confusing baked goods like zucchini bread on him.
So, when Chan calls, he gets straight to business. “I want to talk to you about an interview.”
“An interview.” The word feels uncomfortable on Jisung’s tongue. It sticks in his throat, causes it to constrict.
Silence stretches between them before Chan admits, “Well, a little more than an interview. A docuseries, of sorts.”
(It’s been ten years since Jisung lost Minho and Stray Kids. Now, they’re telling the story.)
