    Summary

    "You got a name?” Suho takes one last drag from his cigarette, then tosses it to the ground and stubs out the burning tip with his sneaker.

    The boy hesitates, his gaze flickering to the gray cat curled at his feet. “Gray,” He says, "It's Gray.”

    Suho laughs. This kid is a riot. “That your real name or one you just made up?”

    Sieun looks up at him through the thick fan of his lashes. His eyes are dark. Bottomless. Pure liquid.

    “Does it matter?”

    Or, Suho's past comes back to haunt him in the form of Yeon Sieun.

    Summary

    - Modern day gang AU, where street racer Xue Yang meets a peculiar blind man -

    Text Excerpt:

    After what seemed like forever, Xiao Xingchen could tell most of the people had already left the event and no more cars were racing. Xue Yang and Jin Guangyao were chatting with some other guy, but he was never introduced to Xiao Xingchen.

    “Daozhang~” Xue Yang cooed, slinking into the spot beside him on the bench. “What did you think? Would you believe I won?”

    “Did you win?” Xiao Xingchen asked with a tilt of his head. “I recall the radio saying otherwise.”

    “What do you mean, I-“ Xue Yang paused, then glared at Xiao Xingchen with a playful smile. “You’re fucking with me, aren’t you?”

    Xiao Xingchen chuckled and lifted his hand in a fist to cover his mouth as he did. “Am I so transparent?”

    Summary

    Xue Yang wasn’t a customer. He never came by to purchase Xiao Xingchen’s baked goods, he never came by to compliment him on his painstaking craft. Never had he arrived to eye the perfectly folded pastries inside the glass counter with respect. Never did he show any desire to follow the rules of barter, trade, purchase, or law.
    Xue Yang only slipped inside when the moon was high and the doors locked, when it was convenient for him and horribly inconvenient for Xiao Xingchen.
