Summary
Just the sight of Mark—Mark Lee, Mark—at the steps of the rental was enough to stop Chenle’s heart, then start it again at triple the speed—
God, it had been ages.
It had been ages, but Chenle could never forget Mark Lee.

Summary
The fake engagement becomes an easy routine, and the two of them fall into step together without any hesitation.
But with so many people telling him all about the “new chapter in life” he’s starting, it serves as a painful reminder to Chenle that he still hasn’t mustered the strength to flip to the next page.
(Or, Renjun and Chenle pretend to be engaged for freebies; here’s everything that goes wrong.)

Summary
There are a lot of problems with being in love with Mark Lee. Four are more important than the rest:
1. Mark Lee doesn’t know his limits.
2. Mark Lee is stubborn.
3. Mark Lee is straight.
4. Chenle can’t say no to Mark Lee. -

Summary
How to solve a Scorpio’s relationship problems:
1. Suggest practice dating. Scorpios are attracted to passion and dramatic experiences, so by immersing them in an environment as close to dating as possible, it opens a gateway to allure that otherwise can’t be discerned from face value.
2. Accidentally get too close. Scorpios thrive in spontaneous situations, and unpredictable and ambiguous relationships embody this to a T. Nothing is more appealing to a Scorpio than circumstances with no clear ending.
3. Fall in love.
(Or, Chenle and Donghyuck try to figure solve Chenle’s dating problems. By dating.)

Summary
“I told you already, China was boring,” Chenle groans, flipping onto his back to stare at the ceiling. “Everything about this summer has been boring as shit, and in five more days, it’ll be over.”
Chenle could very easily build a tower to the sun with all the expectations he had for “his last true summer”, as his counselor dubbed it, and all of them have remained unmet.
Though, it’s probably his fault for thinking he’s in a universe where he has real decision making power over his life to begin with.
“Make the best of it, then,” Jeno says softly.
(Or, for the last week of the summer, Chenle visits Jeno at his hometown and some ghosts along the way.)

Summary
Renjun’s new apartment is far from perfect: the ceilings are popcorned, the trim is perpetually scuffed, and for some reason, all the appliances keep breaking. When an untimely flood hits in the dead of night, it’s just his luck that every one of his friends is occupied.
Every one of them except basketball-obsessed, gym rat, allergic-to-wearing-a-shirt Chenle.
(Or, living with Chenle is almost too easy.)

Summary
Chenle doesn’t realise she’s staring until Jisung clears her throat and tilts her head. “Is there something on my face?”
There are bungeoppang crumbs on her chin.
“You’re so fucking beautiful,” Chenle replies. I’m so fucking in love with you, she thinks.
Jisung blinks, her face flushing pink. “I—uh. Thanks?”
(Or, how loving Jisung is the easiest thing Chenle has ever done.)

Summary
“That’s what this is about?” Mark sets Renjun’s phone down on the table. “You wrote a poem about…a guy that works with cats? At a café?”
“You make it sound stupider than it actually is,” Renjun groans, kicking him from under the table. In all fairness, it is stupid, very much so, but he can’t stand when his own stupidity is recognised by people that aren’t himself, Mark included. “Shut up and tell me if it’s good or not.”
(Or, Chenle works at a cat café part time, and Renjun is entirely normal about it.)
