Summary
“Your car is really pretty,” Jisung said, startling himself and the man standing a few feet away.
The man turned to him, Jisung shrinking under his gaze.
He tipped his head at Jisung, eyes piercing, “You like my car?”...
Two. Four. Eight. Sixteen. He’d worked so hard for so long and he’d ruined it. It didn’t matter what he did, he would never be good enough. Hours and hours and hours of spent hunched over his tablet, over textbooks, pages scattered across his desk, and it still wasn’t enough.
...
“That’s not what – I’m not –” Jisung took a moment to collect himself, breath stuttering his chest in a way noticeable to Minho as his smile had fallen. “You know I am trans, right?”
One-two-three-four. The tears were already welling in his eyes, vice around his chest crushing his ribs to dust. His palms were still flat on the table, fingers curling in, nails catching on the wood, a splinter lodging itself in his nailbed.OR – Feet sinking into the mud of his life, still in the first steps of his transition, Jisung was not meant for kindness or understanding. Then a red Porsche, a soft smile, hands gripping his. Something better than any love he’d experienced before.

Summary
Yang Jeongin, 24, "beta," has been disowned by his religious family after coming out. A month or so later, he finds himself with nowhere else to go, and almost no more money. He finally calls a crisis center and gets placed in an employment assistance program and a host pack.
--
Minho smiled. “Yay! Congrats, Jeongin. Your official date of placement will be two days from now.”
“And one last thing –”
Jeongin sighed in relief.
“– but it’s really important, in your case…”
Well, the relief was nice while it lasted.
“Since I’m the specialty case worker, I assign your placement. And I’m – my pack is currently also the only available host. So you’ve gotta wait for my shift to end in –” Minho glanced at his watch. “– about an hour and a half… and then you ride home with me.”
What?!
--
A vignette fic in which one half is Jeongin trying his hardest to unlearn prejudices and grow into himself (and the pack he's slowly falling for), the other half is the rest of the pack helping him do just that, and the third half is the stories of how this little ragtag pack of strays got together. -

Thankfully, Chan and his friends have no intention of stopping until Han breaks the surface.Bookmarked by aoep

Summary
A small boy follows behind them, looking at his feet with tension in his shoulders. Hyunjin is taken back by his beauty, white-blonde hair framing his freckled face.
His voice is lost in his throat, but no one expects him to be put together. He’s looking at Yongbok, and Yongbok is watching him too, a shy smile on his heart shaped lips.
Hyunjin isn’t blind to beauty. He can see when someone looks good, but the tug of want in his chest is new. There’s something about the shy boy that makes Hyunjin want to never stop looking at him. He wonders if this is attraction, or if he’s just surprised at how healthy Yongbok looks. Most people who come in here look worn down and sick, but Yongbok’s skin has a warm glow.---
Or: a mental institution love story that isn't as dark as it may sound
