Summary
It is too familiar, this moment. Too reminiscent of nights on the back steps of the convenience store. Too reminiscent of last week, when Namjoon brought Yoongi here to his home. Blood on Yoongi’s face, in his mouth. He looks so small, sitting curled in on himself as Namjoon dabs gently at his lip to clean the wound.
How many times has Namjoon done this? Too many, even once is too much. He hoped that the prior week would be the last. That he wouldn’t have to see blood on Yoongi again. It doesn’t look right against his pale complexion. It’s jarring, like spilled ink on a pristine canvas.
Namjoon sits back on his heels and assesses Yoongi before him. “I wish I didn’t have to keep doing this.”
“This is the last time you’ll have to,” Yoongi murmurs, his voice a little wet, ragged around the edges. “I promise.”
-OR-
Namjoon feels like he is like an open book. Pages spread and laid bare, all of him out in the open. But Yoongi is more like a mysterious secret diary, locked up tight. Impenetrable without the key, only the cover visible, the edges of the pages. And Namjoon doesn’t want to force it.

Summary
Dealing with clients at work, living with his mother, co-parenting with his ex, and failing to understand his thirteen-year-old daughter isn't enough for Yoongi. He has to add 'crushing on his cute neighbour' to his long list of complications.
Unsurprisingly, Jimin and his nine-year-old daughter also have their own fair share of baggage and hardships.
But together, Yoongi and Jimin slowly start to make sense of things.

Summary
“You’ve always been good at that. Making me feel better about myself. I’m going to reach the end of the line and owe it all to you.”
“That doesn’t sound too bad, does it?”
Minho can’t figure out what possesses him when he’s in Jisung’s presence. Like a switch flipped to make him impossibly reckless. They just look at each other for a long moment, and then Jisung laughs again, soft and fragile.
(OR: guilt, yearning, and other side effects of caring too much.)

Summary
“It’s almost like we were waiting for Jisung, y’know?” Changbin says. “To complete us." Then he ducks his head, ears flaming, because how fucking embarrassing is that?
But Chan doesn’t laugh at him. He’s solemn, voice raw and honest, when he replies, “Yeah. I know.”
