Summary
Hongjoong had a plan.
1) Get into a good university.
2) Survive.
3) Graduate and get a good job.
4) Pay back his mom for everything she did for him.Nowhere on that list did he account for friends.
Nor did he account for a blindingly kind and gentle popular boy on campus looking at Hongjoong with eyes that were much too warm and genuine, and a personality that seemed too good to be true.All he knew was that he would not be some rich kid’s plaything.
No matter how warm his smile was.- Language:

Summary
“I would like to hire you for a regular job.” Over the phone, Seonghwa sounds polite and firm.
He goes on explaining the details of what he wants: someone to hang out with him every week for two hours, to accompany him to the movies or museums sometimes, someone who’d remember his birthday and get him a thoughtful gift (he’d deposit extra money for the occasion), to share a few of his interests. He wants a friend. A friend.
---
[ hongjoong, a college student, works as a friend for rent to make ends meet, and seonghwa, a very lonely man, hires him to emulate what he believes to be a normal friendship. ]

Summary
When Seonghwa’s tour boat capsizes, sending all of its occupants into the churning waves, he and seven others manage to make it to a small island on the horizon, overgrown with vegetation and clearly bearing no other signs of human life. With high tensions, they are forced to work together to survive, and he easily gets along with all but one of his fellow castaways.
Hongjoong is closed off and hot-headed, and eventually Seonghwa gives up on the possibility of civility between the two of them. Still, as the nights come and go and time seems to stretch into one continual loop, he realizes there is more to Hongjoong than he’d initially thought.
The island becomes their new normal, and Seonghwa becomes so accustomed to life there that he can hardly remember what it was like before the world had forgotten about them. Never did they anticipate a rescue, nor the world’s obsession with the eight boys who came back from the dead.

Summary
Yunho thinks that he’ll try to be more like his best friend moving forward.
Eye on the prize. Romance can wait. From now on, it’s rise and grind.
He just wants to focus on his future for a while. Maybe stop obsessing over living in the now like he’s been wont to do for ages.
Work hard. Play hard. Eat, sleep, repeat. Just like Mingi.
(Unfortunately, fate has very different plans for Jeong Yunho.)
