Summary
This is love. Taesan has fallen in a way he promised himself he never would again. He is completely and utterly enamoured. Perhaps he is weaker than he thought. Maybe it was inevitable. This is Jaehyun, after all. Sweet, sweet, Jaehyun. Who couldn’t love him? He makes it so easy.
(Or: Taesan comes to the horrible realization that their current arrangement isn't enough. He wants more than he has.)

Summary
Taesan says, “I think I should break up with Leehan.”
“W-What?” Riwoo chokes, because out of everything he thought Taesan would say, out of all the things that could have been troubling him, he never, not once, thought that it would be this. If only Taesan knew what he was doing to Riwoo. The position he’s putting him in.
(Or: A late night car ride. Feelings Riwoo knows can never be returned.)

Summary
Leehan is fast asleep on the couch, face tipped back against the cushions, mouth open, soft snores escaping his lips. It’s a familiar sight, one he’s long used to now, but it still tugs at the strings of his heart, fills it with love until it swells out of his chest.
Even after all this time, Leehan still waits up for him. He still waits for Riwoo to come home from work every day.
(Or: Riwoo gets back late. Leehan is waiting for him.)

Summary
“You’re lucky you’re so quick,” Jaehyun says scathingly, palms gliding over Taesan’s skin, assessing the damage. “If it got you a second sooner, it would've been a lot worse. It could have hit something vital.”
His stomach churns as he takes in the blood, the clean slice through his side. He’ll never get used to the feeling of having Taesan’s life in his hands, at his fingertips, the weight of the trust Taesan has placed in him.
(Or: Taesan gets hurt. Jaehyun patches him back up.)

Summary
There’s a moment of hesitation, dripping between them, ripe with possibilities and all the things Taesan might say to persuade him to come over. He doesn’t say any of them. He doesn’t need to, and it’s Jaehyun’s fault for expecting anything more from him. Have some self respect, Jaehyun thinks. Don’t go. It’s easy enough to consider but he knows he’ll go without much argument. It’s always like this. Taesan will call and Jaehyun will go.
Taesan is lonely. He misses him. He needs company. He’ll never say that.
(Or: Jaehyun wants more. Taesan wants more. It's complicated.)

Summary
It’s been a month since they started college, different colleges, and a month since Leehan last saw his boyfriend in person.
The bubble by Taesan’s name changes to green. He’s online. Leehan’s chest flutters and his breath stutters in a way that it hasn’t in a long time. Any second now and he’ll call. Leehan will see him again for the first time in a month, moving, breathing, real.
(Or: Leehan, Taesan, a video call.)

Summary
The last time Taesan sees Jaehyun, he leaves him with red swollen eyes and tears streaming down his cheeks.
He doesn't take into account a major flaw in his plan; they've applied to the same college, the same course, the same classes. The first semester starts and Jaehyun slips back into his life piece by piece.
(Or: Taesan breaks up with Jaehyun before summer and deals with the complicated emotions he's left with, burnout, and his shattering family.)

Summary
Taesan can't really remember a time when he didn't know Jaehyun. He's stuck in Taesan like a splinter under the skin that he can’t dig out. Jaehyun is constant. Except when he’s not.
(Or: Taesan and Jaehyun grow up in a small town together. Jaehyun leaves. Taesan stays.)

Summary
They’re caught between the end of their first year and the beginning of their second. In a few weeks they’ll be going different directions as fast as their feet can take them, but, right now, they’re together.
“You--” Jaehyun says, almost too quickly. His hand finds Sungho’s wrist and he curls his fingers around it softly. Sungho hopes Jaehyun can’t feel the way his pulse jumps under his fingertips. “You can stay with me. My bed is big enough for both of us.”
(Or: Jaehyun pushes, Sungho relents.)

Summary
He could never ask Taesan to give it up. This whole protecting thing.
This is his city, where he was born and raised, where his roots have grown and dug themselves into each crack and crevice the streets have to offer. This city is just as much a part of Taesan as he’s part of the city. He has telephone wires for veins, the glow of streetlights in his eyes, flecks of spray paint under his fingernails and a maze of alleys in the lines of his palms.
(Or: Jaehyun deals with the struggle of having Spider-Man as a boyfriend.)

Summary
Taesan finally smiles, and Leehan allows himself a small measure of satisfaction that he’s the cause. Taesan looks down at their hands again, strands of hair falling delicately in his eyes, and Leehan resists the urge to reach forward and tuck them behind his ears. He pushes the bottles of nail polish into Leehan’s hands. “Paint them for me?”
(Or: the intimacy of painting your best friend slash boyfriend's nails.)

Summary
The first time Jaehyun gets the feeling Taesan might be different from their other friends, they’re still trainees. Sitting cross-legged on the studio floor, empty cup noodles steaming in front of them, Taesan is playing Jaehyun one of his self-composed songs from his phone. The tinny sound bounces off the walls and echoes around the small room.
(Or: Jaehyun, Taesan, and all their firsts.)

Summary
"Taesan," Jaehyun calls out in a whisper and steps into the room, moving quietly round to the edge of the bed. "Taesan, I'm home," he tries again, but there's still no response other than the slow rise and fall of the blankets.
In the dim light Jaehyun can just about make out his boyfriend curled up on his side, his leg thrown over the sheets that he has bunched up to his face. His phone sits loosely in his hand next to him, earphones tangled and trailing to his ears, the faint glow of the screen softly illuminating his sleeping face.
(Or: Jaehyun comes home late after a solo live and finds Taesan in his bed.)
