Summary
Nicholas has a reputation that far exceeds him: a heartbreaker, a flirt, and chronically allergic to feelings. So naturally, when his frat decides to challenge each of the brothers to give up something in what they've dubbed as “Frat Lent,” he’s the first one they call out. He agrees, mostly to prove a point… but when Euijoo shows up, suddenly the challenge isn’t as funny anymore.

Summary
Matthew keeps things orderly—budgets, frat events, emotions. Especially emotions. But one night at the final retreat of his senior year, one hazy, impulsive moment with the one person he’s tried not to notice changes everything.

Summary
It is a stupidly terrifying thought to picture Seoul without Nicholas in it. Nicholas has been less of a friend and more of a fact, something Euijoo never considered removable. And now—maybe he is. Maybe tomorrow or February or some terrible soon, Nicholas will shift categories from person I know like a second self to person I used to know.
And if this goes horribly—if Euijoo does what he’s planning and it detonates right in his face—he can always claim ignorance in the morning. He can blame the beer. He can say he doesn’t remember. Because what he’s about to do is stupid. Not just stupid—borderline catastrophic. But there’s another voice, quieter, stubborn: better to look stupid now than to spend the rest of your life wondering what if.

Summary
“So, what do you think? Will you help me?”
“Hah!” Ricky chokes out a laugh. He sits up straighter. “I don’t really think I’m the right person to find someone to help you commit marriage fraud. Most of the people I know that own property aren’t good people. And they’re old—”
“What?” Gyuvin’s drops his feet off the railing, his sandals hitting the ground with a sharp thwack. “No, Rik, I’m asking you to marry me.”
(OR: Gyuvin and Ricky take the dive and get married for tax benefits.)

SUBJECT: when i met you
ricky,
i found this website, it lets you write emails to people in the future. i thought it would be fun to send it to you ten years from now. can you pretend it’s just as romantic as sending a love letter? haha
i know we will still be together, but i will ask you questions anyways: do you still have dyed hair? what’s your favorite k-drama right now? do you still make me cut your food for you? i think i’ll know the answers but please turn and tell me anyways.
Ten years after their break-up, Ricky receives an email from Kim Gyuvin.
