    Summary

    Jongseong comes to a ruined manor and a husband still half-haunted by war. Spring comes late here—slow, stubborn, breathtaking.

    But so does love.
    What begins as an arranged marriage becomes the story of two men rebuilding everything they thought they’d lost: a home, a future, and each other.

    Summary

    “Yep, that’s Jake,” Jay had told him once, pausing the accursed video Jungwon had taken of the experience to zoom in on the stranger’s face. “He’s one of Heeseung-hyung’s friends. Don’t know much more than that. Seems cool.”

    Standing before Sunoo now, Jake definitely does appear “cool,” in some sense of the word. He’s older than Sunoo – likely a year above him, at least. His stance is relaxed, his expression chipper, and he seems to actually want to be here, which is more than Sunoo can say for his past group project partners. Of all the people he could have been paired with for this final assignment, this certainly isn’t a bad one to land with.

    Now if only Sunoo hadn’t drunkenly waxed poetry about the guy’s bone structure to his face at a random party surrounded by multitudes of people.

    Summary

    And the drama of it all is stupid. It really is. Jake is back-hugging Jay so that Jay can’t look at him, they’re alone in the kitchen, and Jay’s muscles are tight enough to feel like he wants to bolt. They’ve been arguing for more than a year, they couldn’t stand one another for more than ten months, and here they are. Back-hugging in the kitchen. Any more dramatic and this could be the sinking of the Titanic.
    “You made me feel bad,” Jay whispers.

    (Or: Jake and Jay live together. They hate each other. Then they stop living together. And then one day Jake hugs Jay's back and hides his face in Jay's nape.)

    Summary

    You’re not taking too much space. You’re not a stray. You’re home — if you want it.”

    Riki never meant to stay — just steal a wallet, survive another night, and disappear. But Heeseung’s coat is warm, Jake’s ramyeon tastes like safety, and the shed out back is waiting for his hands to fix it — and maybe, if he’s brave enough, he can find his way home too.

    Summary

    “Jake,” Sunghoon whispers, curling himself even more into Jake.
    Hiding from Jay.
    Jake’s smile gets a bit bigger, a bit faker. “I’ll tell you about it a bit later, yeah?”
    “Sure,” Jay says. He looks at them on the bed, the way Sunghoon can’t look at him and the way Jake looks good enough to eat, and adds “I’ll be outside, see you later”.

    (Or: Jake has two boyfriends. Jay is one of them. This is not a problem for Jay. The problem is that Sunghoon can't look at Jay.)
