    Summary

    Jake has always carried a weight he didn’t know how to name, something he tucked away between the smiles and the long days of training. Coming back to Korea meant chasing his dream—but it also meant facing the parts of himself he’d been afraid to accept. With Sunghoon by his side, the journey becomes softer, slower, and unexpectedly warmer.

    Summary

    God. This guy. His best friend. The only person who can calm him down with a mere nudge.

    Jake would marry him if he could.

    Not like- in a weird way. Just in a best friend way.

    Like being close. Forever. With joint Spotify playlists and matching pyjamas and their dogs.

    Okay, and maybe a shared bed.

    But in a completely platonic way. Duh.

    or

    Jake and Sunghoon end up somewhere a little more than best friends and a little less than lovers.

    Summary

    Wanting, Jaeyun knows, is supposed to be private.

    This does not feel private at all.

    He wants Sunghoon to see him. Not in the abstract, indulgent way one sees a student or a guest or someone pleasant enough to be tolerated. He wants Sunghoon to register him as specific. As someone who might be remembered after summer loosens its hold and everyone returns to their real lives.

    Summer will end. Everything does.

    And yet, even as he practices caution, something in him leans forward anyway, reckless and hopeful, toward the possibility of being undone.

    Or: Sim Jaeyun goes to Italy to work on his thesis and instead develops a deeply inconvenient infatuation to his married host.
