    Summary

    Kaveh used to think that Alhaitham had mastered the art of ignoring him. The man would remain unflappable as he continued to read his worn copy of The Origins of Enkanomiyan Language, even when Kaveh was a hair’s breadth away from shattering the windows of their house with his severity of pitch.

    No amount of screaming, threats to throw things, or violently waving in front of him could get Alhaitham to pause in his thirst for knowledge. As it turns out, Alhaitham literally just turns his hearing aids off so he doesn’t have to listen to Kaveh.

    It’s for this exact reason that Kaveh has decided to learn Sumerian Sign Language.

    or,

    Kaveh learns sign language just to continue bickering with Alhaitham.

    Summary

    "What happened last night?" Kaveh asks.

    Alhaitham looks away. You kissed me. We made out for three hours. I took care of you after you fell asleep on me because I do care about you and I'm in love with you.

    "You got drunk and passed out," is what he settles on. "As usual."

    or; whenever Kaveh gets drunk, he kisses Alhaitham. The problem is, he never seems to remember when he wakes up the next morning, and it's breaking Alhaitham's heart.

    Summary

    Five times Kaveh launched a dramatic crusade against perceived rivals for Alhaitham’s attention (with the conviction of a scorned philosopher-architect, involving suspicious soy milk, academic puns, semi-nude modeling, a watercolor balcony, and a flipped symposium chair). And the one time Alhaitham broke his champagne flute—and finally admitted he didn’t want to share.

    Summary

    Go Hyuntak runs his taekwondo classes with quiet discipline and steady patience.
    Keum Seongje runs his dance classes with loud music and louder energy.

    They shouldn’t have to deal with each other—until studio renovations, an overexcited eight-year-old, and a sports day invite put them in the same orbit.

    Between banter that sounds suspiciously like flirting, reluctant teamwork, and a kid convinced they’re already a couple, neither coach is prepared for just how much overlap their lives are about to have.

    Summary

    To watch her Hyuntak quiver and tremble under her constant assault, torn between submitting and falling into her basic instincts—this is what Seongje lives for.
