Summary
“Is this going to take much longer? It’s very hard to feign sleep this long you know.”
Those words, spoken in a bored, weary rasp startle Jihoon so utterly he fumbles for the first time in his life, losing his grip on the dagger. It bounces off the bed and right into General Choi's hand, who gives it a cursory inspection before tossing it off to the side.
“Well, this is a first. I sincerely hope you have a backup plan.”

Summary
“Alright. I’m listening. Pitch it to me.”
Jin-ho grins, tossing aside his crumbled-up coaster in favour of his beer. “I have a potential client who needs round the clock protection for his son, but my men are a thin on the ground right now, and I don’t want to just put anyone in there. I need someone I can trust.”
Seungcheol grimaces, running his thumb along the condensation on the side of his bottle.
“I don’t think I’d be very good with kids.”“He’s not a kid. He’s actually a very mature, very responsible twenty-five-year-old. A little spoilt, I won’t lie, but he’s also quiet, smart, and more than pulls his weight when it comes to the family business. He doesn’t go out looking for trouble.”
“What does he need a bodyguard for then?”
Jin-ho looks up briefly, and then away. It isn’t like him to be skittish. “He’s an unbonded Omega.”
Seungcheol curls his lip, nodding, “Ah, so Daddy’s worried about the wrong kind of Alpha sniffing about.”
He supposes that makes sense; a sensible investment if you've got the money. Except...what the hell made Jin-ho think he’d be the right kind?”

Summary
As he rounds the side of the house, taking a moment to admire the plain, albeit extensive grounds overlooking a sweeping view of the lake below, he becomes aware of the figure of a large, imposing looking man standing on the veranda, smoking a pipe.
An Alpha—Jihoon’s nose is quick to inform him, moments before his other senses go on high alert.
His first thought is to throw himself in the bushes and hide, but he quickly realises that is, one—beyond childish, and two, completely pointless, as there is no possibility the man has not seen him, or perhaps scented him in turn. Instead, he schools his nerves and continues down the path toward the front door, reminding himself that he has, after all, been invited.

Summary
Seungcheol, a once highly decorated warrior, now exiled and forced to scrape together work as a mercenary with principles, is hired by an old friend to escort his illusive Elvish employer through the savage lowlands. He doesn't expect it to be much of a hardship, but things are never so simple, and he certainly doesn't expect to catch feelings for his former enemy, but they have more in common than they both realise.

Summary
Hyung was always scared of dying alone. He must have felt so alone.
Wonwoo hasn’t cried, not yet. Even now, he can’t manage to summon the tears. Leaning against the brown tile, he shudders through what should be wet sobs, but instead, are dry heaves of air.
Seungcheol must have known what his life was worth, how important it was. Except, how would he, if Wonwoo had never told him?

Seungcheol is shot trying to save Wonwoo's life. Wonwoo spends the next nine hours regretting it.

Summary
Wonwoo’s gaze snaps up, faster than he can dodge. Like a bullet searing through him, pinning him in place. He doesn’t mind it, being pinned.
They both know how to shoot a gun. They can both hit a target without holding their breaths. The difference is, Wonwoo can wield just about anything with equal deadliness. Be it his words or his eyes.
Wonwoo is the chief. He’s also their best agent. Seungcheol likes to forget this constantly, because they’re partners, and that’s what matters.
-
Maybe being in love with your partner isn't the best idea when you’re a spy. Seungcheol saves the world, falls in love, acquires a BMW, and sorts through his moral dilemmas. Not in that order, of course.

“What, never seen a kiss before?” Seungcheol pokes the yellow-striped sleeve of his pajama shirt. “Want to kiss me too, see what it feels like?”
Wonwoo’s nose scrunches up into a disgusted cauliflower. “Hyung.”
"Wonwoo." He smiles through the disappointment. "It was a joke."

Summary
As for the show concept… do you know the conversation that happens right before you fall asleep, like when you’re in bed with someone? Yah, my manager is giving me a dirty look. Noona, I’m thirty one now. We can be frank about these things. Even just a sleepover between friends. Those silly things, or deep thoughts, or confessions. It can be anything, as long as it has that just before sleep quality to it. Would you call it pillow talk? Really, I just wanted to be able to talk about whatever I wanted, but it’s a pretty concept, right?
Seungkwan hosts a late night radio show and Vernon tunes in, eventually.

Summary
Wonwoo dropped a slice of freshly torn parchment in his lap and pressed a dripping quill into his hands. “Write all the names of people who might have any reason to think that you intend to marry, romance, kiss, court, or love them.”
With a suppressed smile, Seungcheol tossed the quill aside and stood up again. “And what are you going to do with them?”
Wonwoo took off his crown and busily occupied himself removing his cape. His back was turned to Seungcheol. “I’ll have them all banished for conspiring against the king.”
Seungcheol could tell that it was supposed to sound like a powerful sovereign, only he sounded less threatening than a purring cat. It was almost a sulk.

Summary
“‘M not drunk! Totally sober! See!” Mingyu then proceeds to completely fail to walk in a straight line. When Seungcheol responds wordlessly with just a raised eyebrow, Mingyu pouts, and then slides to the floor. His friends immediately crowd around him, but he just stares up at Seungcheol with that same, horrendously devastating pout. “I’m not leaving until you put that tattoo on my hip.”
Seungcheol sighs again, holding out a hand to him. “Fine. Come inside.”
--
Or: tattoo artist Seungcheol is eternally weak to a pretty face and a cute smile. Beauty guru YouTuber, bunny slipper wearing Mingyu has both, and a whole lot more that makes him impossible not to love.

Summary
It’s quite typical of Mingyu, in his absolutely smitten and whipped state, to have a confession dream about his best friend’s brother while being asleep next to him. He closes his eyes once again and berates himself over and over, imagining a safe falling onto his head repeatedly to punish him for his shameful behavior, for the terrible crush he’s harbored for nearly a decade now.

Summary
Wonwoo listens, and he remembers, and sometimes he offers his own piece of humanity into the world and tells his own story, because he owes it that much. After everything the universe has given him, the least he could do is offer a bit of his soul back.
