    Summary

    One sees fragments of the future — a dropped ice cream, a heartbreak, a kiss that never comes. The other carries the weight of expectation like a second skin. Between them: unsent letters, silent sacrifices, and a love that lives in the space between what was and what might have been.

    Or: the story about two boys who promise ‘forever’ at six and spend twenty years learning what that word really means.

    Summary

    He opens the wooden door and blinks one, two, three times, facing the guy — not man, guy — standing at his porch.
    After spending days looking for a bunch of middle-aged, gray-haired, or cash-rich looking men, he can't hide the surprise on his face as he looks at this guy wearing baggy jeans, a white t-shirt under a hooded jacket and a pair of hoop earrings.
    When he looks at his face, he notices another expression of surprise in his round eyes and soft cheeks.
    “Uhm, I'm here for piano class? Is this Lee's house?”

    or: after being single for years while raising a kid, Minho ends up hooking up with his son's piano tutor, who's extremely hot, sweet, gentle and six years younger than him.

    Summary

    Maybe Nancy just desired her own destruction as a way to atone her guilt, but she was too morally repugnant to the idea of having an actual death-wish. Her love for Robin wisped away like smoke between her fingers - and god, in the sanctuary of her own kitchen she could finally admit that it was love - and it had shoved her heart in a blender; it felt fitting enough to be a punishment, but it was still only a tenth of what she deserved.
