Summary
“Okay, Jisung. I’ll help you out, because the sooner you realize the better,” Minho frowns, pouring water over his newly mixed teabag. Steam wafts up in a blooming cloud, interrupting his clear view of Jisung.
“Excuse me?”
“They’re trying to set us up,” Minho tips his chin in the direction of the matchmakers, all of them tittering and avoiding their eyes to huddle together when Jisung turns around. “They think they have some sort of gift. They’ve been on my ass for years. You’re new, and they lured you in, and now they’re sending you over here to get lemon balm tea because it’s supposed to make you lucky in love. It’s as good as cupid’s arrow around here.”
“Oh,” Jisung’s throat bobs when he swallows. His cheeks grow even pinker. “I’m not looking for a relationship.”
Minho snorts, rolling his eyes before he can think better of it. “That makes two of us.” He sets the freshly brewed cup on top of a saucer, slides it on the top of the bar and into Jisung’s hands.

Summary
The conclusion Minho has come to after nights spent thinking of wavy brown hair when he spaces out during Jeongin’s kids shows, days spent with his eyes skimming the beach for a glimpse of honey skin, is that humans have an interest in the unknown.
Jisung is a new character in his day to day, the first in ages, ever since Hyeju got hired as a lifeguard. Jisung is pretty and he’s from the mainland but he seems to be setting up a life here, and Minho knows nothing about him besides his name. His brain has inexplicably latched onto a weaved story, a routine thing he and Hyunjin do, because humanity craves to learn more about the unknown.
The Jisung in his head is separate from the Jisung on the beach, though they look the same. A temporary annoyance, a psychological torment.
(OR: Minho, left to care for his younger brother after his parents death, works to make ends meet and doesn't have time for distractions. Jisung, a free-spirited and very distracting surfer, moves to town and turns Minho's world on it's head.)

Summary
"Fine. But if you screw me over, I'll kill you. Understand?"
Lee Know nodded, a slight smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. "Likewise."
***
The world ended a lot quicker than Jisung would've expected.
After a mutated virus escaped from laboratory containment in Seattle, it ran rampant throughout the city, turning its victims into bloody monsters that sought to infect every last human being alive. Han Jisung, a study abroad student in the Pacific Northwest, was saved him from infection by a last minute camping trip with his roommates. After being separated from his best friend, Hwang Hyunjin, Jisung is forced to undertake an arduous journey down the West Coast to find him, all while meeting a few interesting characters along the way.

Summary
“Aigoo, you’re really one of us then.”
“Oh. Um—” Jisung is aware that he really should clarify things, but words completely escape him at the moment.
“Yeah.” The lone man of the group shoots him a small, yet strangely blinding smile. “We’re all single parents here.”
“Oh.” Jisung, it seems, has completely fumbled his vocabulary.
“Come sit with us,” the group’s leader gestures to him. “You can share our lamentations. We all help each other out here.”
in which: Jisung’s life had been stuck in place for a while—same routines, same days, nothing really changing. Then he befriends a sharp-tongued teenager, somehow ends up in a single parents’ support group pretending to be his dad, and, for the first time in a long time, things start to move again.
