Summary
Doyoung steps off the elevator and into the depths of Q Branch to find several of his underlings clustered around one workbench, chattering to each other in low voices. They’re so engrossed in their conversation that they don’t notice his approach - which is how he gets to overhear snatches of what they’re talking about. He almost assumes that it will be the latest sports news - uninteresting, but mundane enough - or maybe whatever album release is coming up.
But no - it’s agency gossip, of course.
Worse: it’s gossip about 007.

Summary
“Why’d you come back?” Jaehyun asks.
There are those who dance around the question, the why of it all. But that’s never been Jaehyun. All he has is all that he is.
Doyoung rewards him with sincerity. “Because some part of me needed to die.”
Or: Doyoung returns to his hometown and finds that everything and nothing about his old friend group has changed in a decade. And of course, there’s the new guy, Jaehyun.

Summary
Jaehyun’s hands cradle his bowl, palms cozy from the emanating heat. There should be more things in between them, he thinks: language and culture, circumstance and interest. Only—here they are. Sitting across each other, feet by feet and hands by hands, elbows knocking on the same wooden table, just a knowing silence living in the distance. So Jaehyun returns a smile and it says, thank you for being this for me, not caring that neither of them know what “this” is, yet.
It’s a feeling he’s accustomed to by now, anyway.
Or: in which Jaehyun and Sicheng both live in Beijing, and they spend a summer falling hopelessly and helplessly in love.

Summary
Sicheng was born to fly. He’s just a little accident prone.
So when he loses balance trying to receive the Quaffle during the Gryffindor-Slytherin match and slips off his broom, all he can wonder before he hits the pitch is how this didn’t happen sooner.

Summary
It isn't Jaehyun's fault that the stranger he pissed off at the cafe is the same stranger who owns the dog that Jaehyun's dog impregnates. In fact, Jaehyun blames it on Fate! It just so happens that Fate is, more or less, on Jaehyun's side.

There is life and death, and then somewhere in between there is Doyoung, who is neither. And still beyond that there is Jaehyun, who seems to be both, even as he washes in on Death’s Door — a human with a soul, however damaged.

Summary
Doyoung really, really hates Jaehyun. She knows hate is a strong word, and that’s exactly why she uses it. It’s certainly the most apt way to describe her feelings for Jaehyun: strong.

It seems Jaehyun is embarking on his fifth attempt at rekindling their romance.
Doyoung is stronger than before, though. (No, he’s actually the weakest he’s ever been.)

Summary
“Hey, come on - maybe this is a blessing in disguise. I mean, you can’t always expect inspiration to strike sitting around in cafes, can you?” Johnny crumples the top of the bag and extends it (a peace offering).
“Ernest Hemingway wrote in cafes,” Doyoung mutters under his breath bitterly as he snatches the scone bag from Johnny’s hands (a reluctant armistice).
“Ernest Hemingway was an alcoholic asshole.” Johnny is far too cheerful when he points this out. “Go find somewhere else to get your inspiration - you’re annoying the customers.”

Doyoung has just endured the Summer Of Hell working in the summer camp department at the aquarium. Summer is finally over, though, and he gets his promised transfer to one of the animal husbandry departments.

There was a problem Jaehyun had that always seemed to be exacerbated by Doyoung’s presence. The problem of opening his mouth when he needed to keep it closed. “You could come over here for the day, if you’d like.”

Summary
Ah. Alright. Jaehyun understands now. These “Paranormal Society” clowns get a free vacation every week of the year where they hunt for an obviously fake monster, and even in the unlikely event that wendigos do turn out to be real - which they aren’t - they’d actually kill them, thereby vindicating all members of the Society of all accountability. Incredible. Taeyong could quite possibly be running the most ingenious scam of all time. Jaehyun almost finds it genuinely impressive.
But Jaehyun looks up into Taeyong’s honey-brown eyes and oh god, he genuinely believes this doesn’t he, he actually thinks that there’s cannibalistic monsters who lives next to the lake and eats people for breakfast.
“I’d love if you’d come with,” Taeyong says, looking up.
Jaehyun instructs his fluttering heart to shut the fuck up and die.

Summary
Jaehyun has never made good decisions when it comes to love, but getting into a secret relationship with one of his coworkers, hooking up with him in the office lounge, and lying about it to his best friend is definitely a new low.
