    Summary

    Minho was silent for a few beats. Over the radio, a man was crooning about his lost love.

    “You don’t want more out of a marriage?”

    It was Jisung’s turn to laugh. “What more is there to ask for?”

    “Attraction,” Minho’s voice sounded odd, almost reluctant. “Intimacy. You really find him…satisfactory?”

    What did Minho know about him, or love, for that matter, anyway? And what right did he have to ask if Seungmin was satisfactory? It wouldn’t be his marriage. It was already hardly his family.

    God damn Minho, Jisung thought, for being so cagey. Mysterious.

    Unfortunately, if there was one thing he couldn’t resist, it was a mystery.

    Summary

    Jisung hardly thinks so. He thinks that Minho’s kitchen is homey and simple and it’s clear that he’s comfortable in it. He fears that Minho won’t feel the same comfortability and familiarity in his own kitchen. He barely uses it as is, so the space isn’t accustomed to someone feeling in their element in it, so he worries that it will translate to Minho as well, and affect his motivation and attitude with his videos.

    Minho’s smile shifts, like it’s his turn to be shy, then scratches the back of his neck in what looks to be subtle embarrassment. “I have a YouTube channel, actually."

    I know, and I love your channel. Maybe a little too much. Jisung bites his tongue from saying that out loud. They’ve barely known each other for an hour and he doesn’t want to freak Minho out by saying that he’s a (very dedicated) fan.

    If it wasn’t ironic enough, picky eater Han Jisung finds himself borderline obsessed with popular food content creator Chef Linoring. When his manager finds it as a way to coax him into willingly eating something other than ramen and fast food, Lee Minho quickly and steadily becomes a prominent figure in his life.

    Summary

    But that’s the thing, isn’t it? Even if Jisung had left his heart alone, Minho would’ve taken pliers to his own chest and broken his ribs into halves to reach in and give his heart to Jisung all the same.

    He knew this from the start.

    Ruined.

    Minho learns what a soulmate is, and how to let Jisung take care of him, too.

    Summary

    Jisung shouted out, alerting both Changbin and the man. When the man turned, Jisung’s blood ran colder than the chill of the sea beneath their hull.

    Feline eyes stared back at him, dark and sharp. Black hair kept out of his face by a red bandana. The man’s eyes were wide in a combination of bewilderment and confusion, though Jisung could see the urge to fight, to kill, within them as well. A billowy white blouse adorned his torso, which Jisung hadn’t noticed the first time the man killed him. He’d been too busy wanting to die.

    Before Jisung could bound forward, the man spun on his heel, disarming Changbin with a flick of his wrist. Changbin cried out as the man’s own blade struck his wrist, cutting deep into the flesh.

    But instead of finishing the job, the man moved at lightning speed, stepping in front of Jisung before he could even blink.

    “Jisung!”

    Changbin’s cry was the last thing he heard before it all went dark once more.

    [or: Jisung can't stop dying, and he remembers each time]
