    Summary

    Ricky, a fashion design student on the brink of burnout, has already decided how his story will end—with a quiet exit, a stack of dropout forms, and the belief that staying would only hurt more. His passion has thinned into obligation, and the studio that once felt like home has become a place of constant pressure and self-doubt.

    Then he meets Gyuvin—an engineering student who keeps losing his student card and somehow ends up sitting beside Ricky at exactly the wrong moment. Gyuvin has the body of a model and the mind of a problem-solver, someone who lives in a world of right answers and stable structures. When he learns that Ricky is about to leave, he offers something unexpected, which is himself, not as a solution, but as a muse.

    Summary

    Realistically it’s been less than a week since they last saw each other, but actually having Gyuvin in the same room and staring at him with his earnest, earnest eyes affects him more than he’d like to admit. I’m sorry for avoiding you, Ricky wants to say. If he were a bit braver, he might try a Tell me what you wanted to say, and I promise I’ll listen this time.

    Instead, he scowls and deadpans, “For someone with nothing but Coconut Mall music playing in their head, you fucking suck at this game.”

    Or, Ricky's weakness has always been Gyuvin. Too bad he's terrible at getting his feelings straight

    Summary

    Love, romance, relationships, whatever…maybe some can find happiness with them. But it’s too dangerous. Because just as love can send one’s soul soaring, it can just as easily shred it to pieces. Ricky knows, better than almost anyone, how love feels when it hurts, when it tears the chest and bloodies the lungs and rips the warmth out of the cavity in the ribcage that people call a heart. 

    The immovable object of Ricky's heart, that he has long since closed off to all love, meets the unstoppable force of Kim Gyuvin.

    (All art completed!!)

    Summary

    director shen quanrui, his nameplate reads. or, as gyuvin had been told, ricky.

    “nice to meet you, sir,” gyuvin says, sticking his hand forward. ricky hesitates for a brief moment before he takes it, sleeve riding up the tiniest bit with his outstretched arm. it’s just enough for gyuvin’s eyes to flit down and catch the marks around his wrist, chafed red where the skin has been rubbed raw.

    after a successful career as a child actor turns into years of failed theater gigs as an adult, kim gyuvin finally lands his first real, big boy job in the corporate world. the problems start from day one as soon as he walks into the office, where he finds out that his new boss is actually the hot sub he fucked six ways to sunday in a bdsm club just the night before. the real kicker of it all? gyuvin isn’t even a dom. in fact, he’s a hopeless romantic, missionary-loving, vanilla ass loser. but gyuvin’s acting days aren’t over yet, and he’s willing to put everything on the line to make ricky believe that they’re more than just secret workplace fuckbuddies—even if it means pretending to be someone he's not.
