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.

Summary
Ricky had never had nightmares, but it seemed whenever he closed his eyes, his dreams of meandering rivers and rolling hills were replaced with fire, scalding and hot and burning everything, with Gyuvin and Ricky wrapped tightly in its epicentre.

Summary
Gyuvin works the night shift at the gas station everyone in this small town is aware exists, but refuses to go to because it’s creepy and old and quite frankly, in the middle of nowhere. Insert Ricky: lost city boy with an ancient, dying car who pulls up at 12:37 in the morning. Everyone knows that cell service is shit in the very outskirts of Tongyeong, so the two are stuck together until the morning. A lot can happen in the following seven hours; in fact, they might just fall in love.
How two strangers find comfort in each other at the height of summer in a broken-down gas station.

Summary
“I got an acceptance letter today,” Ricky says softly, when the jets begin to slow.
Gyuvin inhales through his nose. Ice forms in the pit of his stomach, steaming against the warm water.
“Really?”
“Yeah. Otis. Los Angeles.”
“That’s… fuck. Ricky. That’s amazing.”
It is amazing. So amazing, he can almost sound like he means it.
or: the bittersweetness of summer flings, hot tub jets, and diverging paths.

With Frank Ocean as the soundtrack to their lives, the two boys attempt to navigate the winding complexities of youth as well as the love and loneliness that come with growing up.
alternatively, a coming-of-age story where gyuricky learn the hard way that they're the only ones who truly and completely understand each other despite their insurmountable differences

Summary
Ricky hates how Gyuvin spends most of his time playing League of Legends instead of spending quality time with him. Desperate times call desperate measures, and Ricky is desperate to get his boyfriend off the fucking game and start fucking him instead.

Summary
Gyuvin grows tired of Ricky for the first time in his life. The hunger in his stomach has turned into fatigue and he no longer wants to add fuel to the flames that fire his feelings towards his best friend. Ricky is an inconsiderate kid waving candy in a baby’s face, and Gyuvin's sweet tooth is fading into only needing something sour.
Gyuvin finds himself unconditionally devoted to a boy who fell into his life…literally…

Summary
Gyuvin should really get checked for the kind of stuff his mind has been running lately. Either he’s depraved or he’s in love with his best friend. Maybe both? At the same time? Gyuvin has never liked a guy before but he doesn’t think Ricky would kiss like a guy. He moisturizes too well so when Gyuvin holds his hands it feels like a girl’s. Delicate and dainty especially when held against Gyuvin’s much larger unmanicured hands. Ricky would always complain about his chewed-through fingernails and dry knuckles but the contrast looks good together. How coupley. Boyfriend girlfriend like. Ricky’s lips are never chapped and always pretty and Gyuvin thinks he’s soft enough that he obviously wouldn’t fight him for control of the kiss. Open his mouth and take it well maybe. Kiss a little shy. Definitely pliant. Too girly so Gyuvin doesn’t think it counts. He would probably even be strawberry-flavored.
