Summary
“It must be hard to know your soulmate will hate you, right? How do you feel about that?”
Soobin is only getting older and subjected to living with a prevalent soulmark—a stark, blisteringly red handprint straight across his cheek. The depth of the color signifies how harsh the contact will be: an indiscreet slap, surely, as each outline of every finger is sharp and far too perfect to ignore.
He's been told that meeting one’s soulmate is the best experience in life, that once it happens, he’ll never want to look back. He just isn’t sure how much he believes them, nor is he confident that there’s anything that can truly, deeply console him, to ease the ache of knowing that one day, he will meet his soulmate, and they will despise him.

Summary
"Is it weird to feel like I've known you forever?"
"It would be, but I feel the same."
"We were made for this, weren't we?"
"For all of this. For everything."
Beomgyu meets Soobin in every life.

Summary
"I wouldn't mind kissing you," Beomgyu blurts, and immediately feels heat rush into his cheeks. "You're my best friend. You know, the one person I find the most comfort in… or… whatever."
"Only if you're certain, hyung," Kai says, firmly. Beomgyu isn't certain at all, but a tugging feeling in the pit of his belly keeps him from taking back his words.
If Kai thinks so lightly of this, then surely, Beomgyu can handle it.
A kiss. Just one. No biggie.

Summary
The world is ending in twenty-four hours.
"Just had to be the sun, right?" Beomgyu says, nonchalantly, as if he saw it coming; loudly so amongst the crowd, although no one responds. Soobin has never heard a crowd so quiet. "The universe could at least try to be unique."

Summary
"Do you think it's a big deal?" Every fiber of his being says so – yes, this is nothing to be taken lightly. Beomgyu is in love and he knows, he knows, he knows.
"It's not a big deal, Gyu. It's love," Soobin says, as though it's self explanatory. "Love is scary and stupid. It isn't painless, much less magical. But it's worth not running away from. It can be growth or comfort or passion or… all three. And more."
Beomgyu wanted to know what a kiss felt like, is all. He definitely didn't ask to fall in love with his best friend, who kisses like his life depends on it.

Summary
The stories say a siren's song is to be feared. They call it a curse, a death sentence.
They are wrong. The song is simply a beginning. The real danger is far softer, slower, and sweeter, a doom borne upon the siren's kiss.
Whatever the truth, Viktor has no cause for concern. For what would a siren want from a broken man like him, fleeing a lonely life in Piltover to another by the sea?
