Summary
The shower curtain is pulled back and there is Chan, one leg propped up on the lip of the shower tub, his back hunched and head tilted, one hand between his legs and the other holding a razor.
“You’re going to cut yourself like that,” Jisung says instead of something normal like ‘Oh, God,’ or ‘I’m so sorry, hyung,’ or maybe just leaving right away.
“What?” Chan wheezes, and he’s still just standing there too, naked and damp and eyes wider than Jisung has ever seen them.

Summary
He approaches the small building smelling like burnt metal and rubber, furiously banging at the metallic door. When it rises, a figure observes him with a raised eyebrow, leaning against the entrance's frame.
“Chan-ssi?” Jisung’s voice reverb is messed up, he tastes blood as he speaks, his airways feel hot. His scans for the name in his system registers. “Minho…Minho-ssi said you could fix me.”
“I'm quite out of your price range, little one.” he glances at Jisung’s leg, smoking and sparking. Jisung groans in pain as he attempts to move it. Chan squints at it for a second, then seems to scan his entire body. Jisung's vision is flashing alert screens, he feels dizzy. “Though I can take a look.”
“Please do. I'll pay, sir.” Jisung whines in pain, something burning on his right side, where his metallic arm begins. “Anything you want.”
Chan seems pensive for a second, then steps to the side, allowing Jisung it. “I'll see what I can do.”
A runaway cyborg finally hits a wall after an unfortunate encounter in the Weapon's district. A strange shop in the desert is his last resort.

Summary
It keeps coming back to this.
To Chan, to Jisung, to the shitty bar on the corner of their old street, a block away from the apartment they used to share.
Chan doesn’t even drink that much, which is the part that always makes Jisung laugh when he spots him slip in through the creaky door, eyes held low like he doesn’t know exactly where Jisung will be.
The same corner, the same beer that tastes a little like stale piss, and the same guy that Jisung will regret again in the morning.
