Summary
Namhae-do. South Gyeongsang's hidden gem is officially on the map, and it's Jung Wooyoung's job to show it off.
Starting with this island, Departure Magazine is kicking off its new series to highlight Korea's littlest known vacation destinations, and Wooyoung is the photographer on the job, tasked with leading the story and shooting the feature. He has just over a week to capture all of Namhae's charms, but this is his first big gig, and he's got a lot to prove. This has to be the story that makes the people fall in love with his work – and him fall in love with his job.
Uncertain about his future and not entirely convinced of the countryside appeal, Wooyoung shows up to Namhae with a little bit of doubt and a lot of grit.
His accommodations? The guest bedroom of the head of the village. His job might not be the only thing he falls for.

Summary
“Eager,” San comments as he curls his finger, and Wooyoung presses his lips together, thighs already trembling. “So, so eager for me. You were right. No one feels like you—but no one feels like me, either. I’ll make you limp for days, princess. You’ll have to walk around with the ghost of me still inside you.”
God. Wooyoung jams his nails into the tiny gap between the bonnet and fender, his eyes slipping closed once more when he feels a second finger prod at his hole. But San pauses—suddenly there’s a hand wrapped around Wooyoung’s throat, and his eyes fly open to see the man glaring at him. “Eyes on me. You don’t look anywhere else. Got it?”
San knows exactly how to drive Wooyoung crazy—on and off the track.

Summary
“This is Wooyoung, he’s my best friend.” San turns to Wooyoung, leaning in far closer than he would while sober and grabbing Wooyoung by the shoulders. They’re basically the same height so it’s oddly jarring to suddenly be so close, noses almost touching. “You know that, right?” San says seriously.
“Uh, yeah,” Wooyoung says. His tongue feels heavy, the words not quite slurred but not quite clear. The world has gone fuzzy around the edges, San’s face is the only thing in focus.
“My best friend. I love you so much, dude. Seriously. I love you, man. I love you.”

Summary
Jung Wooyoung never had a plan, but he had a direction. He wanted to dance. He wanted to lose his breath on the dance floor because that is the only time when he feels like he has his life under control. But recently, he's been losing his breath a lot not from the dance, but from the excitement of having a certain pair of brown eyes settled on him. It was exhilarating to have Choi San's attention, and it was even more exciting to have his lips pressed against his skin.
San couldn't tear his eyes away from the dark haired boy from the first second they found him. It was like all the control was slowly dissipating from his body, his breath picking up the pace, thoughts staggering… and all it took was one look from the very irksome, very stubborn, very very hot Jung Wooyoung.
And it was all too scary.

Summary
“You’re so annoying,” Wooyoung whispered, though his hands betrayed him as they lingered on San’s chest, fingers toying with the soft fabric of his shirt.
“And you love it.”
Wooyoung’s lips parted for a sharp retort, but it never came. Because San wasn’t wrong. And the worst part? He knew it.
His gaze flicked over San’s face, then down the narrow galley toward the lavatory door. The small, occupied sign remained dark. Empty. Convenient.
A terrible idea.
But then, Wooyoung had never been one for self-restraint. “Fine.” The word came out in a low murmur, his fingers curling around San’s wrist. “But if we get caught, I’m telling Yeosang this was your idea.”
San's grin widened, all too pleased. “Deal.”

Summary
"Soulmates were born to find each other and be together no matter what."
A phrase that was constantly repeated among their own and one that they both heard incessantly as they were growing up. However, only one of them was able to understand what that special connection truly meant and the value it possessed.
The idea of meeting his mate was one of the things WooYoung longed for the most, but for San, that idea was one of the things that caused him the most disinterest. It seemed that fate had made a mistake in bringing them together, but the omega would prove him wrong even if his life was withering away in the process, and maybe then the alpha would come to understand.
Because everyone at some point reacts and suffers a revelation, an instant of extreme lucidity, which makes them aware of their mistakes so that they can repair them.
However, some epiphanies come too late.

Summary
In a small apartment filled with quiet tension and fading warmth, Wooyoung and San try to hold together the pieces of a love that keeps shaking beneath their feet. Wooyoung battles inner storms he can’t always explain — bipolar disorder, diagnosed years ago, now swinging between soft light and sharp detonation. San loves him too much to leave, but lately, loving Wooyoung has started to feel like loving a lit fuse. And yet, he stays. Because sometimes, bombs don’t need to be diffused — just held, with care.
This work was based on the song How I Learned To Love The Bomb by Glass Animals - you can listen to it for better experience before/during/after reading ;)

Summary
San’s parents were soulmates. Before he learned anything about soulmates in elementary school, he knew what it meant. Soulmates were fated, born for each other, to be with each other. Soulmates were beautiful. He remembers the pit in his stomach when his teacher explained that most people didn’t have a soulmate. He watched his mum and dad every day, saw the way they moved around each other, worked together, and loved each other from the depths of their souls.
He couldn’t imagine not having that for himself, and for a long time, he looked to the sky every night and hoped that someone out there was born to be with him, born for him.
This wasn’t what he thought having a soulmate would be like. Not what he pictured. He had to remind himself that he and Wooyoung didn’t fit the mold of typical soulmates. They were idols. Cursed to be with each other nearly every waking moment, day and night, but forced to maintain distance.
An incredibly ironic tragedy.
or
San wakes up with a soulmark; It’s going to change everything.
