Summary
On-screen, perfect chemistry. Off-screen, a fake relationship that came with it. When things fell apart, silence did the breaking up for them. When the lines between acting and feeling starts dissolving one scene at a time again, neither of them is sure if they’re rehearsing heartbreak or reliving it. The old wounds are still raw.

Summary
Predictably, Mark falls sick as well.
“Next time, don’t put yourself directly in the line of fire,” says Donghyuck with an eye-roll, even if it is more affectionate and less exasperated. “Have some sense of self-preservation, why don’t you.”
“I know nothing except self-preservation,” says Mark, words decorated with a small laugh. “Trust me, this was an anomaly."

Summary
Donghyuck wants to go home. He wants to throw himself in bed like a dramatic teenager, scream into his pillow, and furiously write all of his overflowing feelings into the pages of his journal. He wants to embrace his hurt, to really feel it for all that it’s worth so maybe it will leave him alone.
Donghyuck wants Mark, but not like this.

Summary
To the left of the altar, where the monotone priest droned on and on, a group of a dozen kids stood off to the side. They were all dressed in white robes, which normally would’ve creeped Mark out – actually, it did creep Mark out – until he honed in on a boy almost hidden in the top row.
The boy’s eyes were wide and unguarded – too innocent, too open, like something not meant for this world. His lips were parted just slightly, full and pink, soft enough to bruise. Mark stared, half in awe, half in hunger.
Or: While escorting his grandmother to church, atheist Mark Lee discovers a real-life angel singing in the choir. Maybe there is a God, after all.

Summary
Sometimes, all love needs is a second chance. Or two. Or a few more, just in case.
Desperation was a bad advisor. Frustration was an even worse one. And yet, Mark was desperate and frustrated when he picked up a bad habit from college again, because it couldn’t do his doomed relationship much more harm. Everything was already falling apart, anyway.
He knew it wouldn’t fix any of his problems. But he never would have guessed it would become a stepping stone for turning his life around.
