Summary
Jisung is good at three things: avoiding people, hooking up with strangers who don't expect anything, and pretending he doesn't want more.
Minho is good at everything—except understanding why he can't stop looking at the boy with the sad eyes and the scratched-up hands.
As their paths continue to cross, both boys cling to their excuses, using plausible deniability to protect their hearts from the terrifying reality of falling in love.

Summary
“So what’s your call?” Seungmin asked, balancing the coin on his forefinger and thumb.
Minho held up crossed fingers. “Tails.”
“Alright. One, two, three—”
Seungmin flipped the coin in the air, and as soon as it landed in his palm, he slapped it onto the back of his other hand without revealing it.
Minho eyed his two friends warily. “Wait, what’s the punishment if I guess wrong?”
“You have to ask someone out on a date in front of us,” Changbin said.
----------
AKA: It's 1999, and a chance encounter at an arcade leads to an undeniable bond between Minho and Jisung. As they cross the threshold into the new millennium and young adulthood, they try to figure out what it all means, and what they mean to each other.

Summary
“I think… our hearts are in the right place.”
Isn’t that why things have always been this way between them? Isn’t everything they have and haven’t done been out of love? Out of Guilt?
Jisung doesn’t seem to agree.
“Are they?” He challenges. “Because mine’s right here.” Jisung lays his hand across his heart. Then, with the slightest twitch of hesitation, places the same hand across Minho’s chest— Minho’s heart. “And here.”
Minho and Jisung have been in love with each other for as long as they can remember. The strained relationship between their families complicates things.

Summary
Jisung shakes his head, eyes downcast. “I think the only reason I’m talking to you right now is ‘cause I performed CPR eight minutes ago.”
There’s a gentle touch beneath his chin, lifting his gaze back to Minho. “Die and come back, sweetheart, that’s the combo.”
“But you gotta die first.” Jisung grabs his wrist again, his words firm, “and that’s not allowed to happen with me around.”
Jisung, your friendly neighbourhood Spiderman, finds himself attached to the city’s deadliest unkillable mercenary.

Summary
“Sungie,” Chan said, walking up to place a hand on his shoulder, “meet Lee Minho. Minho is a skater that I would like to train starting this season.”
Jisung and Minho accidentally entangled themselves in a panic-induced stare-down, which lasted entirely too long. Minho’s face turned red, the color climbing from his neck all the way up to his ears. Neither of them said anything in the way of a greeting.
“Okay,” Jisung offered after a pause, “what does that have to do with me?”
“Minho,” said Chan, ignoring the question. “This is Han Jisung, he’s my former singles champion and, I hope, your new partner in pairs.”
OR:
Two disgraced figure skating champions make the reluctant decision to team up and compete for the Grand Prix gold medal as the world's only male-male figure skating pair. With their careers on the line, they need to go from rivals to partners and compete with the pros, many of whom are their former colleagues. It would be easier, of course, if they weren't also falling in love with each other.
