Summary
There were probably ten million Lee Minhos on the planet. But to Jisung, there was only one that really mattered.
Big teeth. Sharp eyes. Jisung had walked into that practice room and almost ran straight back out, only kept in place by Chan’s firm arms and broad chest.
Twitching ears. Swaying tail. Yellow eyes that pinned him in place, squeezing a series of embarrassing chirps and squeaks from Jisung’s chest. Chan was a puppy--big teeth, sharp eyes, but if you scratched him behind the ears he’d pant happily and roll over to show his belly. Lee Minho was a real predator. Lee Minho was no pet.
Lee Minho was a panther. That kind of predator hybrid was almost unheard of, and most certainly that kind of predator hybrid didn’t become a backup dancer for BTS on their world tour. That kind of predator hybrid lived wild, hunted the forest, naked and feral. Apex predator hybrids, like Lee Minho, panther, did not get kept, did not get had. They held themselves, they owned themselves.
Or; how Han Jisung finds himself in possession of an oversized kitty.

Summary
“Horrifying,” Minho would describe it to their friends, “after completely exhausting me in a two-man game of tag this mooch demanded I make him breakfast. Can you believe?”
(“We have sex, then he cooks. It’s like a fantasy.”)
or, Jisung gets himself into situations. He and Minho are not-dating together. It goes as well as you’d expect.

Summary
“I’m just curious,” Jisung insists. He fidgets on the bed, pressing harder against the cool wall at his back. The words feel wrong in his mouth, like chewing on grains of sand. Like a lie. “Can't a guy be curious about his friends' sex lives?”
Changbin flicks his forehead with aggression that Jisung thinks is wholly unwarranted. “You deserved that,” Changbin informs him and smiles, an awful, knowing smile that makes Jisung instantly uneasy. “Is that what's eating at you, that you’ve never had Minho-hyung like that? Being his self-proclaimed soulmate and favourite person in the world isn’t enough, is it? You want all of him to yourself.” Changbin tsks, wagging a finger at him. “Greedy, greedy Hannie.”

Summary
“Let me tell you why you are currently enjoying my hospitality, and why you will not be for much longer. You come home from university, shocked by, if not actually grieving, your father’s death. While trying to fill the power void left in his absence, you’ve been… how should I say this? A bit lax, in your security measures? Someone has stolen your trade secrets and you want me to get them back. Sorry, dear, but no. I do not involve myself in gang warfare and likewise, I do not make deals with businessmen.”
When Fischer Morrow becomes a victim of corporate espionage, Robert calls upon notorious underground private investigators Miles & Associates to help him recover the company secrets. Featuring earnest scholar Robert; brilliant detective Mal; young, pretty, and not-so-innocent Ariadne; intelligence agent Yusuf; con artist Eames; frighteningly competent Arthur; and the suspicious absence of Dom Cobb.

Summary
“Are you cold?” Eames asks suddenly.
Arthur stops in the middle of wrapping blankets around himself. “Are you not?” he says, defensive.
“Of course, but--” Eames starts forward and, since the rest of his body is bundled up, cups Arthur’s jaw. Like he’s just put his hand in a goddamn fridge. Arthur stares at him, the muscle in his cheek tensing under Eames’s fingers. “--not like that,” Eames finishes.
Arthur closes his eyes when he lets go of his face.
“...My body runs cold,” he says.

Bookmarker's Notes
“Are you an actual contestant, or are you just some sort of guardian pixie sprite that pops up to give me life advice every so often?”
“If I were a guardian pixie sprite, I feel like I’d be able to make ice cream sundaes appear for both of us right now.” There’s a pause, evidently so Ariadne can try to summon by the power of her thoughts some ice cream sundaes. Nothing happens. Ariadne sighs sadly.

As it turns out, there aren’t any rules set in stone for this sort of thing—a demon and an angel wandering the breadth of the world side-by-side, calling it an understanding for the sake of calling it something.
