Summary
Jisung doesn’t look anything but composed and unagitated, even in the midst of this chaos. But Minho has to assume that that is part of his job—to keep calm in the face of danger. And Minho knows that Jisung is capable, that he can protect himself, but there’s worry wedged deep within him, worry that makes him want to reach out to Jisung for reassurance. But he doesn’t.
Instead he whispers a faint “Stay safe” that, although they’re surrounded by people and tears and noise is somehow heard, as Jisung repeats it back to him. And even if he hadn’t heard the reply, Minho can see in Jisung’s eyes that he’s sincere.
That he truly is wishing for Minho’s safety.
For a moment, all there is is them. There’s no disaster, there are no victims to be treated. It’s just them.
But moments like these don't last, not for them, because Han Jisung is a police officer and Lee Minho is a doctor, and around them, peace will always be matched with turmoil.
2022 update: changed to a oneshot, may add chapters in the future.

Summary
“You think I wanna watch my own fucking back and yours?”
Jisung squares his shoulders, defiant now. “If you had been alone, the situation would’ve turned out the same way.”
Minho’s lip curls. “The same way?”
Jisung nods. “I wouldn’t have been able to fight it off of you. I wouldn’t have been able to do shit.”
“I wasn’t alone. That’s the difference. I wasn’t alone, and neither were you, but you sure as hell acted like it.”
or: the world’s falling apart—death, betrayal, and monsters that used to be people. minho’s just trying to survive what’s left of it. jisung makes that harder. he’s the wrong person at the worst time, and nothing about this is simple.

Summary
Minho is tired. He’s so, so tired, and he’s felt unsafe in his own life since the day he discovered Seojoon and his lover in his bed. At work, in Minho’s flat, at his favourite park with the hideous fountain, he’s always listening for footsteps behind him, braced for impact and seeing danger everywhere with his nerves feeling peeled raw. He’s spiralling downward, he knows he is, and he’s not even sure what’s real anymore.
Making a deal with a demon isn’t the worst-case scenario right now.

Summary
Jisung runs through every tube of acrylics he owns in a desperate attempt to squash how anxious he feels at the thought of getting to know someone new, his brushstrokes harsh and uneven through the late hours of the night. It takes several canvases for him to realize that he needs to do something about it.
—
Jisung, a struggling artist, meets Minho in one of his exhibitions. Unassuming at first, Jisung doesn't realize that Minho is far too familiar with his art and has been wanting to meet the artist for a long time.
And he is willing to take Jisung's offer to see the world through different lenses.

Summary
"Merpeople aren't real," Jisung blurts out, his statement contradicted before it's even out of his mouth as he stares at the shimmering blue tail attached to the man in his pool.
"Oh, sorry. Let me go inform my entire society that we don't exist," the man - the merman - snarks, hissing as he tugs on the net stuck under his scales.
Jisung has a lot of questions, some of them scientific and most of them stupid, but the stupidest one of all is somehow the one his brain lets slip past his lips. "How do you piss?"
(OR: Minho comes to shore determined to prove that love isn't real. Jisung thinks he can prove him wrong in order to get his wish of getting out of his hometown. Things do not go as planned for either of them.)
