    Summary

    “Have we ever kissed before?”

    Hanbin froze.

    His entire body stilled, and he blinked down at Hao with wide eyes. His heart skipped—no, slammed—a beat.

    “What?” he whispered, barely able to get the word out.

    Hao blinked slowly, still watching him. “I couldn’t bring him home tonight,” he muttered. “He smelled like you.”

    Hao had a pretty good life with his roommates, Hanbin and Gyuvin. Sure, he was dealing with his own dramatic mess, but maybe the real turning point was when someone dropped the bomb—Hanbin, his roommate and best friend of seven years, had actually been in love with him this whole time!

    Summary

    To Gyuvin, Ricky’s entire life seems like it has been laid out for him—he is handsome, he is rich and most of all he has the job Gyuvin, as his assistant, can only dream of. So when Ricky asks for his hand in marriage to outrun being deported in return of a promotion it definitely feels like the blond is just playing with him for the fun of it. Only when they end up at Gyuvin’s family home in the mountains playing newlyweds does it start to sink in that maybe, this isn’t one big joke after all. And maybe it is starting to feel a bit too real…

    alt: the proposal (2009) au, where ricky barely escapes deportation to china by asking for his assistant’s hand in marriage—add an unexpected family birthday party in the mountains, a whole lot of misunderstandings and another whole lot of talking to perhaps make up for it all)

    Summary

    On paper, Gyu Vin seems to have his life together: a generous monthly paycheck from his nine to five office job, a lavish apartment on the seventh floor of a skyscraper, tight-knit group of friends and family and a girl he's supposed to spend the rest of his life with.

    Yet, there's an aching hole in his heart that no one has managed to patch up. Something about his life feels manufactured, hollow.

    In a fit of desperation and curiosity, craving for a scandalous adrenaline rush to feel among the living, Gyu Vin tries something new, and hires an escort by the name of Ricky. Ricky's everything Gyu Vin isn't, and maybe even more, yet he seems just as bereft of life. Something about him feels so wrong, it's right, and for the first time in Gyu Vin's life, he feels like his existence is more than just a sharp intake of breath.

    Summary

    It would be great if Sung Hanbin's new boss wasn’t the same guy that made Hanbin come twice last Friday night.

    Or: Zhang Hao does not need an assistant and Sung Hanbin does owe Seok Matthew a favor (or a few, really, but who’s keeping count?).
