    Summary

    It is a stupidly terrifying thought to picture Seoul without Nicholas in it. Nicholas has been less of a friend and more of a fact, something Euijoo never considered removable. And now—maybe he is. Maybe tomorrow or February or some terrible soon, Nicholas will shift categories from person I know like a second self to person I used to know.

    And if this goes horribly—if Euijoo does what he’s planning and it detonates right in his face—he can always claim ignorance in the morning. He can blame the beer. He can say he doesn’t remember. Because what he’s about to do is stupid. Not just stupid—borderline catastrophic. But there’s another voice, quieter, stubborn: better to look stupid now than to spend the rest of your life wondering what if.

    Summary


    “What are you doing?” Nicholas says, unable to keep the panic out of his voice.

    “Relax,” Euijoo says, enclosing a hand around Nicholas’ wrist. He tugs gently, pulling it upwards to rest on top of Euijoo's head. “Here. Play with my hair.”

    If Nicholas wasn't already lying down, he would've fainted.

    Or, Nicholas and Euijoo are forced to share a bed after a hotel mix up but Nicholas can’t sleep. Luckily, Euijoo has an idea.

    Summary

    The first time Euijoo comes to pick Seokryu up without Nicholas in the passenger seat, Jihye looks genuinely shocked.

    “You know,” Euijoo says dryly, strapping Seokryu into her car seat, “Nicholas has a life outside of me, right?”

    “Funny,” she says, “it doesn’t seem like he knows that.”

    She gives him a look that makes him drop his eyes again, warmth at the tips of his ears. He escapes at a perfectly safe and reasonable speed limit, then sits in the car once he pulls into his apartment parking lot and boxes that thought away with all his other inconvenient thoughts.

    -
    or: the one where Euijoo's one night stand ends in him being a father at age 26. He finds himself leaning on Nicholas, the three of them more and more entwined with each passing year.

    Summary

    “I think the kids might be a little… you know… scared of him.”

    Fuma raised an eyebrow. “Which ones?”

    Euijoo froze. “...I’m sorry?”

    “Which kids do you think are scared of Nicholas? Did any of them mention something to you?”

    “It’s not that they mentioned anything per se.”

    “Are any of them acting differently around him?”

    “Well… no.”

    Fuma blinked a few times, waiting for Euijoo to elaborate or offer up some sort of actual explanation then. He didn’t – just stood there with his arms crossed too tightly across his chest to be casual, one of his hike-worn sneakers thumping an offbeat rhythm against the wooden floor.

    Fuma’s eyebrows pulled together slowly. “Then I don’t follow.”

    “Fine, it’s me, okay? He scares me.”

    Summary

    "Things like what?" Nico presses, his frustration mounting. He switches to Japanese, trying to get them on even footing again.

    They’d agreed on this. Japanese for arguments, so Euijoo doesn’t have that advantage. Their Japanese isn’t perfect—it never will be—but that is the point. This way, neither of them can fall back on language as a weapon. It is supposed to level the field, make things fair.

    "Existing in the same space as you? Breathing the same air? Tell me, Euijoo, what exactly am I doing wrong here?"

    The words hang in the air between them, heavy and charged. Euijoo's eyes dart away, focusing on a point just over Nico's shoulder. "You know what I mean," he mutters.

    In Korean.

    Summary

    Nicholas has a reputation that far exceeds him: a heartbreaker, a flirt, and chronically allergic to feelings. So naturally, when his frat decides to challenge each of the brothers to give up something in what they've dubbed as “Frat Lent,” he’s the first one they call out. He agrees, mostly to prove a point… but when Euijoo shows up, suddenly the challenge isn’t as funny anymore.

    Summary

    “Nichol! when we get back to the city, d’ya wanna keep in touch?” Euijoo asked over the edge of the canoes they were stacking.

    Nicholas shrugged “sure why not” he mumbled and looked up in time to see the toothy grin splitting Euijoos round tan face.

    there it was again, his heart jack hammering and the sun warming his skin too much.

    “great give me your phone!” he put his dainty palm out and Nicho unlocked and dropped his phone in his hand.

    He watched with a smile as Euijoo put his contact in and looked up at him happily, he felt that hot summer heat radiating inside of him and felt panic rise as he realized.

    ‘oh fuck i think i like him’

    Summary

    “Her name is Minji,” He starts, watching with poorly concealed wonder as Nicholas hoists her up into his arms, her head laid on his shoulder, “She… I’ve never met her. But she had nowhere to go, Nico. I couldn’t… I couldn’t just leave her.”

    Nicholas licks his lips. Minji has taken to him easily, clinging to him just like she had Euijoo. It’s unfortunate, how much she looks like him. Fine strands of brown hair and mono-lidded eyes that crinkle in the corners. If she’s so distantly related, then why can Nicholas almost believe she’s his daughter?

    He clears his throat, looking back up. Euijoo’s hands are still paused mid-air, from where he’d handed Minji off, “You’re lucky your roommate majors in childhood psychology, then.”

    Summary

    “Let me dry your hair,” Euijoo blurts, unable to watch the other look so crestfallen for some reason. He clears his throat when Nicholas’ gaze turns unsure, tired. “So you don’t get more sick. My mom said that you’re not supposed to sleep with a wet head–”

    “Okay,” Nicholas interrupts, eyes softening and Euijoo feels a little spark distantly go off in his chest. “Yeah, come dry my hair while we wait for the food.”

    Summary

    “And now, let’s dive deeper into the interview,” Seungkwan announced, glancing at his cue card. “Dokyeom, please tell us what you’ve been up to.”

    “I’ve been taking a break after working on some projects,” Dokyeom replied. “And I’ve been exercising a lot. I’ve recently been into weight training—”

    Splash.

    Chan gasped at the shock of the freezing water that once again crashed onto him. He’d only just managed to gulp a breath before Dokyeom repeated those dreaded words with a tone of growing curiosity.

    Splash.

    He gasped once more. And before he could protest, again—

    “Weight training?”

    Splash.

    He could hardly catch his breath now, could hardly open his eyes as the frigid water clung to his hair and eyelashes.

    This was starting to get less fun.

    During the filming of their latest Going Seventeen episode, Lee Chan has a bad time.

    But there's always a rainbow after a storm.

    Summary

    Alex wasn’t made to be the type of person that will cook someone breakfast in the morning. Dancing around with someone he loves in his underwear isn’t something he gets to have. He’s awful at remembering anniversaries and inept at thinking of grand romantic gestures. Candlelit dinners, handmade cards, buying flowers—it’s just not what he’s built for.

    And that’s fine.

    Alex doesn't need any brave hero to save him, and he sure as hell was never meant to be anyone else's prince charming.

    That's why this—his thing with Henry—is the perfect solution.

    Summary

    “I missed you,” Wonwoo says, smiling softly, still looking him right in his eyes.

    Perhaps Mingyu should be alarmed by how fast his walls come down, how easily his discomfort is washed away. But how is he supposed to do anything other than smile when Wonwoo is looking at him as softly as he is now.

    His eyes study every inch of his face but instead of seeing the first person to ever break his heart, Mingyu sees the first person to ever love him. The boy that carried him home when he broke his arm, that used to kiss him in the back of the cinema. The boy that took him on dates and teased him about anything and everything one could possibly be teased for. The boy that spent seventeen good years by his side.

    It’s disgraceful, the power that Wonwoo still has over him. Three little words and Mingyu is ready to sweep all their bullshit under the rug.

    “I missed you too.” It’s almost a whisper.

     

    Or: Mingyu comes back to his hometown after 5 years away and tries to reconnect with old friends (and an old lover).

    Summary

    “Hyung?” he asks. Juyeon looks up immediately, eyes wide as if Eric’s voice had just pulled him out of a deep trance. Eric can’t see him very well with half of his face squished into his arm, but he thinks Juyeon’s reactions are a little odd.

    “What are you doing here?” he asks again.

    Juyeon blinks. “Got kicked out of the game,” he says, voice flat.

    Eric is stunned by the revelation, and confused. What could Juyeon, the star player of their team, have done to get kicked out of a game?

    “What for?” he asks, voice barely above a whisper due to the shock.

    Juyeon is silent for a few seconds, eyes diverting away from Eric. He’s back at staring between his knees now, his hands balling into fists.

    “Game misconduct. For fighting.”

    First Knock to Forever

    Maybe their lives were always meant to be tangled. Maybe Joshua—devoted but exhausted single dad—and Jeonghan—who had everything but never really enough—were always meant to find their way to each other.

    Seungkwan certainly thought so. (Vernon and his parents thought so too.) Not that his dad and Hannie didn't.

    "No, Seungkwan, Hannie cannot buy you the entire cake shop. And Jeonghan, don’t even think about it."

    Or—

    The author wrote single dad Joshua and flirty, soft Jeonghan because she had to. She needed kid Seungkwan in her life.

    Dino has always known that change is inevitable.

    But when his hyungs start leaving—some for the military, some for solo careers—the fear of losing what they have begins to consume him. He tries to hide it, convincing himself he’ll be fine..

    But when he finally breaks, his hyungs are there—holding him, reassuring him, reminding him that no matter how much time passes or how far they go, their bond will never change.

    Because family isn’t about always being together—it’s about always finding your way back to each other.
