Summary
Burned out and restless, Yonghoon returns to a familiar place from his childhood that he hasn’t visited in years, searching for comfort in the sound of the waves he thought he’d long outgrown.
But the ocean still remembers him. And so does someone else.

Summary
All it takes is a world tour for Yonghoon to break.
He doesn't know when it shifts. It begins quietly, like fog rolling in across a familiar street. But then it grows. It pulls and folds and winds itself around them, and no one knows anymore where the performance ends and the real thing begins.
Yonghoon doesn’t see it at first. Doesn’t feel it until it’s already in his lungs, already settled under his skin.

Summary
In his last moments, Yoongi thinks of sunrise. The way its light would paint Hoseok in such an ethereal glow that, sometimes, had Yoongi struggling to believe he was real. The way it still does, even years later, even if now Hoseok is only the empty and broken shell of everything he used to be.
[or: Yoongi and Hoseok were once something beautiful, and now they're something else entirely. They end like any other tragedy does.]

"My ex is here."
"That ex?"
The one you broke up with for stupid reasons, like a stupid idiot, but never really stopped loving?

"Well, shit."

Summary
There is a kind of love that is simple and special at the same time. A kind of love that comes and turns your world upside down, and you enjoy it until you die or until you learn to live for real. A kind of love that lets you go, or that you let go of, but that never really goes anywhere and that you never really keep out of sight. A kind of love that eventually comes back, and you realize that you always hoped or you always knew. And you let it turn your world upside down again. And again. And again.
[or: Jimin and Taehyung meet and fall in love when they're young and carefree, then meet again ten years later and nothing really has changed.]

Summary
“Would you like to come over to my place?”
“Your place?” Hyungu repeated as he pulled his backpack on. He and Yonghoon had been friends for a while now, and coworkers even longer, but he’d never been over to Yonghoon’s house. “Now?”
Yonghoon nodded, standing up a little straighter. “And we, uh,” he said, pausing for a moment as his tongue darted out to wet his lips, “we could have some ramyeon, while you’re there. If you'd want to.”

Summary
They’re silent for a second, now done. Hyungu looks down at his lap, where the material of his wedding clothes pools.
“You will meet the Prince tomorrow,” Dongmyeong gushes, “are you excited?”
Hyungu grows a bit warm at the question, feeling nerves tighten his stomach, “I am not sure,” he mumbles, looks at the two who are looking right back at him, “I don’t even know his name.”
“A mysterious man,” Dongmyeong is teasing him again.
“Prince Jin Yonghoon,” Giwook says, “he’s been travelling abroad, makes sense you haven’t heard his name in the courts."

Summary
He grips the railing tightly, convinced that this must be a dream – this orange camper van, this blond man standing next to him in a purple hoodie, this excited woman with braided hair telling him about a pod of orca as though it were a completely normal human experience for a Korean city-dweller to have.
Moments like these, Yonghoon remembers why he’s a poet.
_____
Or: Yonghoon falls in love with Hyungu in the Shetland Islands, because these are lawless times and I write what I want.
