Summary
Yuma has always been a whirlwind of sharp edges and sudden, intense fixations. Jo has always been the steady, unbothered shadow capable of matching his Tokyo-minute stride. But when a month of careful distance leaves Yuma drowning in severe insecurity and hormone-driven panic, their domestic routine fractures.
A look into a week of agonizing misunderstandings, midnight food cravings, and the absolute chaos of a first trimester that neither of them actually saw coming.

Summary
Jo didn't want a sugar baby; he wanted to finish his thesis in peace. But thanks to a forced profile and a lot of peer pressure, he’s now the benefactor to Nakakita Yuma—a boy who looks like a god and acts like a hurricane.
Jo is a genius in the lab but a total fraud in the hotel suite. Armed with nothing but academic research on dominant energy and a silk shirt that feels like a costume, he’s determined to survive the night without failing his most complicated case study yet. But as the night progresses, Jo quickly realizes that Yuma is the only variable his spreadsheets could never have calculated.

Summary
Nicholas is all sharp edges and expensive shadows. Euijoo is all soft knits and morning light.
They were never meant to be more than a morning drop-off and an afternoon pickup, but through the eyes of a four-year-old named Haru, they're just 'Nini' and 'Jju-ssaem'—two people who like cats, tangerines, and each other, even if they're both too stubborn to admit it.

Summary
The scent of citrus cleaner couldn't cover the smell of smoke. The expensive sweaters couldn't hide the bruising longing. Euijoo had spent three years trying to turn himself into a man who didn't need the ring, but one night at the academy proved that some rhythms are impossible to forget.
What starts as a sparring session to test their reflexes ends as a desperate reclamation. Nicholas is done mopping up the mess of their past—he’s ready to make a new one, right on top of the desk where Euijoo tried to sign him away.

Summary
It started with a crashed laptop in a crowded cafe and a stranger with a devastating smirk who refused to let Euijoo apologize his way out of a date.
Six months later, Euijoo is still worried about being too heavy, too tall, and too much. Nicholas, however, has a very physical way of proving him wrong.

Summary
They called it the Mirror Tide—a moment when the sky and the sea trade places, and the glass between worlds cracks just enough to let the light through.
Jo was sixteen when he first saw Yuma through the fracture. He was seventeen when he realized the universe doesn't give gifts without taking a payment in blood. At twenty-five, Jo is done being a ghost, and he’s done being the "good son." He just wants the impossible boy with the sunset hair to stay.

Summary
Asakura Jo has two faces. One belongs to the top-tier Specialist who views Yuma as a biological disaster to be studied. The other belongs to the lonely man who brings the stray home and tends to his wounds.
Yuma knows he should run. He knows the "Protector" is a lie—but his body is already beginning to purr at Jo's touch.

Summary
The party was too loud, the drinks were too sweet, and Yudai was being way too persistent. When the bottle stops at Jo's sneakers, he's pretty sure that his heart might actually stop, too.
Seven minutes in a dark closet with Yuma is supposed to be a joke, but as the door clicks shut, the silence starts to feel a lot more like a confession.
Or: The one where Jo and Yuma are both waiting for a sign, and it takes a hallway closet for them to finally find one.

Summary
"I'd rather be alone than sit here wondering when the Three-Week King is going to decide I'm not worth the effort anymore."
Jo meant for the words to be a shield, but they ended up being a grenade. When Yuma slams the door on the February 12th, the silence left behind is suffocating. He doesn't know about the basement kitchen, the frantic tempering of chocolate, or the help from the chaotic boyfriends from the hall.
A Valentine's Day special about the messiness of first times, the weight of fifteen years of pining, and the silver rings that promise a future with a lot more windows.
