Summary
As he starts to pick apart his appearance in the mirror, the intercom inside the bathroom buzzes and the pilot announces that the plane will start its descend towards Incheon Airport. He feels his stomach churn when he feels the plane slowly declining in height, a few hundred meters at a time.
It’s when he pulls his pants up and tries to make himself look presentable—pasting on the version of himself that’s safe to show—that he realizes something about his fear of heights.
Maybe it’s not the height he’s afraid of, it’s the falling.

Before he could do it, Euijoo speaks up. “Have we met before?”

“You look—” Euijoo trails off, “very familiar.”

Summary
It’s nearing one in the morning when Jiung finally decides to turn his light off and leave the workshop. When he opens the back door, he finds Intak leaning back against the wall across the narrow alley, a boyish smile on his lips.
“Hey hyung,” he greets, hands in the pockets of his worn out cargo pants.
“You were here ten days ago,” Jiung notes. “What the hell is it this time?”
“Am I not allowed to simply miss you?”
or, Jiung is Intak's mechanic. And friend. He thinks.

Summary
Hedgehog's dilemma is a metaphor conceived by German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer to illustrate the challenges of human intimacy; a group of hedgehogs will huddle together to stave off the cold. But they cannot get too close, lest they injure each other with their sharp spines. Similarly, regardless of intent, acts of intimacy will always run the risk of mutual harm.
Kei-hyung's voice is too high and rapid when he asks, “So, how do you feel about being a J-Pop star instead of a K-Pop star?”
Taki smiles at him in turn. The exact way he says it is, “I want to debut with you, Kei-hyung.”

Summary
Yudai pulls his heart from his chest with his bare hands and splits it up into eight pieces.
He does it because it’s what he knows how to do best; what he’s learned helps temper him. It’s a bloody, messy thing like everything always is with him— but he cuts it carefully nonetheless. Eight perfect pieces. None smaller or bigger than the other. A piece for each of them.

or: the one where Yudai knows his heart is better suited for someone who isn't him.Bookmarked by lightfallings

Summary
“Uh, second of all,” Jo continues, “how would we pretend… to be… boyfriends? I told you, I’m bad at lying.”
“Well, I’m good at lying, so I’d do most of it,” Yuma says. “Maybe I’d tell people that one day, I saw your contact and hit you up out of the blue, because I always thought that you were attractive back in university. And then we went on a couple of dates, and I ended up really falling for you, and you returned my feelings. All you would have to do is look at me like you like me.”
Jo frowns.
“Yeah, that might be too hard for you,” Yuma concedes.
[Yuma needs a fake boyfriend. Jo is a terrible actor.]

Summary
“You have a crush on Chan, then?” Minho asks, head tilting.
The question catches Seungmin off guard, even if he knows he’s probably teasing.
“I…,” he starts, blush creeping up his neck as Minho continues staring at him, waiting for an answer. Maybe he was serious. “No, I don’t.”
Minho hums. “Yeah. I am more your type anyway.”

Summary
Niki shrugs. “I know you don’t like me.”
He says it so bluntly, with such brazen confidence, that it gives the feeling that nothing Jungwon could say could change his mind. “I don’t dislike you,” Jungwon says automatically, and Niki just looks at him, such intense eye contact he feels himself start to crumble instantly. “I don’t know you.”
Niki’s expression is unreadable. “Do you want to?”
In the spring of his seventh year at Hogwarts, Head Boy and Quidditch Captain Yang Jungwon already has enough on his mind: NEWT exams, his Muggle parents' sky high expectations, being scouted by professional Quidditch teams, and his crippling fears about his own future.
Add tutoring his best friend's ex into the mix, and Jungwon isn't sure that he's going to make it to graduation unscathed.

Jisung shifts to face Hyunjin fully. His face is cast mostly in shadow by the barren branches overhead, blocking the glow of the city, but his eyes gleam warm and almost gentle in the dim light.

Summary
Minho looks at the younger man and sees every version of themselves. He sees them at nine and seven, meeting for the first time. He sees them at sixteen and fourteen, wondering when the distance between them started feeling so far. And he sees them now at twenty-five and twenty-three, trying to figure out what they are to each other now that “just friends” doesn’t feel like enough and “lovers” might be going too fast.
But then Seungmin is taking his hand with an easy smile on his face and leading him inside from the chilly winter air, and Minho finds that they don’t need to be anything more or less than just Minho and Seungmin right now.
OR
Seungmin and Minho are constants in each other’s lives.

Summary
When Hyunjin wakes up with a horrible cold, the last thing he needs is someone to take care of him. Not his meddling flatmate, and especially not his very sweet but easily worried boyfriend. He will be just fine on his own, thank you very much.
