Summary
Jisung moved to the desk by the window, setting the hefty manual aside with a soft thud. He needed a plan. Running his fingers through his already messy hair, he pulled his worn notebook from his backpack. The same one filled with half-finished lyrics and melody ideas that came to him at 3 AM. Flipping to a clean page, Jisung clicked his pen several times as he stared at the blank paper. Cat Sitting for Dummies, he wrote at the top of the page, underlining it twice for emphasis. Or how to make Minho's cats fall in love with me in ten steps. This was just like studying for an exam, right? Break it down into manageable chunks. He glanced over at Minho's encyclopedia of cat care, feeling his stomach tighten. Step One: Convince Minho and his cats that I already understand the mysterious creatures I'm about to cohabitate with.

Or: Broke grad student Jisung takes a cat sitting job despite knowing nothing about cats. He concocts a plan to make sure Minho and his cats don’t want to fire him (only to end up wanting to keep them forever).

Summary
Jisung blinks. “You kissed me just to shut me up?” He wishes he would do it again. Should he start rambling? Suddenly he finds his mind utterly blank.
“To shut you up, yes,” Seungmin affirms. “But also because you’re in love with me.”
In… love…? Jisung doesn’t think he knows what love is. “Did I write that?” he wonders stupidly. “Oh my god, I don’t even remember if I wrote that.”
“Not in so many words,” Seungmin explains. “But it’s—god, you didn’t even read it back?”
“I was scared to,” he admits. “I’m in love with you?”
Wherein Jisung is really fucking weird about his roommate.

Summary
“Is there a theme for this album?” Seungmin asks. “A collection of diss tracks, perhaps?”
“More like a collection of love letters,” Jisung says. He doesn’t look at Seungmin while he says it, but he does look after. He sees in Seungmin everything he’s been afraid Seungmin will see in him. So much tenderness, so much understanding, so much history.
“Yeah?” Seungmin asks.
“Yeah,” Jisung answers.
…
Jisung is an idol in the midst of a career ruining scandal that leaves him socially isolated. He seeks out his old childhood best friend, Seungmin, but finds that reconciliation doesn’t come easily. After all, he and Seungmin have a complicated past, and an even more complicated future ahead of them.

Not a dream. Not a metaphor. A story. The story.
