Summary
“Hyunjin is dead,” Jeongin breathed. He looked up to see the others stare back at him with wide eyes, Hyunjin towering over them at the back, the light from the window in the hallway lighting up his figure. “They told me he was dead.”
Hyunjin's dark eyes found Jeongin’s tearful ones.
“Not dead,” Hyunjin said with a poisonous smile. “Just gay.”
Or: Jeongin has spent years mourning the loss of his first love, a love he was told by his church was sinful and wrong, but one he just couldn't stop from blooming in his chest. Now, years later, Jeongin meets Hyunjin again, very alive and also very different from how he used to be back in their shared church.

Summary
Jisung lingers in the kitchen while the guys chat around the dinner table, just on the other side of the counter. He feels awkward, but he doesn’t want to make anyone uncomfortable with it, so he keeps his mouth shut. He washes the spoons and puts everything back in its place while they talk about how the road’s been, how’s life. He listens in, but Minho doesn’t say much. He probably doesn’t want to speak in front of Jisung, who’s not privy to be a part of his life anymore. Not allowed to know him at all.
Of course, he can’t blame Minho for not wanting to talk to him beyond simple cordiality. If Jisung was in his shoes, he wouldn’t want to talk to himself, either.
(Two years ago, Minho and Jisung broke up. Now, they’re both in attendance for Changbin’s bachelor’s party, and old wounds get re-opened.)

Summary
The movie goes on, images flickering by on the giant television screen, but Minho finds it hard to pay attention when Jisung stretches and puts his arm on the backrest behind Minho, barely touching him, but in a purposeful way. Like he’s trying to gauge Minho’s reaction, give him space either to pull away or move closer.
Minho knows what he’s doing, and he hates how much he’s enjoying it, this cliché first-date move. He tips his head back, leaning into Jisung’s touch. It takes all of his might not to do more. The alarms sounding in his head are louder than the screams of the protagonist being murdered in the movie. Don’t do it, they blare. Don’t move.
And Minho knows, but he still wants.
(Minho has made peace with the fact that he might be stuck in a loveless arranged marriage for the rest of his life. Somewhere along the line, he meets Jisung, and everything changes. He begins wanting more.)
