    Summary

    The selkie inhales, a short, sharp breath. And then he draws up his sealskin over his chest and dissolves into the waves before Joshua can say another word.

    Joshua can’t feel too bad about it. He’ll see him again. Something in him knows, rebelliously.

    Joshua Hong loves a boy with sodden skin and a gaze deeper than the very sea. Wen Junhui's kisses taste of salt and broken promises.

    Summary

    Minghao can be reserved, but he’s not at all too shy to drop the name of his alma mater. Mingyu nods appreciatively, and Minghao is warmed by a surge of pride. “Very impressive. So what you’re saying is one day, you’ll own the Snack N’ Supply instead of working it?”

    Minghao can’t help the way his nose wrinkles at the thought. “I don’t think this is the kind of place I’d buy, even if I was in the market.”

    “Right, you’d rather buy the whole beach?”

    Minghao laughs, light and breathy. He feels hypnotized by this guy. “Yeah, exactly. The whole beach. I’ll be the boss of all of you.”

    Mingyu nods again, a sparkle in his eyes. “I wouldn’t mind being bossed around by you.”

    ---

    Following his college graduation, Minghao decides (against his better judgment) to spend his last summer of freedom in the Southern California beach town of Playa Adora, where nobody gets up before 10 a.m. and you're never more than a mile from the water. He expects he'll get some sun, relax, and maybe make a new friend or two.

    He does not expect Kim Mingyu. And he certainly doesn't expect to fall in love.

    Even though she is just Lee Chaeryeong, preschool teacher, nothing more to South Korea or anyone for that matter, Shin Ryujin’s best-kept secret—still, she knows she deserves so much better.

    ryujin leaves, gets famous, and still comes back to chaeryeong.

    Summary

    “can we please get back to you guys thinking I am in a relationship with jisoo-yah?”

    “relationship is a big word, hyung,” chan says. “we can say ‘situationship’ if you prefer it.”

    “would that imply that we’re not dating?”

    “don’t know.” chan hums. “it would imply that you guys are exclusive, though. which…”

    “no,” jeonghan says quickly.

    “no to what?” seokmin asks.

    “no to the situationship? or being exclusive?” wonwoo furrows his brow.

    “just—no.” jeonghan shakes his head. “no to all of it.”
