Summary
Matthew has the same dream every night: He sits in a car full of strangers, falls just a little bit in love with the person beside him, and then dies an excruciatingly painful death before waking up.
No one's ever taught him what to do when you fall in love with someone who isn't real.

Summary
Changmin’s hair falls into his eyes, and without thinking, Younghoon reaches out to tuck it behind his ear. He lets his touch linger, fingers brushing Changmin’s cheek, then, more hesitantly, the freckle just below his lip.
There’s always been something there. Unspoken, but hovering in the air between them.

Summary
If not for the faint blue glow in its pupils, one could have easily mistaken the android for a human. It was around average height, svelte but broad-shouldered, with dark, silky, slightly wavy hair just long enough to glance off the collarbones, a sharp jawline, well-defined lips, a subtly aquiline nose, and eyes that held a puppylike innocence.
At nineteen, Kwak Jiseok designs the programming architecture that brings androids into the world. At twenty-four, he's told he only has about five years left to live. As his health declines, he moves out into the countryside to wait for his illness to claim him, with his cat Snoopy for company and android model P5-0912, "Jooyeon", as a live-in nurse and housekeeper.
But then something about Jooyeon begins to change, and Jiseok can no sooner understand it than his own inexplicable feelings.

Summary
Word of advice: Fall in love, but don't literally /fall/. In love.
Or do.
It works out for Gunil. He's got a winged savior who isn't an angel but might as well be. Kim Jungsu, the cupid in love with love, is never able to have it for himself. At least, that's what he's always believed. Sorta. But a cupid's senses never lie.

Summary
“What are you doing here?”
How is he supposed to explain this? That he's following a breadcrumb trail left behind by versions of Hanbin who haven’t met him yet. He thinks of the Hanbin who cried in his backyard, who didn’t speak Mandarin, who didn’t even recognize him until the last second. Who looked at him like he was a lifeline just before he vanished.
He thinks about all the things Hanbin won’t say, and all the things Zhang Hao has figured out anyway, by paying attention, by collecting every fleeting moment and trying to stitch them into something whole.
He doesn’t know what happens next. But he knows that he wants to find out, and that he’s tired of waiting.
“I’m coming to find you.”
Zhang Hao is just trying to survive college when Hanbin appears in his dorm room, and then vanishes before he can ask who he is. Over and over, Hanbin returns, sometimes older or younger, and always out of order. Zhang Hao may not know what the future holds, but he knows he's slowly starting to fall for the time traveler that keeps coming back to him.
