    Summary

    Jisung leans his head back, lazy. Like he can’t be bothered to pick it up. Like it’s too heavy, or he’s too sleepy. “Do you think it would fuck everything up if we slept together for real?”

    “Everything,” Minho says, not quite a question, but not understanding. A general repetition for the benefit of the both of them. Because his throat hurts a little bit, and he needs a second to swallow it down.

    He brings his hand back to steering. Both of them right where they’re meant to be.

    “Everything, like— us,” Jisung waves his finger between them. “You’re my best friend. And I’m yours. And I’ve always wondered, you know?”

    Minho is white knuckling the wheel. He can still feel Jisung beneath his fingertips, or maybe just within his bloodstream. Injected there to sit. Stay.

    Summary

    “Okay, Jisung. I’ll help you out, because the sooner you realize the better,” Minho frowns, pouring water over his newly mixed teabag. Steam wafts up in a blooming cloud, interrupting his clear view of Jisung.

    “Excuse me?”

    “They’re trying to set us up,” Minho tips his chin in the direction of the matchmakers, all of them tittering and avoiding their eyes to huddle together when Jisung turns around. “They think they have some sort of gift. They’ve been on my ass for years. You’re new, and they lured you in, and now they’re sending you over here to get lemon balm tea because it’s supposed to make you lucky in love. It’s as good as cupid’s arrow around here.”

    “Oh,” Jisung’s throat bobs when he swallows. His cheeks grow even pinker. “I’m not looking for a relationship.”

    Minho snorts, rolling his eyes before he can think better of it. “That makes two of us.” He sets the freshly brewed cup on top of a saucer, slides it on the top of the bar and into Jisung’s hands.

    Summary

    “You really are obsessed with me, aren’t you?”

    “Respectfully.” Changbin nodded. “Yes.”

    Hyunjin’s cheeks puffed with laughter. “Respectfully?”

    “Yeah.” Changbin grinned. “I respect you, and I’m also obsessed with you.”

    Changbin knows its love at first sight. Hyunjin catches up, slowly.

    Summary

    They were on the precipice of something. He could feel it in the quick of his nails and the roots of his teeth. He knew Chan could feel it too, the way they looked at one another, the way their hands lingered. But Felix was on the lip of the void, and his fingers were barely holding on, and no one, not even Chan, would have been able to help him.

    Felix has a hard time feeling like he’s not on the precipice of something again. He just can’t for the life of him figure out what.

    (OR: Felix comes back after a year without Chan.)

    Summary

    The conclusion Minho has come to after nights spent thinking of wavy brown hair when he spaces out during Jeongin’s kids shows, days spent with his eyes skimming the beach for a glimpse of honey skin, is that humans have an interest in the unknown.

    Jisung is a new character in his day to day, the first in ages, ever since Hyeju got hired as a lifeguard. Jisung is pretty and he’s from the mainland but he seems to be setting up a life here, and Minho knows nothing about him besides his name. His brain has inexplicably latched onto a weaved story, a routine thing he and Hyunjin do, because humanity craves to learn more about the unknown.

    The Jisung in his head is separate from the Jisung on the beach, though they look the same. A temporary annoyance, a psychological torment.

    (OR: Minho, left to care for his younger brother after his parents death, works to make ends meet and doesn't have time for distractions. Jisung, a free-spirited and very distracting surfer, moves to town and turns Minho's world on it's head.)
