i'm a hot mess (so if you like it) by manofthemer for sunflush

Summary
A figure, hunched over in the doorway, panting. She's swearing grey sweatpants, loose and slung low on her hips, showing off long, long legs, and—Fahlada notes, as the girl straightens, still catching her breath—a tank top that reads: SCHOOL OF COMMUNICATIONS AND MEDIA.
It wouldn't be atypical attire in a lecture theatre elsewhere in the same building. But compared to the fitted athleisure most others in the gym are sporting, the girl sticks out like a sore thumb.
The most significant detail of her outfit, though, is the oversized varsity jacket stretching over her shoulders.
Fahlada's eyes trail up to her face, placing her instantly. Knows what the jacket will read if the girl turns around:
VARISITY BASKETBALL
EARN
27
Earn smiles sheepishly, looking straight at Fahlada. "I'm really sorry I'm late! Have you already started?"
Varsity cheer captain Fahlada has a lot on her plate this season, balancing med school with her newfound captaincy. The basketball team's star shooter showing up for try-outs doesn't make things any easier.

Summary
They're nose to nose, like this. And the truth has held up against the test of time, and this immeasurable distance between them. Chaeryeong's grey eyes are still breathtaking like this, darkened in anger, the sky moments before a storm breaks.
The last time they'd been this close, almost a year ago, exactly, Chaeryeong had kissed her goodbye.

Summary
Her heart feels weak for another reason entirely, now, a familiar, shameful one. Her mind is healthy, racing ahead.
Foolish heart, falling back into old patterns—a known rhythm, a risky one. She doesn't bother praying for Eunbi not to hear it—if she never has before, she won't start now.
"Unnie," she mumbles into Eunbi's hair.

Summary
"You will never be free of her," her mother says. "That is your penance, you realise?"
"No," says Fahlada. She stares down at the nameless body on her lap, throat bleeding in rivulets. Tastes the blood on the back of her fangs and feels nothing. "No, it's my love. It always was."

Summary
"What do you say?" Jaemin asks, pushing his chin up in an impression of haughty noblemen. "Will you be my companion?"
There are many things Jeno could say, in this moment. I am not worthy, or, I am not a toy for you to play with.
Instead, he gives Jaemin what the prince is so clearly trying to coax out of him — a smile. "If that is what you want, then I will."
When Jaemin smiles back, this time, it's blinding, brilliant, beautiful, and real.
Falling in love with him is easy, after that.
Jeno’s father was a king and the son of kings.

Summary
“That’s what this is about?” Mark sets Renjun’s phone down on the table. “You wrote a poem about…a guy that works with cats? At a café?”
“You make it sound stupider than it actually is,” Renjun groans, kicking him from under the table. In all fairness, it is stupid, very much so, but he can’t stand when his own stupidity is recognised by people that aren’t himself, Mark included. “Shut up and tell me if it’s good or not.”
(Or, Chenle works at a cat café part time, and Renjun is entirely normal about it.)

Summary
Minjeong doesn’t recognise the song, doesn’t realise she’s already late for her next tutorial. She’s focused on the people flocking closer, curious about the crowd that had already formed, and lured by the pretty song Yunjin delivers, an irresistible call—one Minjeong herself is tempted to answer.
