Summary
If Seonghwa could, he would freeze this moment in a frame and stay like this forever. Or he would put this day, this moment, back on replay and keep reliving it time and time again.

Summary
Hongjoong understands something he hadn’t dared to believe before: wanting this is okay. He is allowed to be okay, and there is nothing wrong with him. It’s okay, Hongjoong thinks. I’m okay. And he believes it, maybe for the first time.
He knows he will be eternally grateful to Seonghwa for being the first person to make him feel that way.Or,
Set in the 80s, academics Hongjoong and Seonghwa travel to Europe for the summer to finish writing their theses. -

Summary
Seonghwa is looking down at his unfinished food, taking a deep breath as if bracing himself for what he’s about to say. “It’s just that Jiwoong and I broke up yesterday.”
“Thank God.” As soon as Hongjoong realizes what he’s blurted out, he covers his mouth with both of his hands.
What is wrong with him?

Summary
As Seonghwa’s own body relaxes, his mind drifts. But even in this hazy state, one thought crystallizes with absolute clarity: he has never known such contentment. For someone who has always chased after the next goal for as long as he can remember, always seeking perfection, the stillness of this very moment is overwhelming in the best way possible.
Or,
After their Coachella stage, Hongjoong helps Seonghwa unwind, and an evening full of care turns into the moment Seonghwa finally asks the question he’s been carrying for months. -

Summary
“I kept thinking about all the things we could have been doing had we been alone.”
The words landed heavily, making Hongjoong's breath catch. He played it off as coughing to clear his throat. Seonghwa's eyebrow twitched almost imperceptibly as he let out a huff through his smirk.
“It’s not exactly a common sight,” Seonghwa continued, voice having dropped a little, “to have the Kim Hongjoong standing there with his abs on full display for everyone to see, you know? And I was lucky enough to see it first-hand… during our very first shoot together.”

Summary
“Why are you here?” Hongjoong shoots the last question back, trying not to let his curiosity show.
“Because I’m stuck in a time loop and can’t leave,” Seonghwa says, in that deep mellow voice that goes perfectly with his beautiful face. Looking down at his flexed hand, one corner of Seonghwa’s mouth lifts, eyes following, and he teases: “How’s that for an answer?”
Hongjoong’s breath catches as he tries to laugh. “Ridiculous.”
Or, Hongjoong’s never expected to get trapped in a time loop with his one-night stand.

Summary
It's so easy for Seonghwa to admire Hongjoong when they're up close like this. He looks beautiful against the backdrop of the decorations, his features softened under the glow of the Christmas lights. Hongjoong looks a little bit like an elf himself, and Seonghwa wants to tease him for it, just to see the way Hongjoong's face will scrunch up in mock-displeasure. He wants to kiss him, too, and in another universe, he would right here where everyone can see them, because Hongjoong would still be his and he'd have the right to do that.

Hongjoong's unexpected appearance at a Christmas market turns Seonghwa's hopes into reality.

Summary
“You should at least set some rules,” Seonghwa said.
“Hm.”
It was a valid argument, but Hongjoong knew the others.
At worst, he’d get his wallet hurt with expensive sneakers and designer sunglasses, or get his patience tested with an amusement park day trip. They all had limits, and so did Hongjoong, but saying he would consider anything they asked for was not as grand a statement as promising they would get it.
Or, Hongjoong finds verbalising his own desires a task beyond his depth.

Summary
“Yah, Park Seonghwa!” Hongjoong yells into the room—the only in the shack, a kitchen and an office and a bedroom all in one—and his voice echoes off the sparse furnishings. “Why are you hiding, huh?”
Nothing moves. The flickering light by the door casts shadows of Hongjoong’s unwashed dishes, the clothes piled over every horizontal surface, painting grotesque silhouettes on the walls. One of them sticks out, a different scale, a shadow that seems to grow the longer Hongjoong looks at it. He sets his plastic bag down before turning around.
“Hongjoong-ah.”
Or, the world is ending in a few days, and Hongjoong gets a visitor.

Summary
Ever since she was a little girl, Seonghwa has tried her best not to be selfish. She’s always tried to be the bigger person: the person who picks whatever is left after everyone else has made their choice, the person who makes sure that other people are happy first. It’s the people-pleaser in you, unnie, Wooyoung once told her over a bottle of soju.
Whatever it is, Seonghwa has always made the effort. Be hungry, she used to tell herself before it became second nature, but don’t be greedy.
It’s not that easy with Hongjoong.
Seonghwa, Hongjoong, and the art of looking.
