Summary
They called him the band’s most reliable beta. Level-headed. Steady.
He hadn’t corrected anyone.
Not once in all these years.
Because Seungmin wasn’t a beta.
And the system only worked…
if nobody ever found out.(Or: Seungmin is known as the reliable, no-nonsense beta of the band — precise, calm, and always in control. But beneath the surface, a steady use of suppressants and scent patches lies a carefully guarded secret.)

Summary
“So you’re telling me,” Jeongin starts, slow with evident disbelief. “My God, hyung. This entire time you haven’t bottomed even once. With any of us. Or anyone, ever. After all these years.”
Chan is so embarrassed at this point he considers putting his head in a wall. “Well… I mean… w-why does it matter?”
A pause, and then Jeongin starts smiling one of those slow, evil smiles Chan swears he inherited from Minho. “Do you want me to be your first?”

Summary
“Please, Jeongin. Just drive,” Hyunjin begs. Pleads. His jaw aches from how hard his teeth are clenched. From the corner of his eye he watches Jeongin’s hand start the ignition, shaking as he shifts the car into gear.
“Put your seatbelt on,” Jeongin murmurs. He clears his throat when it takes a second for Hyunjin to react. Then, louder, “I’ll go when you put on your seatbelt.”
Hyunjin scrambles to do as he’s told, fixing his gaze forward again as soon as humanly possible. His white linen jumpsuit feels heavy against his legs, the halter tied behind his neck pulling uncomfortably. The engine revs, and Jeongin peels out of the lot.
The first tears fall when they round the corner, leaving the church in the rear view.
(OR: Hyunjin flees his wedding with his fiancé’s brother; Jeongin is secretly in love with his brother’s fiancé.)

Summary
Dying, trapped in a crack in the world, Jayce has lost almost everything- save the memories. And in the darkness those come out in terrible, technicolor clarity. Every victory, every failure, how it all began- and how it ended. Every single time he stepped over the edge. Every time he fell.
(Jayce hadn't thought anything of him at first- easy to overlook an unwanted bureaucrat- easier still, to overlook a cripple.)
(Something sly about it, the cast of that pale face. Just how bright those golden eyes were, in the black. They seemed to catch the light, reflecting it back, like those of a young fox.)
Of course, falling didn't always hurt. Once, he had fallen in love.

Summary
Minho’s life is a masterclass in monotony: he goes to work, goes to the gym, goes home to his cats. Rinse and repeat. He’s not the kind of person who can make friends, and never will be. But there's something different about Jeongin. Confident, intriguing, magnetic Jeongin, who beckons Minho from his shell with two dimples framing a vulpine smile.
When Minho dies in Jeongin’s arms he discovers that the end of his life is just the beginning.
