    Summary

    “Ririka,” Sousuke tries again, more urgently now, his head spinning, “it’s me.”

    She looks at him, her mouth twisted into a grimace. “Am I supposed to know who you are?”

    In his mid-twenties, Shima Sousuke runs into estranged childhood friend Saijou Ririka only to learn that she’s taken a procedure to erase him from her memory. So he takes the most logical course of action: erase his memories of her, too.

    A dysfunctional friendship in retrospect. Loosely based on Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

    Summary

    Han Sooyoung had been used to waking up comfortable in bed, tucked in under the covers and reluctant to leave the warmth of her blankets. Over time she grew used to waking up slumped over her desk instead, her neck and back protesting at the position, her laptop still open on the latest chapter of her other self’s current novel or on an essay for class, and she had to start writing right away despite her entire body feeling sore and exhausted.

    But she’d still take that over waking up in, of all places, a fucking bar.

    or: While writing Ways of Survival, Han Sooyoung of the 1863rd round meets Jung Heewon of the 1864th.

    Summary

    “He’s sick.”

    “Oh.” Yoo Sangah looks shifty — well. Yoo Sangah looks entirely normal and in fact reliable, but Sooyoung’s learned to recognise her mood from how she increases the pace of her fingers tapping against the table. “He won’t be able to join us for any of the trip, then.”

    Sooyoung frowns. “It’s just a day trip, right? Five hours with you can’t be too bad.”

    Yoo Sangah flinches back almost imperceptibly before she sighs. “It’s three days and two nights.”

    When Sooyoung finds Kim Dokja, she’s killing him.

    [or: yoo sangah and han sooyoung have to work together for a graduation trip. cue bickering over dinner options, contemplating rollercoasters as a metaphor for vulnerability, and decidedly Not Thinking about how attractive yoo sangah may or may not be.]

    Summary

    “Can you stand?” the person asks again, almost too kind to believe.

    Jung Heewon takes a deep breath and nods, taking the outstretched hand and letting herself be helped up. “Thanks,” she says, finally looking at the person’s face. “I just—”

    And then she pauses. Blinks. Stares a little, maybe, because the person—the woman—the fucking goddess?—tilts her head and smiles, looking more than a bit confused. “What is it?”

    Jung Heewon is suddenly, extremely glad she hadn’t gotten eaten by that monster a while ago.

    Summary

    “Sooo,” Jung Heewon tries, for maybe the third time since they’ve stepped off her motorbike, “what do you like to do in your free time, Seolhwa-ssi?”

    Lee Seolhwa beams at her, which makes Jung Heewon think she’s finally going to give a workable answer for all of three seconds. “Have you ever had a mushroom garden before, Heewon-ssi? It’s actually quite fun.”

    Maybe, just maybe, Jung Heewon should have listened to Han Sooyoung about this.
