    Summary

    When Jungwon wakes up again, it’s not to his alarm on his phone, nor is it to his members.

    Instead, he’s greeted by the damp nose that is Maeumi’s. It’s a little gross if he’s being honest; he’d much rather an alarm, but hey, at least he’s awa-

    Wait-

    Maeumi?

    Jungwon shoots up, eyes flying open at a speed that’ll make them hurt for the rest of the day.

    Why is Maeumi in their dorm-

    Oh. This is most definitely not their dorm.

    --

    When Jungwon finds himself in a world where his late night ponderings have become reality, he quickly realises that he really can’t live without them.

    (or: the one in which Jungwon takes ‘one, two, connect!’ to another level, and attempts to bring together seven boys whose lives run parallel to each other)

    Summary

    Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 4. 786 & 825 ff (trans. Rieu) (Greek epic C3rd B.C.) :

    "'...Do not let my friends be so unwary as to fall into Charybdis, or at one gulp she will swallow them all. Nor let them go too near the hateful den of Ausonian Scylla, the wicked monster borne to Phorkys by nigh-wandering Hecate, whom men call Crataeis—or she may swoop down, take her pick and destroy them in her terrible jaws. What you must do is so to guide the ship that they escape disaster, if only by a hair's breadth.’"

    A story of seven boys, just trying to find their way home.

    Summary

    He takes the opportunity to look around the room, to see if he recognizes any of his co-habitants, dread overtaking him when he realizes that he definitely does. So far, it’s not looking like a lineup of people he wants to be stuck with all day every day for the next two weeks. Especially not on Christmas.

    And then – like the proverbial cherry on top, Jungwon Yang walks in, all wide eyes and red cheeks, and Riki starts mentally writing out his last will and testament.

    or, where Riki’s nightmare comes to life after he gets left behind at boarding school for the holidays. Jungwon manages to make it feel like a dream he never imagined could come true.

    Summary

    After their first encounter – the one Jake had thought would end in his arrest, but instead ended in him giving his number to a nineteen year old with a promise to consider going on a date with him once he turns twenty – they’d only exchanged texts a couple of times, and none of them were particularly noteworthy. They lost touch, and he thought that would be the end of it.

    And then, five days ago, he opened his locker in the back room of the cafe he’d just worked a full shift at, and there was a text waiting for him on his nearly-dead phone. The contact name read Maybe: Riki, because Jake never saved his number.

     

    hey. it’s my birthday today. i’m twenty

    Summary

    “It’s like, three in the morning,” he says, narrowing his eyes, brows furrowing, looking at Jake like he’s insane. He is insane, probably, a little bit. “Why are you trying to break down anyone’s door at three in the morning?”

    “My – my professor,” Jake manages, knowing that won’t clear anything up but finding himself unable to get any more of an explanation out.

    Something in the guy’s face changes, but Jake doesn’t know what or how, can’t read his reaction in his current state. He’s stunned from the humiliation, unable to move or even breathe, really. “Did he give you a bad grade, or something?”

    “Or something,” Jake mutters.
