    Summary

    In the wake of being asked to give a speech at Euijoo’s wedding, who Nicholas hasn’t seen in three years, he’s pulled into all of the memories that have brought them this far– their awkward first encounter in high school, their charged university years– and everything that follows.

    Summary

    “Harua needs stability. Certainty. I can't be chasing something that I'm unsure will work out in the future. It'll only hurt us both in the long run, if I try something then fail.”

    Why? What dreams did you have to give up to raise him? Yudai wants to ask. And then a second later: So how do you know we will work out? What gives you the courage to keep going, and what makes you want to stop? How would I know if I’m someone worth the gamble for the future?

    Alternatively,

    Fuma should have known better than to let himself fall in love with the baker next door. Yudai just needs someone to have a little faith in him. Harua really wants to eat all the bread in the world – and hopefully get taller in the process.

    Summary

    There is a particularly memorable Saturday when Euijoo walks into the room and sees Nicholas texting on his phone and wearing a plaid skirt, his legs bare underneath.

    “Um,” Euijoo says, trying not to swallow his tongue. “Are you going out?”

    “Oh,” Nicholas says. He runs a hand through his hair. “No. I’m just really behind on laundry, actually.”

    Oh, so Nicholas is wearing that to do laundry. That’s… cool. Euijoo doesn’t have an opinion on this at all, mostly because his brain is lagging like it’s on one bar of wifi. He wants to say that Nicholas looks nice, but instead just gives him a thumbs up. Euijoo quietly gets his laptop out of his backpack and considers dropping out of school.

    [In freshman year of university, Euijoo and Nicholas are assigned to be roommates.]

    Summary

    Euijoo’s hushed prayers echo in his ears as he stares ahead at the screens where they display Effie digging into the bowl of names. Nicholas can't think about anything except for a plea to anyone, anything for it to not be Harua. His eyes plant themselves on the rows far ahead of him and Euijoo, practically glaring into the back of Harua's head. His eyes stay stuck onto Harua's chocolate brown strands even when he hears the crinkling of paper over the microphone.

    His heart slows as he listens to her clear her throat into the microphone, hoping that one of Euijoo's many prayers work. He exhales a shaky breath as she opens her mouth to speak.

    “Wang Yixiang!”
