    Summary

    "Have you ever heard of the red string theory?" Beomgyu questions, playing with a piece of Soobin's hair.

    "What's that?"

    "It's this theory that you're binded to someone by a red string, like a soulmate. What if instead of a red string... We're the only two people that can hear other voices?"

    Choi Soobin has been cursed to hear the thoughts of others, overwhelmed by the constant voices in his head. He wasn't expecting anyone else to have the same condition, especially not his ex-best friend.

    Or, Soobin and Beomgyu find themselves on the same college campus, half way across the world from their childhood homes.

    Summary

    “Have you ever heard about the origami hearts tradition in the hospital?”

    Taking the heart, the child excitedly inspected it, nodding in glee. “Yes! My mama told me that when someone leaves the hospital to go to heaven, we all fold a paper heart for them! Like this, like this!”

    “That’s right,” chuckled Soobin. “But do you know how it started? It started here, in this room. From a boy who used to fold a paper heart every day for his lost love, hoping each one he makes will take him closer to the day those eyes would open again.”

    "Unfortunately for him, the day never came."

    In other words, a hopeless love story of two childhood best friends who didn't realise what it meant to have each other until it was too late; compiled of yearning, loss, forlorn hope, unrequited love, and every tragedy in between.

    Summary

    A world where you’re born with five luminous hearts on the inside of your wrist. When you get your heart broken in any way, one of the hearts loses their colour and fades. Once all five have dimmed, it’s said that you can never fall in love again.

    Enter Choi Beomgyu; a music major with only one heart left, barely hanging on a thin thread. He pledged to himself that he wouldn’t find love again to save him from the curse.

    That changes the day Kang Taehyun joins the picture with five complete hearts, taunting Beomgyu. Out of spite, Beomgyu bets with his friend that he can break at least one of Taehyun’s hearts. What’s one heart less?

    What he didn’t expect was to possibly fall in love in the process, leading to his demise.
