    Summary

    The movie goes on, images flickering by on the giant television screen, but Minho finds it hard to pay attention when Jisung stretches and puts his arm on the backrest behind Minho, barely touching him, but in a purposeful way. Like he’s trying to gauge Minho’s reaction, give him space either to pull away or move closer.

    Minho knows what he’s doing, and he hates how much he’s enjoying it, this cliché first-date move. He tips his head back, leaning into Jisung’s touch. It takes all of his might not to do more. The alarms sounding in his head are louder than the screams of the protagonist being murdered in the movie. Don’t do it, they blare. Don’t move.

    And Minho knows, but he still wants.

    (Minho has made peace with the fact that he might be stuck in a loveless arranged marriage for the rest of his life. Somewhere along the line, he meets Jisung, and everything changes. He begins wanting more.)

    Summary

    The conclusion Minho has come to after nights spent thinking of wavy brown hair when he spaces out during Jeongin’s kids shows, days spent with his eyes skimming the beach for a glimpse of honey skin, is that humans have an interest in the unknown.

    Jisung is a new character in his day to day, the first in ages, ever since Hyeju got hired as a lifeguard. Jisung is pretty and he’s from the mainland but he seems to be setting up a life here, and Minho knows nothing about him besides his name. His brain has inexplicably latched onto a weaved story, a routine thing he and Hyunjin do, because humanity craves to learn more about the unknown.

    The Jisung in his head is separate from the Jisung on the beach, though they look the same. A temporary annoyance, a psychological torment.

    (OR: Minho, left to care for his younger brother after his parents death, works to make ends meet and doesn't have time for distractions. Jisung, a free-spirited and very distracting surfer, moves to town and turns Minho's world on it's head.)

    Summary

    “You're new,” Jisung proclaims.

    Minho snorts. “Am I?”

    “Well, I've never seen you here before.”

    “Because you know all of their wedding guests?”

    Jisung has to laugh. “I know most of Hyunjin’s side,” he says.

    “Well obviously I’m a friend of Seungmin’s.”

    Jisung pauses to stare, eyes narrowing with curiosity. “Yeah,” he plays along. “But you’re new.”

    Minho chuckles. “You keep saying that. What does that mean?”

    “I mean that you’re new. Here. Today. New. I’ve experienced this wedding over thirty times now and—” his breath hitches because he really just said that out loud, but there’s an immediate flicker in Minho’s eyes that has him exhaling with relief.

    “Oh. Well.”

    Summary

    “I’m warning you right now, before this goes any further—” Minho threatens, running his finger around the rim of his glass to gather the sugar. “I have a rule that I only sleep with someone once. That’s it. You won’t be the exception, trust me.”

    The guy clears his throat. Blinks. Looks back into Minho’s eyes and settles back into the easy, cocky grin he’s been wearing since he sidled up. “All I need is once to blow your mind,” he drawls, perfectly sleazy.

    (OR: Minho never sleeps with the same guy twice; Jisung becomes a master of disguise)

    Dear neighbour,

    My name is Lee Minho, I'm your neighbour in apartment 142. I'm writing to you today to kindly ask you to lower the volume of your music. It is very bothersome to both me and my three cats, attached is a photo of them so you can understand who you are troubling.

    💌
