Summary
“Are you asking me if I’ve ever been in love?”
Chan hums. “I guess I am,” he muses, gentle and thoughtful. In that kind of sleepy way he does, when his words start to slur together. Leaning into the question fully now, just tired enough to let himself mean it, brain gone all dazed and wobbly.
Jihoon could lie. It’s sitting right on the tip of his tongue, the prepared response whenever someone asks who his songs are about. Memorized, carefully constructed, company approved. He could, but Chan’s heard it a million times over.
“Of course I have,” Jihoon says softly.
Or: Jihoon's heart spills from his chest into Chan's arms.

Summary
Honeybee Bed and Breakfast looks just like it did in the photos, much to Joshua's dismay. He almost hoped he'd have more to complain about - an excuse to call Jeonghan and tell him this will never work, that he's doomed to writer's block forever and no amount of tree hugging will fix him.
But it looks exactly like how it looked online - front porch swing, honeybee door knocker, and all.
How irritating.
Or: A whirlwind summer romance

Summary
He has to get on the bus alone, ignoring the polite smiles of the ahjummas who are only smiling at him because he’s in uniform. The uniform isn’t worthy of their smiles, anyway. They smile at him and they don’t know it’s choking him.
They smile at him and they don’t know that he’s so close to being able to breathe. Just for one night. Just today and tomorrow, until they’re shipping him off to god-knows-where.
Or: Jihoon comes home for his first break since enlisting and Mingyu tries to make the most of their short time together.

Summary
The owner at the good-bagels bodega knows that Wonwoo doesn’t want cheese on his breakfast sandwich, and the Thai restaurant always gets morning deliveries at 8:45am, except when there’s traffic on the way into the city and then the delivery doesn’t come until 9.
Every weekday, he walks down the same street and sees the same places. The same owner at the same bodega.
Except today. Because his legs decided that he would get off at someone else’s stop, and live through someone else’s day instead.
Or: Wonwoo accidentally stalks the pretty boy from the subway and he reacts accordingly (he freaks out).

Summary
He had thought about it a lot, in the beginning. How he would react when Mingyu finally came back. What it would be like. What he might say.
At some points, he thought maybe he would cry. Finally, in a way he hadn’t in so long. At other points, he thought maybe he would yell. Shout all of the things he never got to say when he let Mingyu walk out the door. He thought maybe he would tell Mingyu how unfair it was, that Mingyu decided their future for them.
He’d thought about it a lot. Daydreamed, even. Of the things he may finally say to Mingyu.
But Jihoon’s stuck in place, shoes all but glued to the sticky bar floor as Mingyu stands in front of him, brown eyes as soft and warm as they always were, with his words all dried up in his throat.
Or: Mingyu comes back. He’s the same, but nothing is the same at all.

Summary
“I’m Mingyu,” the man - Mingyu - says, holding out his hand for Jihoon to shake tentatively. His hands are strong, calloused. Quite the opposite of Jihoon’s – Jihoon is clearly made for a life indoors. “Do you need help getting somewhere?”
“Uh … No,” Jihoon says, a little too quickly to seem true. Mingyu raises an eyebrow, like he doesn’t quite believe him. “It’s under control,” he tacks on, hoping he sounds convincing.
“Are you sure? You’re kind of standing in a bush.”
Or: Jihoon embarrasses himself in front of the hot park ranger so he fucks the hot park ranger about it.

Summary
Jun said he should start with ditching the dorky glasses. That maybe it would help. But Wonwoo needs the dorky glasses to see, so that strategy is out of the question.
Instead, he comes to what he considers to be a fool proof plan for becoming Joshua’s 8th best friend.
Or: Joshua is obsessed with his MySpace Top 8. Wonwoo is obsessed with Joshua.
