    Summary

    Heart rabbiting, Minho peels his hoodie away from his chest and peers down, because surely he forgot to take the alpha’s shirt off this morning, and that’s what he’s smelling—but he has no such luck.

    He’s going crazy. He must be. He’s imagined smells before, the most random things at random times, but he’s never sensed them this vividly, like he could reach out and touch the alpha, taste the chocolate and orange all the way on the back of his tongue—

    Minho chuckles quietly to himself, humorless, maniacal. This is simply not happening.

    (or: The anonymous alpha whose clothes Minho has been buying for months ends up in his class; Jisung can't figure out how his new project partner could be so sour, yet so sweet.)

    Summary

    Minho ignores the sound of his heart sinking down like the wreckage of an abandoned ship, because the key word here is that it’s abandoned; Minho’s heart beating all loud in the vacuum space of his chest is old news, nobody is close enough to hear it, not even Minho anymore. So he chooses to focus on what’s important: helping Jisung.

    "So, What are you gonna do about it?"

    “I was thinking maybe I could trick my brain by going on something like a date before hooking up with Doyun hyung. If I can fulfill my emotional needs, maybe it’ll be easier to fulfill my sexual ones. So—” Jisung stops, straightens up and clears his throat, speaks all theatrically.

    “Minho hyung, will you go out on a date with me?”

    - - - - - -

    or: Jisung can't have casual sex without feeling an emotional connection, so he asks Minho to take him out on platonic dates before his hookups. And Minho is nothing if not a good friend, and a pathetically weak man.

    Summary

    Would Minho have sex with him? Would he want to? The thought turns Jisung’s stomach. He doesn’t want Minho to get the wrong idea about why he comes here, why he’s meeting up with him.

    “I’m straight,” he blurts, without prompting, heartbeat heavy in his fingers, his cheeks, behind his eyes.

    Minho twists around so that the chains of his swing are crossed, staring Jisung dead on with his eyebrows raised. “Um. Okay? I’m not trying to sleep with you.”

    Shame burns deep in Jisung’s insides, through the cavity of his chest, between his bones. “I–I know,” he stutters. “I’m–” swallowing back bile, something sharp. “Sorry, I don’t know why I said that.”

    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.”
