How To Know You’re in Love: An Essay
–by Ahn SeongminAs someone who is inexperienced, when told to write a 500-word essay on the topic of love, you tend to find yourself in a little bit of a debacle. Love is hard to come by, as all of you may know – so rare and precious it is, that when you find yourself in love, you either a) freak out, because holy shit this feeling just feels so new and weird and oh my god, are they looking at me right now – or b) have no reaction. Zero. Nothing. Nada. I’ll be focusing on the latter, because it makes me wonder, how can a feeling as strong as love make you feel absolutely nothing?

Summary
Gunil is his hyung and leader. There's a clear boundary between them. The casualness that had been tentatively extended to the others couldn't be given to him.
"What are we now?" Gunil asks as the sun dips below the horizon. The cool twilight light filters in through the windows. "Would you call us Something yet?"
Or: Gunil and Hyeongjun's relationship in the months leading up to their debut.

Summary
“You lied.” Yeosang whispers it into the air, a fragile, soft breath of slight sound, but Wooyoung flinches and takes a step back as if he had been struck. Yeosang is suddenly glad for the dark cover of the alleyway; he’s not sure if he could handle seeing Wooyoung’s face right now.
“I-“ Wooyoung starts, but falls silent at a small, weary sigh from Yeosang.
“You lied to me.” Yeosang says again, but it’s almost like a question. Hurt laces his words, sorrow and betrayal dripping from them like heavy molasses.
He sees Wooyoung’s figure hesitate, feels him fumble for words to somehow make everything better, and Yeosang’s chest throbs painfully.
Magic is bad, magic is bad, magic is bad-
But Wooyoung is good?Or the one where two broken boys slip in between time itself, laying their hearts bare to each other in the ambiguous cover of the city night.

Summary
Jongho had felt like he was falling from the second his final year at university had started, the sands of time slipping past grain by grain as he was swallowed by the inevitable abyss of adulthood. It was terrifying and lonely and far too much to grasp, and no matter which hands reached out to help, he seemed to flounder in the nothingness anyway.
But other than that he was totally fine. Yeah, just fine. And he needed to figure out what Yeosang's favourite drink was before the suspense killed him, so back to work he goes.
(or 5 times jongho makes a drink yeosang doesn't like, +1 time he makes a drink they do like, along with a lot of feelings, found family and futures that end up being much brighter than they first appear to be)

Summary
In the world of powers and heroes, where Yunho is a speedster and a high-tier and duty-bound to become the best hero he can be, there is no room for hopes and dreams. Wanting something, trying to have something, only to realize he could never truly have it, was the worst pain imaginable. Losing who he loved, what he loved, felt like dying. He never wants to feel like that again.
It's easier, he thinks, to never get his hopes up. It's easier to never tempt himself or dream about a life that isn't the one in front of him. It's easier to take what's given to him, accept what it means to only ever be happy enough, and banish the notion of satisfaction. He is a high-tier. It is his duty to become a hero. There is no room for hopes and dreams.
There is no room until Mingi comes in and slowly, gradually, reminds Yunho of what it means to love something so much he would risk everything to keep it in his life.

Summary
The older man was so majestic in every single way possible yet held so many secrets that made him mysterious. It was what attracted Hongjoong to him originally, and after knowing him for so many years, he had hoped that Seonghwa would've been able to open up to him for a change. That hadn’t happened, except once, and that had been a shit show- but Seonghwa had shown Hongjoong a side to him that was raw and strange yet so beautiful at the same time. Hongjoong knew Seonghwa hated it more than he hated his robotics class- but still, the younger craved to see more of that raw Seonghwa.
Hongjoong didn’t want to jinx it, but he could feel that something in the air was different tonight. He didn’t know if it was because they both were soaring high in the sky or what, but something was very different.
Or: Hongjoong had loved Seonghwa since the beginning of time, and it wasn't until their most recent smoking session that the older man finally reveals some rather personal information that had been tormenting him, and Hongjoong lends him a shoulder to cry on.

“You said you’ve been stuck for months. How many?”
Minho eyed the ceiling, counting with his fingers before replying, “Last time I checked, it was the sixth month. So, I think it’s been… eight months now? I’ve kept track of it until…”
He looked at Jisung, who was still waiting for the rest of the sentence without reading between the lines. Minho sighed, “Until I met you.”
Or, Minho is stuck in a time loop and finds comfort in knowing Jisung is always willing to help him—even if he ends up forgetting about him every day.

Jisung, Minho reminded himself. Then his back slammed into a brick wall.

Jisung steps into Minho’s path and the prosecutor looks at him, looks him straight in the eyes, but doesn’t say a word.
Suspicion is thick in his throat, making it hard for Jisung to speak. “You did a good job today, Prosecutor Lee.”
Minho’s eyes widen the slightest when he recognizes Jisung’s voice, and it takes him a moment too long to reply. “You— You came.”
And all of Jisung’s assumptions are proven true with just those few words.
Lee Minho can’t recognize faces.

“Tell me,” She pauses. “What do you think it means to live?”
He blinks. He’d already answered this question, all those years ago. He remembers the day better than any other, in distinct clarity. The way the sun clung to the sky and the way the air stuck to his lungs, the trees and the mountains and every word.
"I am afraid I have already answered this question,” He shuts his eyes on reflex. It feels a bit disrespectful to regard her in such a manner.
She hums. “Not to be alive,” There is a small pause. “To live.”

Summary
Venti is an imposter. He’s a fake. It’s a burden he must carry, living with the knowledge that he doesn’t deserve any of this. The only thing he can do is cling desperately to the lyre’s tune, its enticing melody dragging him deeper and deeper beyond the empty chasm meant to be his heart. He plays, but there’s no love, just an empty sense of duty that he must fulfill. It’s the only way he can keep living— the only way he can think to atone for taking his place.
How ironic, for the God of Freedom himself to be chained down.
Venti, and learning how to move on.
