    Summary

    The insistent, uncontrollable drive that had consumed him for days was subsiding, its intensity dulling with each passing moment. Clarity began to creep in, slow and unwelcome.  

    And with clarity came the crushing weight of realization of what he had done.

    He had mated Taki.

    "No. No, no, no, no, no. What have I done?"

    Summary

    When legacy heir Maki Saejima impulsively fake-boyfriends a quiet, scholarship student named Taki to dodge yet another arranged date, he thinks it’ll be over in a month. One carefully curated photo, one lie to his grandfather, and a few public appearances — easy.

    But living in someone else’s world comes at its own price — and the longer they pretend, the harder it becomes to tell what’s part of the lie… and what isn’t.

    Summary

    Does Jo like Yuma? Yes. Does Yuma know Jo exists? No. Is Jo planning to do anything about it? Also no. They’re from two different worlds, which, as Jo believes, if collide, will cause an explosion that could create a new universe.

    Summary

    It doesn't help how soft Euijoo looks right now, his red hoodie bringing out the tender brown of his eyes, and the crimson tinging his cheeks. His own order, a slice of chocolate marble cake and an americano, lies forgotten in front of him, as he's more occupied with what Jo is doing.

    Why is he looking at me like that? Jo can't help but think.

    Summary

    Yuma hadn't meant to start noticing things about Jo. It just happened, the way autumn sneaks up on summer — gradually, then all at once. The noticing wasn't the problem. The problem was that once Yuma started, he couldn't seem to stop.

    Oh, he was in trouble.
