Summary
Ten’s an artist from a rich, high-society family, with a mother who’s always pressuring him to settle down and get married. But Ten’s love life is far from simple. He’s stuck in a messy, secret entanglement with two guys: Jaehyun Jeong—his on-and-off thing who always keeps him at arm’s length—and Johnny Suh, a longtime rival he can’t stand.
When news breaks that Jaehyun’s getting engaged, Ten does not react. He is left questioning everything—his worth, his choices, and what he really wants. Now he has to decide: keep letting himself be disrespected or take a risk on someone he never thought he’d even consider.

Summary
Eat me.
That’s all it says. There’s nothing on the back of it, no logo or name or address, no small print or ingredients.
Ten pulls gently at the ribbon until the bow drops out and slides his thumb under the edge of the paper to pull it back without tearing it. Inside is another richly decorated cardboard box, black and gold, and when he pulls off the lid he sees nine perfect, identical squares of cake.
He brings it up to his nose to smell it to see if he can detect anything… off about it, but all he smells is the rich dark chocolate.
Fuck it he thinks, and drops it delicately into his mouth, sucking the spots of melted chocolate off his fingers

Summary
As Mark’s head comes to rest on Ten’s shoulder, this foreign feeling of jamais vu intensifies. Sitting on opposite sides of the same small room, it feels like they’re a thousand miles apart. He feels nauseous as he rests his head against Mark’s, pressing his cheek tight to the top of it.
Mark squeezes his knee, alarmed. “You ok, hyung?”, his voice comes small, as if he was dozing off.
“Sure”, Ten is quick to reply, searching for Mark’s cheek blindly to pinch it. Mark whines and complains, his voice increasing in volume rapidly. Ten laughs, and for a moment he feels at ease again, just the familiar I’m about to perform onstage butterflies flying around, but Mark’s sudden noise attracts Johnny’s eyes onto them, and he smiles, soft and loving, as he pulls Donghyuck even closer to his body.
And it hurts so bad Ten doesn’t even know what to do with all this pain that he’s roped himself into.
[or: Ten and Johnny have been together for a few years now, and Ten can’t exactly say things are going as well as he used to dream they would.]

Summary
His blood immediately runs cold, and Ten may have been seconds away from falling asleep before, but now he is wide fucking awake.
No.
Nope.
No fucking way.
—
In which Ten’s one night stand rocks up in a suit to the front of his lecture room, and introduces himself as none other than his professor.
OR: emails, bad decisions, and the excruciating pain of exams.

Summary
Ten knew the clientele like the back of his hand. He knew what they wanted and how far they’d go to attain it. Though he’d bite at the right price, the feeling was seldom mutual.
He couldn’t help it, he had a type, and the sharp-dressed businessman over there checked all the right boxes.
