Summary
He tries to imagine it – Jake Sim, with his messy hair slicked back, his usual baggy, striped long sleeve polo swapped out for a tight black t-shirt and a leather jacket. He tries to imagine prancing around him in a leather catsuit, tries to imagine what it’d be like to kiss him, because Mr. Min never shies away from a stage kiss, and Grease required a few of them. He’d probably use way too much tongue. He’d probably tell all his friends that was the only reason he signed up to do the show. He’s probably disappointed that his Sandy isn’t a girl.
Jake looks over his shoulder, meeting eyes with Sunoo, grinning and giving him a thumbs up. Sunoo squints in annoyance, but he doesn’t back down, holding his gaze, trying his very best to express with it, I’m not going anywhere. You don’t scare me.
Or: Sunoo wants everything to be perfect for his first leading role, but his co-star Jake, the infuriatingly charming soccer team captain who definitely auditioned as a joke, is pushing perfection further and further out of reach.

Jake is so precious here! You'd think he'd have some traits of a typical jock that would show later but they don't. I'm so glad. And Sunoo. I get his character. Very real

Summary
Like a switch had been flipped, he was instantly reminded of the dry summer heat of a 2009 July afternoon, scampering around the village with a handful of other kids, stomping on shoelaces in hopes of making someone trip. Melted ice cream and losing games, screaming underwater and chasing one another in the pitch black hours of the night. Dried scabs and clumsy band-aid jobs, clammy fingers gripped tight onto the backs of each other’s t-shirts on the way back home, don’t look behind you, don’t look behind-
Jay swallowed, thick and hard. How could he have forgotten?
“Kim Sunoo,” He spoke at last, winced a bit at how strained his words came out. “It’s nice to see you again.”
(Jay visits his grandparent’s village for the summer, and Kim Sunoo from the lakeside convenience store has grown. Cue the mental decline.)

Summary
Sasuke is tried for the crimes he's committed against Konoha. The elders have no intention of setting him free, so he readies himself for life in prison.
That is until a certain blond, boisterous hero jumps in and saves him by offering up the most logical solution:
“Marriage,” Shikamaru drawled, smoke following the exhale from the pipe he’d been nursing since, well, the beginning of the trial. “You want to marry Sasuke.”

Summary
Renjun waits until Chenle is taking a sip of his tea to tell him, “I’m sleeping with my husband."
Chenle doesn’t quite do a spit-take, but he does start sputtering. “That’s great,” he says, once he recovers. The look on his face says otherwise. “I’m happy for you."
It is kind of great, actually. Or it would be, if Renjun hadn't married Mark for the sole purpose of keeping his visa.
Or: Within the span of one year Mark and Renjun go from being strangers, to friends, to friends with benefits, to lovers. Throughout it all, they're husbands.

Summary
The Huang family has hatred engraved in their veins, a hatred that has lasted for centuries, a hatred as immense as the love for their own kind.
That’s how Renjun learns to love: from hatred. His mom’s tender hands tucking his hair behind his ears at night, before going to sleep, and whispering venom about the Lees, warning him about their youngest son and about all the times Renjun will encounter him when he’s older.
