Summary
The third thing he notices is that Minho’s face and his smile are getting closer—that he’s coming straight towards Jisung. He’s obviously not going very fast, both because they’re as close as they are and because there isn’t really a point in him coming closer at all because there’s nothing wrong—Jisung is fine. Jisung is—
“My phone’s at home. You can get warm and dry off while I call you one.”
—fine. What?
“What?”

Or, alternatively, the terrible sort of kindness needed to take care of someone else.

Summary
There are shards of glass scattered across the floor, spilled water spreading over clean tiles, and light from the frosted window over the bathtub cascading over them both, creating a rainbow assortment of shapes on the wall near the door. It’s the perfect backdrop for a painting.
Hyunjin can’t breathe.
Hyunjin is in love with Chan, and he can’t fucking breathe.

Or, Hyunjin and Chan, past to present.

Summary
“Seungmin-hyung?”
It’s Jeongin’s voice. Soft, though with a question in it, like he’s not sure he’s allowed to ask but going for it anyway. It pulls at Seungmin’s feet, making him hesitate, because he was already up and halfway to the door before he realized it. He doesn’t turn around, doesn’t look back, and his hand is clearly still on the doorframe, as though he’s holding himself there, fingers curled over the grooves of the way-too-expensive design.
“Are you—” Jeongin begins, voice strained with uncertainty, like he doesn’t know whether to push, to ask, to dig deeper.
-
Or, the ease at which one falls apart.

Summary
He has been good. He even hoped, at some point, that he could be someone to Minho, someone important; that more than being just an union, they could be a unit: strong and happy together. That if he had to give up on love, he could at least aspire to friendship. That he could be enough. That if he was patient enough, beautiful enough, smart enough, he would eventually earn more than a passing glance, a polite smile and a few words here and there. Jisung’s stupid heart had even fluttered, once upon a time. Evidently, he had been alone in that want so he let that dream go, resigned himself to this reality.
OR
driven by spite over an arranged marriage that he doesn't want, Jisung decides to enter the very selective omega auction, thinking that his fiancé won't care. he has no idea the years of secrets he will unravel.

Summary
“I heard he costs a hundred thousand won.”
“I heard two hundred.”
Jisung winces, but thankfully someone else speaks up before he has to. “You guys are disgusting, and have never been anywhere near Lee Minho’s hole,” says Hyunjin.
“Maybe not, but word on the street is we can afford to.” Jongsu smirks. “I heard he’ll even let you knot, if you pay enough.”Or: Despite his talent, Jisung is lonely and unpopular among the alpha trainees at JYP. Then he hears a rumor about the star of the omega class that changes everything.

Summary
Minho makes a noise in his throat, something between a groan and grunt. “Don’t. Please. Not when I’m here, not when you have me.”
“Do I?” Jisung asks, somewhat bravely. “Do I have you?”
“Yes, you will always have me.”
or —
Jisung jerks off to a recurring fantasy of his best friend, Minho, who discovers him when he comes home unexpectedly early from dance practice. Jisung realizes three things all at once. One, he loves writing music more than life itself. Two, he really fucking hates his degree-path. And three, he might actually be in love with Lee Minho.

Summary
Really, to Seungmin, Changbin’s desire to keep Hyunjin happy probably had more to do with this whole proposal than Changbin’s desire for Seungmin. If Hyunjin asked, Changbin would hand him the moon in a heartbeat, with an extra star thrown in as a gift.
That’s what Seungmin was in this situation.
Changbin and Hyunjin could live their perfect husband and wife relationship together, and Seungmin was a gift. A way for Hyunjin to finally satiate his fascination with Seungmin that had been building for eight long years and a way for Changbin to spoil Hyunjin, like he always did.
Of course, he was the gift.
At least, he was temporarily.
