Summary
Zhou Zishu and Han Ying had needed a housemate. Grad student Wen Kexing had seemed respectable enough at first, however he soon revealed himself to be a brazen, flirtatious, intolerable demon. What's worse is he's even in a terrible rock band called the Ghost Valley and seems hellbent on getting Zhou Zishu to come watch them at the Battle of the Bands.

Summary
Minho is behind the counter, taking orders and misspelling names. Since it’s a university, the coffee shop is fairly full, with a constant background noise of people talking.
Then, out of nowhere, the talking stops, and the thing happens, one of those moments where everybody just collectively decides to fall silent, but one unfortunate soul doesn’t get the memo. In specific, a guy with brown hair and a blue t-shirt sighs into the dead quiet, “Dammit, somebody date me.”
There’s a second where the guy doesn’t realize anything is wrong, but then his expression freezes, and he shrinks down in his seat. Minho is amused, embarrassed on his behalf, all normal reactions. And then the impulse kicks in, the urge to pick the most idiotic and unconventional choice just because he can.
“Okay,” Minho replies, and everybody in the room looks at him. “I will.”
[It isn't fake, but it isn't real, either. Until suddenly, it is.]

Summary
Minho's used to silence. He's used to the way the villagers avoid his eyes when they visit him asking for help, the way they look at him with fear and distrust when they think he can't see. He's used to his world being the sprawling garden within the old ivy-covered iron fence and the familiar warmth of the cottage. He's used to it just being him, his cats, and the old journals.
It isn't until a villager somehow wanders into the garden despite the enchantments that he's faced with how unbearably isolated he's become, or how hard it is to open up to someone after years of being alone— or how freeing it is to know someone understands him.
-
Or, the one where Minho is a lonely village witch and Jisung is a plucky village boy who's determined to befriend him.

Summary
“No, Bin, I’m here...I’m not lost, shut up...Yes, I’m sure this is the right place.”
Jisung glanced up at the Korean and saw a boy around his age walking towards him, phone pressed to his ear and a stuffed duffel bag slung over one shoulder. He caught Jisung’s gaze and rolled his eyes, hanging up on whoever he was talking to and shoving the phone into the back pocket of his dark jeans. The expression on his face told Jisung that the eye roll wasn’t directed towards him, but was the boy’s way of including Jisung in whatever ridiculousness he felt was happening on the phone, and it made Jisung smile. He hadn’t felt included in anything since he’d landed in America.
On top of being ignored at work, Jisung wasn’t having much luck in the friend department at school. His roommate tolerated him at best and he had a few people in his classes who he greeted every day, but his dreams of coffee and shows and strolling down the sidewalk with someone by his side had proved to be just that.
Dreams.
