    Summary

    It was supposed to be simple — no labels, no expectations, no questions. Just two best friends and a quiet agreement to blur the lines behind closed doors.

    But want is never quiet. And somewhere between late nights, lingering touches, and everything left unsaid, Jihoon begins to wonder when pretending stopped feeling safe—and started feeling like heartbreak.

    Summary

    "The connection is supposed to be difficult, but it isn’t. It’s easy, warm, much smoother than the book had said it would be. Jihoon hears Soonyoung’s quiet gasp and squeezes his hand in reassurance and feels the way he relaxes at the motion. They’re okay. They can feel it.

    Jihoon hopes he’s doing it right. Somehow, he knows they are.
    ...
    There’s a loud crash and a blinding light as the magic races across the courtyard. The aether pulses and condenses, forming into a fine mist that settles over and on each and every enemy facing them. He sees it land. He sees them struggle. He feels Soonyoung grasping at his shoulders and hears him call his name. He sees the soldiers fall.

    And then he sees nothing."

    or, Jihoon has lived his entire life knowing his magic would get him killed--that is, if his feral childhood friend doesn't do it first. He never would've guessed that an evil magic school, a journey, and a new country later, he'd be finding love instead.

    Summary

    They’ve hated each other for years. arguing through shifts, and pretending the tension between them isn’t scorching everything in its path.

    Station 14 is loud, crowded, and too small to hide from each other for long, especially when the job keeps pulling them closer. They share drills. Share nights. And somewhere between the shouting and silence, something starts to give.

    Summary

    Although here he was again, being kissed against some wall again, clothes hastily being taken off again— Jihoon still knew better than to disregard his own attachments for someone, in exchange for being their fuck-buddy. Yet ironically enough, that's exactly what he forgets with Kwon Soonyoung.

    In the latter's defense, however, he could definitely say that he was just trying to get by, merely following (read: miserably failing) his own silly rules. With Lee Jihoon, Soonyoung finds himself breaking a few too many, which include 1) "Always be..." 2) "Don't get..." 3) "Never agree..." and 4) "Learn when..."

    For two people who are both greatly alike and different, it's a little puzzling to solve their dynamic. But it just might be them who'll figure it out themselves.
