    Summary

    It’s the nights that are the worst.

    At night, with the creeping silence of the dead hour the only thing keeping him company at three in the morning, Hongjoong can do nothing but feel it. The sensation crawls under his skin like a million tiny ants. The noise in his ears is unbearable.

    Hongjoong is a popular artist and successful producer suffering from insomnia. Seonghwa hosts a late night radio show. They've been orbiting each other for a long time.

    Summary

    “Well, hello there, Yoo Joonghyuk.” There stood Kim Dokja and his sheepish, lopsided grin — plopping down his chair and grabbing something from his backpack. Yoo Joonghyuk only grumbled in response and looked away from Kim Dokja, who seemed satisfied with the minimal answer he gave, only to snap his head back again as he got a glimpse of Dokja holding something blue and alien in his palms through his peripheral vision.

    What in the world is that? A duck? A Swan? A…

    “Yah, Joonghyuk-ah?” he overlooked the boy’s hand beckoning at his face. Kim Dokja grabs the origami he set aside on his desk and shows it to the male.

    (Or, they say that folding a thousand paper cranes can make your wish come true.)

    Summary

    Kim Dokja just wanted to troll a Twitch streamer.
    Instead, he accidentally cyberbullied a silent FPS god with 15 million followers, the personality of a feral cat, and the exact face of his favorite webnovel protagonist.

    Now the streamer might be stalking him.
    Or trying to date him.

    Hard to tell when he doesn’t talk.

    --

    Yoo Joonghyuk leaned towards his mic, saying “You talk too much.” Kim Dokja almost dropped his phone. How the hell did this guy get blessed with godly good looks, otherworldly gaming skills and a hot voice as well? Now this just wasn’t fair.

    onlyreader: u speak now??

    onlyreader: wow ur like a reverse pokemon

    onlyreader: do i unlock new voice lines if i piss u off enough?

     

    There was no response, of course. Not verbally. But Joonghyuk’s camera—normally perfectly still, unshaken by anything short of server crashes—jerked just slightly.

    A jolt. Like maybe, just maybe, he was sighing.

    Kim Dokja’s grin widened. “Ohhh,” he whispered. “He’s annoyed.”

    He leaned forward like a villain in a trench coat.

    Summary

    The exchange student seems stuck-up. Reserved. Did he just make Kim Dokja join a music competition with him?

    Kim Dokja had finally been able to catch a breath in his fucked up high school life, because of the bastard that was Yoo Joonghyuk. He would never admit it, but Joonghyuk was like an angel that suddenly appeared one day. The salvation in his life when he couldn’t win.
    Now, all Dokja has wanted (he hasn’t wanted something so desperately in maybe ever) was to sink into Joonghyuk’s ocean.

    Joonghyuk had said that after graduation, they would make it big as musicians.

    Dokja doubted that.

    He doesn’t have a future.

     

    Or: A story of two high school students.

    Dokja, a loser who plays the piano. Joonghyuk, the cool exchange student who plays the violin. Joonghyuk, who needs a duet partner for a competition. Cut to the attempts at harmonising together, both metaphorically and literally.

    P.S.
    They don't.

    Truly, fate worked in funny ways.

    Summary

    Summaries are hard…

    Lu Guang has had recurrent dreams since his days as a university student. Despite this, he remained diligent with his studies. After years of rigid routine, he is about to start his first proper job as a university professor. But his life changes when he meets Cheng Xiaoshi, a bright, free spirited man, who he considers to be nothing like himself. As they grow closer, Lu Guang finds himself at times struggling to tell dream from reality, as he attempts to uncover the reason behind the growing sensation of familiarity and loss that haunts him.
