   Summary

   Riku is twenty-seven and very mentally stable when he comes across Oh Sion, thirty-nine, on a dating app: in Seoul for the weekend. Dom vers. Kind of hoping for more of a date tho hahahaha sorry. 

   But Sion stands him up on a date and Riku's just gonna block him and forget it ever happened at all just like he’s supposed to - after all, Maeda Riku needs his life to stay painfully, painfully boring no matter what it takes. He needs it to be boring and stable and nothing about falling for some older guy who lives in Gwangju and lies about how good his baseball team is reeks of stability. Right? Right. 

   -

   In which Riku, eight years into being diagnosed bipolar, learns how to get a little better. And maybe he lands himself a nice guy on the way. But that's just a nice bonus.
