Summary
“Y’know, my mom said it’s bad luck when it rains in June.”
Euijoo doesn’t believe in bad luck. If he does right by the universe, the universe will do right by him– or so he thinks, until one phone call turns the only life he’s ever known upside-down. It takes less than a day for him to go from a straight-A student with an averagely crappy life, to a broke twenty-two year old struggling to raise six-year-old Harua on his own.
Parenting proves difficult, but battling his own insecurities and grief is unlike anything he’s ever imagined.

Summary
Byun Euijoo deals with emergencies day in and day out. After all, that IS the job of a 9-1-1 dispatcher. Car crashes, broken bones, lost children, you name it- he's heard it. Seven years on the job has pretty much desensitized him to many of the world's horrors. He has stability and that's all he needs, or so he thinks, until one call hits too close to home and introduces the biggest threat to his stability: a handsome firefighter paramedic.

Summary
Jo Asakura is a frequent visitor at the 9-1-1 dispatch center. For his job, of course. It’s not at all because he’s had a huge crush on a captivating dispatcher since they met in university. The only problem? Said dispatcher doesn’t remember him or the time they shared.
Can Jo get his feelings across now that he has a clean slate? Or will history repeat itself?

Summary
“Baby, it’s been months of this,” he’s still so sweet despite it all. “I want to help you, you’re miserable— Harua and I can see it.” He glides the warm, damp cloth across Euijoo’s forehead.
Because that’s the routine. Three times out of every week, sometimes more, Euijoo screams himself awake from horrific dreams that encapsulate his deepest fears and regrets. And, when Nicholas is home, he gets held, pampered, kissed, and really anything that requires not talking about it.
He’s never liked talking about it. That’s why he’s never been to therapy, never had an at-length conversation about his sister’s passing.. never admitted to the man holding him close that, ten years ago, he wanted to die.
