Summary
"If you could do anything," Jisung continues. "No consequences. What would you do?"
"I would kiss you,” Minho says.
"You can.”
"I can't."
“I can keep a secret, Minho,” Jisung says, leaning over the center console, taking up Minho’s space because he knows how much Minho likes Jisung taking up his space.
ෆ
Or: Jisung is a university senior running from what happened last semester. Minho is his older, crush-worthy professor who makes for a mind-numbing distraction.

Summary
"Tell me what happened," Hyunjin says, reaching out to card fingers through Jeongin's snow-damp hair.
"You'll hate me.'
"I won't."
"You will," Jeongin says. "Because you think I'm a really good person and I'm not."
"I don't think you're a really good person," Hyunjin says. "I just think you're my person."
…
Jeongin doesn’t mean to cause any trouble. Except, of course, for the trouble he’s hired to cause. But when Jeongin fumbles a job while trying to impress hot, mysterious artist Hyunjin, he finds himself in a crushing amount of debt. And what does a criminal do to pay off debt?
Plan a heist, of course.

Summary
"So," Chan says, slapping both hands onto Felix's checkout counter.
"So," Felix returns, flicking Chan's fingers until he removes them.
"The road trip."
"What about it?"
"I feel like we missed our window," Chan says. "Summer's probably the perfect time for it, but it's already winter."
"Guess we should call it quits."
"Nah. I was thinking we save up for the next several months, wait out winter and most of spring, and then we leave right before summer starts," Chan says, holding up a finger for each point. "It'll be hot, but not too hot."
"That sounds nice," Felix says and he means it. It feels strange to mean it. "But I'm still not convinced."
"Pack your bags, Felix Lee," Chan grins, reaching out to poke Felix's nose. "We're going on this trip."
…
Or: Felix is stuck in a mundane life. Chan is aimless after losing a promising career. Together, they decide to do something fun about it.

✧✧✧
“Talk to me.”
“I don’t know how,” Hyunjin repeats. “I don’t know how to talk about it without saying something mean.”
“So, say something mean.”
“I missed you,” Hyunjin sighs, turning his face to bury it in Minho’s neck. “I love you.”
“Hyunjin.”
“I’m sorry,” he says. “Please stay with me. Even if I do something bad. Even if I yell or I cry or I–I–”
“Yeah, hey,” Minho says, reaching over with his free hand to pat Hyunjin’s cheek. “I won’t leave you. We’re best friends.”
“Forever?” Hyunjin asks.
“Forever,” Minho nods.
✧✧✧
Hyunjin and Minho are lifelong best friends, inseparable and infinite both. But when Minho's career takes him on an unexpected path, their relationship changes in ways that force Hyunjin to confront his troubled past and deepest fears.

Summary
It starts like this: a look exchanged in a bar he went to alone. Trying to forget something, trying to remember something else. A wry smile, a hand on the small of his back.
“Can I buy you a drink?”
When has Jisung ever said no to that?
A quick drive back to campus–oh, he’s a student here, too. Maybe they have classes together. Maybe that’s why he looked familiar. Or maybe everyone looks familiar after a couple cocktails.
His roommate isn’t home. They can be loud and they are.
“This stays between us, okay? I’m just…experimenting.”
Jisung has been someone’s secret before. He doesn’t know if it’s good or bad this time, but it’s something. And this guy isn’t being cruel. He knows cruel and he knows kind and the smile he’s given after he agrees to secrecy is not bad.
Maybe that’s the booze talking, but he’d much rather the booze control the conversation than for it to be left up to him. Pretty boys have a way of making Jisung stupid.
・・・
OR: what do you get when you mix college students, unrequited love, and secrets that were never meant to come to light? A big fucking mess, that’s what.

Summary
“Do I know you?” the stranger asks, squinting into Jisung’s face. Then he splits into something of a maniacal smile. Snaps his fingers, pokes one into Jisung’s sternum. “You. You’re Jiwon, from 1-Up.”
“Oh my god,” Jisung squeaks when he finds his voice. And around a bewildered laugh, “J.ONE, not Jiwon.”
“What’d you say?”
“J—never mind.”

Summary
“There are two rooms, and the lodge is more than big enough for two adults. We’re both relatively sane, which is always a bonus. You couldn’t murder me, though it’d be fun to see you try, and I promise I’ll try not to murder you.” Minho blinked guilelessly, apparently at the end of his speech. “Stay.”
-
When Jisung arrives at his vacation house to find it double booked, his options are to return home, tail tucked between his legs, or learn to cohabit with the handsome, enigmatic stranger already occupying the lodge.
