Summary
“You’re not actually nervous, are you?” Hongjoong asks. “You’ve done makeup in worse conditions. Remember the car ride to Incheon? No staff, zero lighting, potholes every five seconds.”
“That was survival,” Seonghwa replies without looking away from the mirror. “This is presentation.”
Hongjoong raises a brow. “Presentation?”
Seonghwa dips a finger into a pot of shimmer and gently taps it to the corner of his eye. “You made something for me. I want to do it justice.”
Hongjoong’s offer to design something custom for Seonghwa slowly unravels the threads holding their friendship in place.

Summary
“Do you think there’ll be anything left?” Seonghwa rolled onto his side, studying the rise and fall of Hongjoong’s chest. “After the war, I mean.”
“I doubt it,” Hongjoong said. He was close enough that Seonghwa could see the pores in his cheek, the faint stubble along his jaw.
“Maybe the rain will destroy what the war doesn’t,” Seonghwa whispered, “and it’ll just be us left.”
Hongjoong’s gaze dropped to his mouth.
“Maybe, pretty boy.”

Summary
“Isn’t university the time to have fun and be unserious?” Jongho asks back. Just because he’s never had a real relationship doesn’t mean he’s incapable of having one.
Wooyoung and San give him matching unimpressed stares. “And it’s not because you’re emotionally unavailable?”
“How do you know I’m not dating someone right now?” Jongho can feel his pulse in his temple. “I’m a private person!”
“Yeah, but if you were dating someone then why are you still fucking around with Yeosang?” Wooyoung throws in.
Dammit. This is it. This is the moment where a wire fries in Jongho’s brain. He can feel it as it’s happening, the electric sizzle of his synapses melting, even as the words are queuing up and leaving his mouth. “Because it’s Yeosang I’m dating.”
