    Summary

    Soonyoung remembers meeting Jihoon. He could sing, he could dance, he was one of the most impressive trainees already with the company, and he was Gifted⁠—⁠something that was practically unheard of among people who were under eighteen. Gifts would never be commonplace, but so many years after The Awakening there were more and more people being born without them, to the point that one day the number of un-Gifted individuals would vastly outnumber those with powers, Soonyoung had read.

    But Lee Jihoon, with his small stature and beautiful, girlish face, was Gifted. He was a truth-teller⁠—⁠someone to whom you could never lie. So when Soonyoung falls to his knees in the middle of ‘THE IDEAL CUT – FINAL SCENE’ IN SEOUL, arm burning on account of old, familiar injuries and brain screaming under the assault of completely new ailments, Jihoon is the one who Soonyoung reaches for right before he blacks out.

    Summary

    Everyone on campus knows one universal truth: If Boo Seungkwan can't find you a match, you are either a lost cause or destined for celibacy.
    And Hansol Vernon Chwe? Baby boy is perilously close to option two.
    He's been single for centuries. He doesn't flirt, doesn't date, doesn't even look at people—he just goes to class, games until ungodly hours, writes his assignments at 3 a.m., and cracks jokes so niche you need a PhD in "Vernon Studies" to understand them.
    So his friends do what any chaotic, overinvested friend group would do: they call in Boo Seungkwan.
    Seungkwan—the campus Cupid, gossip hotline, problem-solver extraordinaire.
    What starts as a simple mission quickly spirals into campus-wide chaos.
    Blind-date plans collide with reconnaissance missions, secret crushes, heated rivalries, and accidental shipping. Vernon did not ask for this. He cannot stop this. He's just being escorted through the mess like a mildly confused housecat.
    It's embarrassing.It's messy.It's entangled friendships, rivalries, and a love polygon that no one asked for—but everyone is here for.It's... kind of nice, actually.

    Summary

    When they were kids, Jihoon and Soonyoung made a pinky promise under the cherry blossoms—they’d marry each other someday, if no one else claimed their hearts first. Then life happened. They grew up, drifted apart, and became strangers under separate spotlights.

    Years later, fate brings them back together as romantic leads in a drama about missed chances and blooming love. The spark is still there—kind of. Maybe… the internet certainly thinks so.

    With fan shipping on the rise, their teams suggest the unthinkable: fake date, just for the cameras. Jihoon agrees reluctantly. Soonyoung agrees with a grin. It’s all pretend… until it doesn’t feel like it anymore.

    Somewhere between soft touches, shared spotlight, and cherry blossom sets, an old promise starts to feel real again.

    Summary

    Anya Forger has lived five lives. In every single one, Damian Desmond becomes Prime Minister, delivers a stirring yet ill-advised speech, and declares a war nobody asked for.

    This life, Anya opts out. She ignores politics, eats pastries, and lets history ruin itself without her involvement. That ends when she saves Damian’s life, and he responds like any sensible future warlord would: by proposing immediately. Now she’s engaged to the man who’ll destroy the world, and worse, her plan to do nothing with her life has gone off the rails.

    It’s all going surprisingly well, aside from the constant sense she’s being outmanoeuvred in a game nobody wants to admit they’re playing.

    Si vis pacem, para bellum.

    Summary

    “Is this in reference to the Monaca episode?” Jeonghan asked from a station over. He looked to be preparing for a video shoot himself, his counter lined with bowls full of pre-chopped ingredients. “Everyone loved the Monaca episode, though. That narrative arc was some of your best work.”

    “Of course everyone loved that episode, why else do people watch this show if not to watch me suffer?” And Jisoo had suffered so much during the Monaca episode, had taken two weeks off filming just to recuperate. It was also their highest viewed video to date. He felt more than a little slighted each time he remembered that fact.

    “Don’t sell yourself short, Soo-yah, you have plenty of other things to offer beyond your intense mental anguish.”

    “My skills in the realm of pastry making?”

    Jeonghan hummed, never looking up from his chopping board. “That, and you are also very hot.”

    (Or: It's Valentine's Day at the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen, and Jisoo's trying to pretend that he doesn't want his work husband to be his real-life husband. No one say anything.)
