    Summary

      Seungcheol finds out a lot of things about Jeonghan, like how he’s been working in publishing since he graduated uni, and how much he likes reading Agatha Christie, and how he has a years-long obsession with building Lego sets. His opinions on Google Docs and early 2000s indie rock. How he recently moved back from Osaka, after six years there. How much he genuinely misses the home he’d built there, despite being happy to be home.

      Seungcheol finds out a lot of things about Jeonghan, but he doesn’t find out about his ex-husband, or the mess of the last couple of months of his life. Schrödinger’s box of issues that Jeonghan will continue to ignore for as long as he possibly can.

    Summary

    “the power’s out,” wonwoo says then. voice grave. and afraid. and like, oozing with regret, all of a sudden. he starts walking around the kitchen, flipping switches and stuff like it’s really going to do anything. he scratches his head in genuine confusion, then heads over to the window, pushing his blinds aside just barely to peek out.

    “what do you mean the power’s out?” junhui squawks. “you know what? I need to go. do you want me to—I don’t know. I can like, call mingyu and he can talk you through how to fix it or whatever? or wait, why am I calling mingyu, you have his number, you can—”

    “jun-ah,” wonwoo says, voice even graver, even more afraid, oozing with like, tons more regret somehow. “you’re not going anywhere. have you seen outside?”

    “what?” junhui feels all the hair on his body stand straight up. in pure fear. utter horror. “I have to leave. there’s like, a storm coming, and I have plans to facetime soonyoungie later, and also, we’re totally not—”

    oh, god. oh, fuck.

    Summary

    “Next person who walks in. You flirt, you see what happens. If it goes well, take them upstairs.”

    Before Seokmin can protest again, the front door creaks open.

    “Hey!” comes a cheerful voice.

    All three of them whip around.

    It’s Mingyu.

    The thing about Mingyu is that Seokmin hates his guts.

    Seokmin’s friends think truth or dare fixes everything. Seokmin disagrees.
