    Summary

    Xiao knew, every time he decided against his common sense, every time he indulged upon his momentary feelings, that Hu Tao would one day leave, ever so elusive, much like the butterflies that adorn her every step. He would not want to wish immortality on anyone, but especially not her, who understands and accepts death most.

    Xiao did not hold her back. He let her dance among the lilies, splash her feet by the reeds, humming the tune of the flute that had gone for quite some time. He let her waltz in and out of his life unimpeded, without warning, pulling the rug from underneath him every time, catching him by a beautiful surprise that no one other than Hu Tao herself could carry.

    (of the immortal with a lifelong curse, and the ephemeral, ethereal mortal.)

    Summary

    In the way that Mukai is always there—that is, she doesn't notice his presence as much as it gnaws at her when he isn't there—it feels almost inevitable that she would run into him like this. Mukai stands in the same aisle as her, book in hand. To run into him on her birthday feels like two worlds colliding without permission. They're on friendly terms, of course, coexisting easily in the same friend group, but there is another version of them that is messier. It's the version of them that has exchanged harsh words, and catalyzed each other to change, and come uncomfortably close to seeing each other too clearly.

    Standing before him, Mika feels like an exposed nerve.

    --

    Mika always spends her birthday alone. Mukai happens to intervene.

    Summary

    “That’s the way of life, isn’t it?” Jinseop stirs his chopsticks in his sauce, then picks up some kimchi. “Graduate, get a job, find the love of your life, get married, pay your bills, have kids, retire; the list goes on. You’ve fulfilled a couple, you tell me.”

    Jinseop, a couple years down the line.
