Summary
“Just tell me what I should do,” Fuma hears Euijoo whisper. His head is bowed, like he's atoning for something. It's a plea.
Or: Fuma's good at helping people, and maybe not much else.

Summary
Euijoo meets Fuma's eyes for as long as he can stand, then looks down at his own lap. He doesn’t really know what he’s asking. But he knows that it’s strange to be asking it: and to be so willing to do whatever it is Fuma answers.
“Mm,” Fuma says, a drawn out note. Then the bottle, placed precariously on the carpet between them. “Does our Euijoo have something he wants to do?”
Or: a drunken mistake, a pair of handcuffs, the way shame bleeds into desire. Euijoo takes his time figuring it all out.

They stand at the gunwale as the ship sinks and the sun sets and Jihoon thinks, I could do this again every day of my life and be perfectly fucking happy. You’re the one I wanna watch the last ships go down with. It’s you.

Summary
Soonyoung works at what the library calls the front desk, though it's actually situated all the way in the back behind the latter alphabetical half of the poetry section. He's pretty sure the slow days and flickering LCD screen on the outdated desktop computer are finally starting to get to him. Like, seriously.

Summary
“Just don’t say anything too weird around my family, okay?” he blurts out as soon as Jeonghan hangs up the phone, not even bothering to ask Jeonghan to change his mind about coming. It’s obvious that’s a lost cause. “Just — can you be normal with them? Just act like we’re normal for a weekend.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Jeonghan tries, as if the shiteating grin on his face isn’t giving him away completely. “I’m always normal.”
Mingyu’s stomach sinks to his shoes.

Summary
A consequence of being a manager is keeping your phone off silent at all times, just in case. Wonwoo’s heart always speeds up when he hears the ringtone, even if it’s just his supervisor checking in about some bookings they have lined up.
It’s almost 4 am when Wonwoo’s ringtone wakes him up in a panic. He doesn’t even check who’s calling, just opens the phone and holds it to his ear.
“Hello?”
“Wonu-yah,” Soonyoung’s voice slurs, “Can you call me a taxi?”

Summary
An aghast look flashes on Soonyoung’s face, and he shakes his head vehemently. “No way—there’s no way he’d be into me.”
His friends exchange a look. A beat passes. Jun turns back to him, a weird expression on his face. “Soonyoung,” he starts, slowly and carefully, “You’re the captain of the cheer team.”
“And he’s the leader of the gaming club,” Soonyoung says glumly into his rice. “We have nothing in common."
Soonyoung is eighteen, in love, and it's awful.

“You’re, um,” Wonwoo cuts in and rubs at the back of his neck, “you’re doing a good job.”

Summary
Katya dies. Katya lives. Katya fakes her own death, which is a metaphor for dying, even if she survives. Note that we never see Katya after her fake death is reported to Goncharov, because the movie is not interested in Katya’s survival; it is interested in her loss. Note that it can be argued this lacuna is of no particular significance, given that we never see her before that, either, because the movie doesn’t exist. Note that Goncharov never sees her, really: note how often in their scenes his eyes are somewhere else, how rarely their conversations fall into the familiar visual rhythm of shot/reverse shot (compare with his exchanges with Andrey, particularly just before the scene on the bridge). Note how often this has been true, on screen and off it: that a husband never really sees his wife. Note how often the effect of cinema as an art form has been to document that men never really see women.
(Or: A story about a girl, or a story about a story, or a story arguing that these are the same, insofar as this could be described as a story at all, which it is very much not.)

Summary
“So,” Vernon says. “You gonna tell me who Jun is?”
Minghao has never heard a more loaded question in her life. Jun is so many things. She’s Minghao’s best friend. She’s someone Minghao hasn’t spoken to in three years. She’s the first girl Minghao ever loved; she’s the last girl Minghao ever loved. Jun made Minghao infinitely better, and yet paradoxically, she ruined her for anyone else.
“Someone I used to know,” is all Minghao settles for saying.
Vernon’s brow creases, as if he understands that this is probably out of his realm as a suffering IT. “Sounds complicated.”
[Minghao reconciles herself to the fact her feelings are unreciprocated before she even really understands what feelings are. But that was back then. Now she has absolutely no idea where she stands. Or, if she even stands anywhere at all.]

Summary
Kun’s voice is hoarse, cracking with the force of his words. “You should have left me there.”
“I wouldn’t,” Ten says.
“Why not?” The words are splintering, fracturing, bullets carving their way through glass. “It’s not like you haven’t done it before.”

Summary
“Are you allowed to be this annoying?” Seungkwan complains. “I’m trying to figure out if this is a sex thing and you’re laughing at me!”
“Sorry,” Kibum manages, waving a hand in front of his face like he can waft the hysteria away, gesturing at Seungkwan to eat. “Sorry, sorry, hyung didn’t mean to be mean. You let your members bully you into jeans that tight when you’re not sure if it’s a sex thing?”
Seungkwan sections off an entire shrimp with his chopsticks and shoves it grumpily into his mouth. Just past the lip of the balcony and the evening is breathing new life into Seoul, the throb of UN Village spilling out onto the Han with every new light flickering over its surface, the ambient noise of music and chatter and traffic wrapping the two of them in their own illusion of privacy. More intimate, somehow, for being made aware of the world.
“Ugh, this is really good,” Seungkwan grumbles. “I’m going to eat this whole thing and you aren’t going to be able to get me out of them.”
(Or: Kibum hadn't started out wanting to fuck Seventeen's Boo Seungkwan.)
