Summary
With a final burst of laughter, Tommy hopped in front of the man, halting them both in their steps. The morning sun warmed his back, as the light illuminated around him like a welcoming embrace.
“Nice to meet you, big man.”
Tommy smiled, as he watched a scowl appear on Wilbur’s face. Yet, Tommy could see how the sides of Wilbur’s mouth were just slightly upturned, like a subtle grin.
After getting fired and racking up a great deal of debt, Tommy started his new job at the local zoo with nothing but high hopes. However, after a string of unfortunate interactions with the co-workers - especially the grumpy aquarium attendant, he began to realize that things may not go as smoothly as he wanted them to.
Even after scoring his dream job as a guide at the one place that brought him joy as a child, his past and inability to get along with others comes to haunt him.

Summary
You can say Tommy was familiar with death. An old friend, if you must. And so, it wasn’t uncommon for his mind to drift towards theories of how he would eventually pass. Perhaps an arrow through the chest or a sword stabbed through the back? There were many, many cruel possibilities. But when Tommy remained motionless against the prison floor, arms sprawled like broken wings beside him, he didn’t really suspect that he would die by a potato.

146,692,378 km.
That is the closest distance the Moon and Sun will ever get, when the Earth is at its closest point of orbit while the Moon is most distant from Earth.
Like two hands reaching out, so much distance between their fingertips, but the closest they will ever be.
Even if it is for a split second, a mere minute, Tommy cherishes that singular moment.

Summary
‘Where are you?’ Tommy asked, now acutely aware of the silence from the room behind him.
‘I’m at the pier, can’t you hear the water, Tommy?’ Wilbur’s voice softened slightly whilst the waves grew louder in sound. Tommy closed his eyes and imagined Wilbur lifting the phone closer towards the sea, as if letting the water greet Tommy hello.
It seemed to soothe him slightly before the contrasting silence of his own apartment seemed to douse another bucket of cold water over him.
‘Wilbur…’ he started again cautiously.
A heavy stillness rang on the other end of the call, Wilbur quietly waiting for Tommy to continue.
‘Aren’t you in my apartment right now?’ he sounded out slowly, as if Tommy himself wasn’t sure when he had clearly seen and touched Wilbur.

Tommy, after the successful exorcism stream, finally felt it was the right time to retire Uncle Nasty. The doll had run its course, keeping him company during his lonely times, but now he was ready to store it and end the joke. Except, someone (or something?) didn't seem too happy about it.

Summary
Once upon a time, during a Spring day, Wilbur had said with a laugh,
‘Don’t you think your hair’s a lot like the colour of the sun, Tommy? Soft like newly mowed grass too,’ an undeniable fond glint twinkling in his eye.
Wilbur specialised in words and relished in his sharp tongue and dialogue. Yet even without them, Tommy had heard his message loud and clear that day.
You, you are the world.
A fuzzy feeling had erupted within him, a grin stretching across his face.
Don’t forget that.

All Tommy wants was to feel the warm embrace of Spring again. But, death was hard, and limbo was harder. Surrounded by darkness and the sensation of nothing and a big brother who was as much of a stranger as he was family, Tommy yearns and yearns and yearns for the familiar warmth of the season.

Summary
"You're the whole reason we're here," Chan insists, but Minghao shakes his head.
"I never once thought it'd be possible to get out before I met you, Channie." Minghao reaches out to zip up Chan's jacket as a breeze blows past them. "You're my brother. And you're my hero."
Chan, who's had a superhero complex all his life mixed with wanting to mean something to Minghao since the moment they met, feels tears filling his eyes. "But you're my hero."
Minghao squishes Chan's face and tells him they can be each other's heroes.
The story of the lives of Chan and Minghao after they escape from the gang they grew up in and try to live as normal civilians. It's not easy, but they have each other and that'll get them through.

Summary
“Meow,” Minghao meows, blaring as loud as a megaphone through the basement floor of their company building. A few seconds pass before he meows again, this time louder and more obnoxious.
“Why,” Jihoon says to his laptop, eyes closing and head falling against his keys. “Someone stop him.”
Sometimes idols turn into animals; there's really no helping it. (Or, Minghao turns into a cat and Mingyu deals with it.)

Summary
Minghao has eleven familiars that he found over the course of two years in the forest he lives in - yeah, eleven. He loves them all dearly, but he's told himself that he's done. No more taking animals in no matter how weak he is to them because eleven is far more than enough.
That's why he tries very hard to stay away from the sweet but mischievous man he finds in the same forest one day, but whether he's an animal or not, Minghao ends up weak to him anyway.
