    Summary

    He dreams of the wind being knocked out of him, and he falls, and falls. He lands on his face and tastes bitter rubber and iron against his mouth, feeling heavy and weightless at the same time. As his ribs expand, and as the pain spreads through his aching limbs, he’s suddenly being yanked out by an overwhelming force—and he sees endlessly blue-yellow skies as his bleary vision accommodates, rays of blurry glimmering light peak through soft, shifting clouds. He hears a voice whisper by his ear, in a velvety soft timbre, deep and rich—comforting, indolent, whole. His heart stutters and all his feelings rush through him in waves upon tidal waves.

    “Suho-ya,” the voice says.

    He sinks, and doesn’t resist this time.

    Summary

    suho and sieun have had a ritual since they were dirt-gathering, bug-collecting, toothless little kids.

    it’s a ritual that began in a damp, rocky hollow—with suho, sprawled on his bum, clutching at his knee and pouting up at a blank-faced sieun, as he begged, “sieun-ah, kiss.”

    when met with the typical silence, suho had angled his chubby cheek nonetheless, determined and forthcoming. “kiss.”

    it’s their little ritual that’s stayed well into adulthood, a precious thing that’s theirs, and theirs alone.

    Summary

    Sieun leaves Seoul after graduating high school—no destination, no plans, and no travel route. He just knows he has to leave or he never will. He is aimlessly wandering through the countryside when he is found by Suho, who is driving to his halmeoni's house for the summer vacation. Reluctantly, Sieun hitches a ride in Suho's car. What was meant to be a memorable but fleeting encounter becomes something more when Suho offers Sieun a room to stay however long he needs.

    In the summer of the countryside, separated from all his obligations back in Seoul, Sieun learns to unwind a little, learns to live a little, and, most importantly, learns to want a lot.
