Summary
“Do you want to go home with me tonight?”
The words hung in the air, suffocating, heavy, and not really a question at all.
Jake’s heart pounded in his chest, his nerves fraying with every second of silence that followed. He forced himself to stay calm, to mask the fear and dissociate from the traitorous excitement creeping up his spine, thorny and wrong. Heeseung’s touch was gentle, almost comforting, loving, but Jake knew better.
Still, he nodded, once, his voice a barely audible exhale. “Yeah.” His head spun as he averted his eyes. “Yes, hyung.”
---
Detective job was okay, Jake just wished Heeseung was a little less heartless and Ni-ki a little more selfish.

Summary
Heeseung and Jake have been roommates at Decelis Academy for two years - both lonely and secretive people who recognise the same intelligence and introversion in each other. One fateful semester, they work on a dangerous secret project for a module to the point of obsession, until an accident causes their friendship to blow apart. A week later, Jake is heartbroken, on the run with a motley crew of newfound companions and plotting revenge, while Heeseung finds himself caught up in a campus-wide mystery involving secret student societies and magic that could get him killed.

Summary
“Sunghoon-ah, did you know there’s a god sleeping beneath this mountain?”
“I don’t think that’s possible, Halmeoni.”
“My, my, you are the only kid I know who doesn’t believe in magic.”
“It’s fake! Like on TV! If magic were real, people would... I don’t know… probably live forever?”
“Silly child. You shouldn’t wish for eternity.”
When Sunghoon chose to fly back to Korea and live at his grandmother’s old home, waking up a dormant mountain god was the last thing he had in mind.

As the description says “no act of kindness is too small.” It was a hug for the soul and the heart <3

Summary
Once upon a time, a lost boy found another one like himself and asked them if they could help him go home. They answered something like “Yes, although I’m not sure how, I guess I can help you find your way back,” and didn't realize then that home could be a lot closer than they thought. Standing right beside them. Around them. Here. Here. Here.
Or when life is like a fairytale, just without the pixie dusts.

There are not enough words to explain how much I love this story, it's beautiful in every sense of the word.
