Summary
Minho’s blank stare gives away nothing, even as Jeongin draws close, as his lips lift into a snarl, showcasing sharp fangs, as Jeongin lets his fingernails extend to claws, resting a hand threateningly against Minho’s chest, right above his heart.
“You helped get my village killed. You’re lucky that I don’t particularly want to tear your heart out about it anymore.”

Summary
“I literally asked you to the graduation party,” Minho says. “Isn’t that, like, as close as you can get to asking someone out without actually saying the words?”
Record scratch. Rewind. Seungmin gapes so hard he’s sure Minho can see all the way down his throat to his intestines. “Wait. That wasn’t a joke?”
“No?” Minho looks at him incredulously. “Why would that be a joke?”
“Because you…” Seungmin gestures wildly, letting out a slightly unhinged laugh. “You asked me on the last day of class with a muddy dandelion from the courtyard! And we spent three years at each other’s throats! What was I supposed to think?”
Kim Seungmin is a professional adult. He is mature, he has a degree, and he's starting a new job at a prestigious consulting firm.
Cue him coming face to face with Lee Minho, his personal high school migraine, for the first time in six years. After digging through a thick layer of stupidity and denial, Minho realises he's been spending the better part of a decade mourning a heartbreak that was self-inflicted, and Seungmin realises the mystery person he was jealous of was, in fact, himself. (Ft. lots of office shenanigans)

Summary
“They say you hate him, you know?” Jeongin said quietly, his finger still raised in Minho’s direction. “You never bed him, never savor his cooking, never admire his beauty nor his talents. But I don’t think they’re right.”
“What do you think then?” Chan managed to get out between clenched teeth.
He never intended for Minho to think he was hated, less so to make others think he hated Minho. Given how his family had acted when Chan had simply looked at Minho, Chan doubted they took well to Minho now being presumed hated by his husband.
“I think you love him.”

Summary
It starts like this: a look exchanged in a bar he went to alone. Trying to forget something, trying to remember something else. A wry smile, a hand on the small of his back.
“Can I buy you a drink?”
When has Jisung ever said no to that?
A quick drive back to campus–oh, he’s a student here, too. Maybe they have classes together. Maybe that’s why he looked familiar. Or maybe everyone looks familiar after a couple cocktails.
His roommate isn’t home. They can be loud and they are.
“This stays between us, okay? I’m just…experimenting.”
Jisung has been someone’s secret before. He doesn’t know if it’s good or bad this time, but it’s something. And this guy isn’t being cruel. He knows cruel and he knows kind and the smile he’s given after he agrees to secrecy is not bad.
Maybe that’s the booze talking, but he’d much rather the booze control the conversation than for it to be left up to him. Pretty boys have a way of making Jisung stupid.
・・・
OR: what do you get when you mix college students, unrequited love, and secrets that were never meant to come to light? A big fucking mess, that’s what.
