    Summary

    the man looks at him. nothing in his face brightens or darkens; it remains exactly as it was before riki spoke at all. his chin is tipped down a bit, the planes of his cheekbones catching the yellow-orange hue produced by the light strip above. he’s beautiful. he’s really fucking beautiful.

    (or: riki is intrigued by a stranger with dark, pretty eyes and a lot of secrets.)

    Summary

    Jungwon hates kids.

    If you had asked him back in high school if he planned to have any kids at all, he wouldn’t have hesitated to tell you: "Hell no."

    Never once would he have ever thought that he’d assume the position as the guardian of his nephew, and never once did he think that he’d ever see his nephew after years of radio silence from his sister.

    Because Riki wasn’t a newborn who needed hands-on care or an annoying toddler that you couldn’t take your eyes off of for even a second, Jungwon thought taking care of him would be easy.

    Oh, how utterly wrong he was.

    (Or: Following the sudden death of his estranged sister, Jungwon’s granted custody of his troublesome 9-year-old nephew that he’s never met.)

    Summary

    "there are two reasons why i was scared to let people in;
    the damage they could do, and the damage they could find"

    kim gyuvin and ricky shen are two very, very different people, and gyuvin knows this. but the heart wants what it wants.

    is it possible to love someone who doesn't want to be loved?

    as gyuvin begins chipping away at his sharp edges, he's beginning to realise ricky isn't the kind of person everyone thinks he is. which leaves the question: what kind of person is he, really?
