Summary
The first time Jisung sees Minho in four years — the first proper time, not the glimpses during Chuseok and odd weekends here and there when he’d come down from university — he’s running his hand through his hair and looking so unbelievably beautiful Jisung almost falls off his bike.
He hasn’t spoken to Minho in a long time.
Or: in 2002, four years after Minho moved to college, four years after they stopped speaking, seven years after Jisung fell for him, twelve years since the day they met, Jisung and Minho fall in love again.

Summary
Jeongin was completely comfortable with the fact that his dad’s love came in the form of cheese buldak and mint chocolate chip ice cream and silly little gifts and bags upon bags of home cooked food and cups of coffee and lighthearted scolding, he always has been. But apparently, he actually does express his love in other ways. A lot of other ways. Through pet names and hand holding and hugs and arms slung around shoulders and kisses on foreheads and by saying it. He says it all the time.
Just not to Jeongin.
Jeongin's dad's new boyfriend invites him on their couples trip to Mexico. He sees a side of his father that he has never seen before.

Summary
Their bond is the first of its kind in the industry.
There are others, centered around emotions or sensations or perceptions, even web-like bonds where each person involved is connected to every other, but no group or entity had ever agreed to try a bond that anchors on pain.
Some days, Chan wishes that were still true.

Summary
“I’m calling from the Seoul National Medical Centre. We have you listed here as the emergency contact for a Han Jisung. Do I have the right person?”
(Three years ago, Minho broke Jisung's heart with a single phone call. It's ironic then, that the universe decides to return the favour.)

Summary
Felix shouldn’t have let it get this far. He should have said something sooner — months ago, weeks ago, days ago at least. He definitely should have said something before he got drunk tonight. He should have really said something before Chan led him down the stairs to Changbin’s basement, leaving the noise of the house party behind them.
But Felix was scared.

Summary
It was a bit like this. Minho was peeling open a mandarin orange and offering sweet little slices, but there just weren’t enough slices to go around. And Seungmin didn’t need it anyways—not the way that some of the others did—and Minho knew that. Wanting was a different matter. If it was about wanting, then Seungmin wanted the whole orange.

Summary
“So, I was passing by the park and saw these huge rose bushes and remembered you. There was a flower shop on my way here, so I just….” Jisung starts, trailing off and pressing the flowers nervously into Hyunjin’s hands. "You smell like flowers. And you have them all over your apartment. I don’t know, now every time I see flowers I think of you.”
Hyunjin pulls away from the bouquet and stares at Jisung, baffled, “It’s the middle of spring, Jisung. There are flowers everywhere.”
“I must be thinking about you all the time then.”
He promptly hears Minho choke from his seat in the living room.
Hyunjin has loved and been dumped more times than he can count. Just when he thinks to give up on love, there comes Jisung, stumbling into his life.

Summary
“Grief is the price of enduring love.”
Jisung freezes, letting the words fill him. “Say that again.”
Changbin turns to him, looking almost nervous. “I-“
“No, please say it again,” Jisung pleads.
“Grief. It’s the price of enduring love. Doesn’t it just mean that we were lucky enough to know and love someone so much that we’re this sad when they leave us? Isn’t that kind of beautiful?”
////////
Lee Minho passes away from cancer, leaving Jisung to pick up the pieces of his heart. When he meets Changbin at a group therapy for widowers, he starts to slowly put himself back together with a little help from the ghost of his husband.The character death is for Minho, however, it happens before the start of the story. I just wanted to tag it in case you are sensitive to these topics. This story centers on healing and learning to love again!

“I’m out of clean clothes,” Minho grumbles in complaint. “I only packed enough outfits for a 2 or 3 day trip. How much longer is this going to take?”
“Believe it or not, Stockholming you into taking me back has proven to be a very long and drawn out process, hyung.”
Seungmin hops in the car after receiving his divorce papers in the mail. He types in the address on the navigation app on his phone. Destination: Minho or bust.

Summary
All they had to do to help Jisung with his project, was go to couples therapy and tell the truth. Just the truth. 100% of the truth. Jisung even explicitly stated they should only tell the truth for the experiment to actually work. The only exception was one tiny, itsy-bitsy little lie- they weren’t even a real couple to begin with.
or
In which Jisung spends three months documenting his best friends falling in love.

Summary
“How’s life going?” Ryujin asked from Seungmin’s phone screen. She was making pasta very badly as they talked. “Are you still avoiding that guy you were mooning over?”
“He’s my stepbrother now.”
The arm with the spatula spasmed, and a single penne went flying across Ryujin’s temporary kitchen. “Are you joking?”
“No.”
She sighed. “Seungmin, maybe you should call your therapist again.”
“Maybe I should,” he agreed. “It’s pretty fucked up.”

Summary
Philia; noun
One of the four ancient Greek words for love. Usually translated as "friendship" or affection".
Hyunjin is aromantic and aceflux, making navigating friendships and relationships tricky. When he develops a platonic crush on Felix, the cute new boy at his local cafe, he wants to show that he's interested, but not in *that* way. He does everything he can to ensure that Felix doesn't get the wrong idea. However, Hyunjin forgets how bad he is at holding his liquor.

Summary
This isn't happening, is the first thought that Jisung has. It just couldn't be.
He blinks. Gawks. He even pinches the loose skin inside his elbow—a little too hard, frankly, and he lets out a wince for it.
The scene in front of him refuses to change.
Being witness to the sight of his boyfriend straddling another man in the passenger seat of the car they technically share; their mouths on, and their hands all over each other, visible even through the semi-tinted windows was not a part of the plan.
Jisung momentarily feels deprived of air; his thoughts go blank and he has no idea what to do, or how he's supposed to act. He stands there, in the parking lot, and he just gawks.
“What the fuck,” a voice says from somewhere behind him.
That's right, he thinks. What the fuck?!
(the one in which minho and jisung, once high school friends, catch their boyfriends with each other, sending them off on an impromptu trip together, one that quickly becomes a journey of self-reflection and reconnection.)

Summary
Jeongin lets out a breathless chuckle. "It's been years. It's stupid to hold onto these feelings. Anger. Guilt. Regret. I don’t want us to suffer anymore, you know?"
"So you're not in love with me?"
Jeongin swallows heavily. "I basically don't know you anymore. So I think the answer is no."
Love has many sides. Jeongin is sure that he's seen every single one of them for Chan just to stay in the "brother lane" for a decade. But that changes when Chan comes back from his university after years of separation.
