Summary
Nicholas leans against the concrete wall by the station. He has to look up to meet Euijoo’s eyes, just a tiny lift of his chin. Euijoo keeps seeing the vague outlines of what Nicholas is thinking seconds before he even thinks it. In this industry—in this awful, vapid industry—it’s a virtue. Euijoo hasn’t spoken to someone this open, who makes him want to open up like this in years.
“I guess I just keep wondering,” Nicholas says, shy and unflinching in equal measure, looking right at him. “Does anybody really know you?”
Byun Euijoo is an actor with walls a mile high. Enter Wang Yixiang, his new stylist.

Summary
Euijoo has been warned about boys like Nicho since he was old enough to say "Amen.”
He's been told that some people are born broken. That evil has a way of seeping into you if you let it. That temptation always wears a pretty face.
But temptation, Euijoo thinks, doesn't usually have blood on its knuckles and a cigarette between its lips.

Summary
"Things like what?" Nico presses, his frustration mounting. He switches to Japanese, trying to get them on even footing again.
They’d agreed on this. Japanese for arguments, so Euijoo doesn’t have that advantage. Their Japanese isn’t perfect—it never will be—but that is the point. This way, neither of them can fall back on language as a weapon. It is supposed to level the field, make things fair.
"Existing in the same space as you? Breathing the same air? Tell me, Euijoo, what exactly am I doing wrong here?"
The words hang in the air between them, heavy and charged. Euijoo's eyes dart away, focusing on a point just over Nico's shoulder. "You know what I mean," he mutters.
In Korean.

Summary
There are eleven items in total on Sungho’s list. The actual contents are a bit absurd.
Go on a Blind Date. Go Skinny Dipping. Learn to Drive. Kiss a Stranger. (Yes, an actual stranger!!!)
“I’m not doing this stuff, Sungho,” Euijoo says. “Where would I even find someone to go on a blind date with?”
(OR: Euijoo doesn't know who he is without his best friend. Nicholas helps him figure it out.)
