    Summary

    Seungmin has built his entire career on never being seen. No face, no name, just a voice that tears apart bad literature for an audience of 200K people who mostly agree with him. It works. He's fine with it.

    Then a fifty-dollar superchat forces him to watch a TikTok, and Lee Minho, a booktuber with 5.2 million followers, irritatingly correct about everything, and somehow funnier than anyone Seungmin has ever hated, becomes a problem he can't close a tab on.

    OR

    Two booktubers who are critic with every single book created have brainorgasms every time they chat.

    Summary

    “Tell me about your exes. Who hurt you?” Seungmin asks.

    Chan looks up then, his mouth slightly parted. “What?”

    “I can tell you’re guarded. Someone as handsome as you shouldn’t get so flustered whenever you receive a compliment, so someone in your life had to have made you feel like you weren’t.” Seungmin says.

    Chan normally would feel attacked. Normally, he would scoff and shrug it off and feign confidence. But there’s no bite to Seungmin’s words. His tone was soft and even like he genuinely wanted to understand.

    “Is that why you’ve been taking things super slow?” Chan asks lightly.

    Seungmin laughs, “Maybe, now stop avoiding the question.”

    Chan sighs, his smile falls. “It’s the past, I’m better now.”

    Seungmin nods. Chan looks at him, he looks disappointed. Almost sad. Chan’s heart beats harder in his chest, his lip starts to tremble and he has to look up to stop the tears from falling. “I just, I have a hard time talking about it.”

    OR; Chan goes through a journey of healing from his abusive ex boyfriends. He meets Seungmin and learns how to love and be loved.

    Summary

    L rubs his thumb against his lip, “and you suspect you know who Kira is?”

    “I’m Kira.” Light replies.

    “I see,” L murmurs, “so this is a confession?”

    “Of sorts,” Light prefaces. “That is to say; I was Kira, until three days ago, but now I need your help to prove it and stop whatever I’ve put in motion.”

    “You better start from the beginning.”

    Summary

    In any case, Seungmin was well aware of the betting. He never partook himself–a move which earned Felix five dollars every Friday–but it wasn’t out of moral superiority. No, he was biding his time and waiting for the opportunity to destroy his coworkers financially.

    OR:

    The other employees at Seungmin's highly-respectable place of work love to place bets on anything they can. Seungmin has been waiting to wring his coworkers dry, and the arrival of Lee Minho might be just what he needs.
