Summary
She feels Jun-hee nudge her foot under the table. She looks up from her bowl of soup to find Jun-hee staring at her. “Hey. I think you’re perfectly lovable.”
Jun-hee’s smile turns fond. That’s not how she usually looks at her. For reasons she cannot explain, Mi-na can’t keep her eyes away from the little dimples in Jun-hee’s cheeks. What if she wants to be the reason that easy smile remains etched on Jun-hee’s face? What then?
OR: How Mi-na and Jun-hee go from coworkers to friends to lovers. A no games AU about blossoming, recognizing yourself through the other, and how a hundred vibrant buds can grow from one strange, unforeseen relationship.

Summary
It starts as mere pleasure. An indulgence.
There’s nothing personal about it. That’s not the arrangement they have. That’s not anything he will ever allow. Gyeongseok is unapologetic. Confident, with a bite to him that makes her shudder, an angry heat that makes her ache. He’s exactly what she needs right now. It’s an agreement. A transaction. It’s uncomplicated. Up until it isn’t. He’s a closed book. An enigma, carefully contained. Until he isn’t.
Until she starts catching glimpses of the man outside the performance. Until she finds that he has walked through a hell of his own. That in his wake, he drags a shadow, unshakeable, and if he falters, if he wavers, it threatens to swallow him whole. And in his hands, clasped tight, so tight, shielded against the storm, he carries a weakened flame. Bright-eyed. His whole world. Only five years old.
And it’s none of Hyunju’s business. He makes that beyond clear. She is a pay-check. A means to an end. Who he is outside of their arrangement is none of her concern.
Her heart does not agree.

Summary
Thanos restarts the live and fast-forwards to the end, pausing when Nam-gyu’s shocked face is on screen.
And, holy shit. MG Coin’s partner is gorgeous.
He’s got long black hair and sharp dark eyes that sort of reminded Thanos of a cat’s glare as they anxiously met the camera. He was in this big hoodie that goes down to his mid-thighs, hands fully engulfed in the sleeves. It made him look a little ridiculous when he yelled at Myung-gi with the way his sweater paws waved around angrily; Thanos genuinely wonders how anyone can take him seriously like that.
He’s cute. Real goddamn cute. How in the world does a stiff, shrimpy little fuck like MG Coin bag a guy like that?
---
After Nam-gyu accidentally appears on famous YouTuber Lee Myung-gi's livestream, Thanos becomes obsessed; especially because he knows that he could be a way better boyfriend to Nam-gyu than MG Coin.

Summary
“I bet you can’t do it.”
“What?”
Thanos leans closer until his breath ghosts against Nam-gyu’s ear. “Catch me.”
Nam-gyu stills, the hair on the back of his neck prickling with goosebumps. His eyes flick sideways to meet Thanos’. Usually, it’s Nam-gyu pushing into Thanos’ space, not the other way around. After a beat too-long, Nam-gyu scoffs and turns away, twirling the knife between his fingers.
“As if your sorry ass even stands a chance in there.”
.
Look, Nam-gyu has one priority when it comes to these games and that’s getting Thanos out alive - which shouldn’t be as difficult as it’s proving to be. It’s just that…well, Thanos keeps collecting people, and Thanos would be sad if any of those people died so Nam-gyu supposes that makes them his fucking problem too.
(OR: Thanos is there for the rest of the games.)

Summary
Thanos’ eyes finally flicker back to life, flitting up to Nam-gyu’s. He blinks a couple times in rapidfire, like he’s regaining fucking consciousness or some shit, and his posture shifts — his shoulders rising as he opens and closes his mouth before dropping: “Do you need help?”
Nam-gyu’s not quite sure he heard him right. “The fuck did you just say?”
Or: Nam-gyu injures his wrist and can’t jerk off. Thanos offers a helping hand.
