    Summary

    Without an ounce of warning, Taesan leans forward over the table and just blurts it out, his voice a harsh whisper; "Leehan. Do you think I’m homophobic?"

    The timing could not have been any more catastrophic.

    Leehan had just tilted his bowl, his chopsticks gathering a massive, steaming clump of thick noodles when the words left Taesan’s mouth. He lets out a violent choke, his shoulders jerking forward as he slams his bowl back down onto the table, the hot liquid splashing across the wooden surface.

    "Jesus Christ, dude," Leehan wheezes, his voice raspy from the spice. "You can't just say that.”

    Taesan’s new roommate is into men. It’s a fact that he’s completely fine with — at least, in theory. In reality, the thought of Jaehyun being with guys makes him feel sick.

    Summary

    Some people inherit homes.

    Seonghwa built one from whatever he could find: a frightened dog, an abandoned kitten, and years of stubborn survival. Together, they learned how to make do with what little they had.

    At La Lune Verte, they have a roof over their heads, food on their plate, and a fragile peace built on carefully avoided questions.

    Then four guests arrive for the summer.

    What follows is a story about old wounds, second chances, found family, and discovering that the shape of home is far larger than any of them imagined.

    Summary

    KOZ Entertainment was finally debuting its very first boygroup. A group called BOYNEXTDOOR. 

    Jaehyun closed his eyes and for a grossly indulgent instance, let himself remember the seven phone calls, the one interview and the one disastrous conversation that had solidified his trajectory in life forever. 

    When he blinked back into reality, the new group was being introduced through tackily decorated pictorial headshots and Jaehyun absently registered their names and faces, certain that come next winter, he would forget them.

    When the offer from KOZ drops at his doorstep, Jaehyun refuses to accept it. A year later, BOYNEXTDOOR debuts as a five-member group and Jaehyun carries on with his life, leaving his idol dreams behind for good. But destiny works in mysteriously predictable ways and right before their second anniversary, on the brink of collapse, the members meet Jaehyun and their story begins anew.
    ____

    A for-want-of-a-nail AU story wherein Jaehyun breaks, the members break, and then they heal. Together.
