Summary
There isn’t a name for the swelling of his lungs when he catches the smile on Hyunjin’s lips when he sleeps. There’s no name to the way Seungmin cares for him—so deeply, intensely, fiercely. The way he aches when he sees him devoid of his usual shine, the way he thinks he’d be perfectly happy if he died with his hand on his own.
The word love to Seungmin is simple: it’s taking care of Hyunjin. It’s making him happy. It’s keeping him safe. It’s everything he imagined love must look like.

Summary
Hyunjin texts Seungmin at three a.m. saying that he wants to run away. Seungmin rolls out of bed to come with him.
#
Hyunjin’s text—it’s not the first time he’s floated an idea like this, but this time felt different. Maybe it’s the fact that they’re done with school now, and everything feels more uncertain than ever. It felt charged. Electric. Like an omen—he was really going to leave, and Seungmin couldn’t deal with him leaving alone. What if he never came back?

Summary
One sees fragments of the future — a dropped ice cream, a heartbreak, a kiss that never comes. The other carries the weight of expectation like a second skin. Between them: unsent letters, silent sacrifices, and a love that lives in the space between what was and what might have been.
Or: the story about two boys who promise ‘forever’ at six and spend twenty years learning what that word really means.

Summary
Graduate school student Hyunjin has been in love with academic genius Kim Seungmin since they were nineteen. But when a fellow grad student drops out, Hyunjin and Seungmin are suddenly assigned to help teach the same class. Maybe, just maybe, Hyunjin can work up the courage to say something - or, as it turns out, he might not even have to.
Or: Hyunjin's had a crush on Seungmin since forever. And handsome, impossibly smart Seungmin suddenly keeps finding reasons to talk to him.

Summary
Logically, Seungmin knows he’s drowning in the nectar sweet days of a honeymoon phase because he’s no longer horrified at waking up to a “goodnight ❣️” text from Hyunjin sent at 4:04 AM and doesn’t flinch after waiting to send a corresponding “good morning” text after Hyunjin's alarm goes off at 1:20, 1:25, 1:30, 1:35, 1:40, and 1:45 PM. Illogically though, Seungmin doesn’t know why. Because none of this is real.
