    Summary

    He keeps thinking that he should’ve done something. Jisung had Hyunjin basically defenceless three times and he let him go every single one, walking away without a single tinge of fear in his face.

    But, Hyunjin also had the chance to kill him, and he didn’t, for some reason.

    Summary

    He could just not return it, let it sit on the shelf in his shitty apartment, collecting dust, just like his collection of art books and canvases that haven’t been touched in months, a half assed cry for help to be found long after he’s gone. Maybe he'd burn it, let the smoke release his intrusive thoughts into the sky and hopefully out of his mind, and he could forget all this wallowing. Or he could go and drop it in the overnight box, hoping that the sweet lady behind the counter would skip over his impulsivity and tuck the book back into its home where it belonged, leaving his deranged ramblings for the next poor soul to pick up.

    Hyunjin wonders if they’d care at all, if the next borrower would see the words he'd scribbled into the margins at 2 AM when his hands wouldn’t stop shaking and see cause for concern, bring it to someone’s attention. If they’d look his name up in the system and call for a welfare check. There was a selfish part of him that hoped someone would. Maybe then he wouldn’t feel so alone.

    Summary

    “Why would you want to pay for me again?”

    “Am I not allowed to be nice to you? A guy isn’t allowed to spread a little holiday cheer?”

    “You barely even know me,” Hyunjin sniffed.

    “Well, I don’t know. You look like you deserve to be spoiled.”

    Now, what’s worse than deluding yourself into thinking you’ve met the boy of your dreams? Being right, and realizing just how screwed you are.

    Or: Hyunjin thinks fate might have finally granted him his Christmas wish.

    Summary

    “You would be the king of the fairy ring!” Jisung proclaimed as he swept his arms in a grand, wide arc. “The lover of the sun.”

    The sun was burning bright in the distance. Liquid gold collided with lilac mountains. Hyunjin stared at Jisung and the wondrous look in his eyes, and asked, “What about you, then? What would you be the king of?”

    Jisung shrugged. “Some princes don’t become kings.”

    (In which fairy rings brought nothing but bad luck, but not to Hyunjin. Instead, fairy rings brought him closer to a mysterious boy who burned like a thousand suns.)
