    Summary

    Jaeyun gasped. "Put me down this instant, Park Sunghoon!" His protest echoed against stone as his boots left the ground.

    Sunghoon hoisted him effortlessly over his shoulder, the movement so smooth it bordered on insult. "You are attempting to depart without escort or schedule," Sunghoon said calmly, adjusting his hold. "that is unacceptable."

    "I am the heir!" Jaeyun snapped, pounding ineffectually against armored muscle. "You do not manhandle me like cargo!" "You are valuable cargo," Sunghoon replied.

    The courtyard had fallen silent save for the fluttering of banners. Jaeyun's face burned hotter than any forge. "Release me or I swear—"

    "You will swear nothing," Sunghoon interrupted mildly. "there are eyes beyond these walls that would celebrate your recklessness."

    Wherein,

    Jaeyun, as the heir to the throne, does not want to be appointed for marriage like a simple delicacy to be picked.

    He discovers that he is up to be assassinated and sets out to find the ring leader. He fails pathetically, and tries again after given a proper scolding by his mother.

    His knight, Sunghoon, crouches beside him the entire time.

    Summary

    “you’re sim jaeyun,” jungwon says it the same way you’d say the sky is blue. “you’re one of the most well-known people on this campus. you’ve got the face and the social circle and the energy and you’re suddenly paying attention to a guy who has, by his own apparent social strategy, been invisible for three years. he probably thinks it’s a joke.”

    jaeyun lifts his head. “a joke?”

    “a prank,” jungwon clarifies, stirring his coffee. “a bet. the popular guy suddenly being nice to the nerd. he’s probably waiting for the punchline because from where he’s standing, there has to be one.”

    the words land somewhere uncomfortable in jaeyun’s chest.

    or: sim jaeyun does not develop crushes on shy nerds who colour-code their biology notes— except, apparently, when it rains.

    Summary

    “have you been—” sunghoon pauses, and jaeyun can feel him thinking, which is interesting. “touched? by anyone.”

    jaeyun’s thighs press together involuntarily, and he is immediately baffled at it. “sunghoon—”

    “i’m not trying to embarrass you,” sunghoon says, and his voice has shifted very slightly, careful in a way it hadn’t been a moment ago. “i’m trying to figure out what i’m working with here. if i’m setting you up with jay i need to know how—”

    “you need to know how sexually inexperienced i am to set me up with jay,” jaeyun says, hearing himself say it out loud and finding it simultaneously absurd and extremely real.

    OR.

    jaeyun trades his psych notes for a shot at jay. he does not anticipate that the middleman would become an issue.

    Summary

    I am not asking to be happy. I have never asked for that. I am only asking to be different. Please, Lord, make me different. Make me the thing they need me to be. Remove from me this— this affliction, this error, this deviation from Your design. I do not understand why You made me this way if You did not mean for me to be this way. And if You meant for me to be this way then I do not understand why, why, why is it a sin. And if it is a sin then I am a sinner, so then forgive me but I cannot repent for something I have never done, can I, can I repent for a feeling, can a man be damned for the direction of his hunger, for the frequency of his loneliness, for wanting the wrong mouth, the wrong hands, for lying awake in the dark imagining—

    He turns onto his side.

    —imagining his shirt open to the second button and the skin underneath warm, and if I pressed my mouth there I would feel his pulse and it would be fast, would it be fast, would his heart beat faster if I—

    Or: Park Sunghoon meets Sim Jaeyun on the Titanic.
