    Summary

    Chishiya’s hands stilled. ‘Tell me, then,’ he began, ‘what meaning could you possibly find in books that you couldn’t find here? Every game you play pushes you to the edge of survival. There is no more meaning to life than that.’ He paused, looking me coldly in the eye. ‘When you used my taser on the tagger… when she died simply because you lived… where were your books then?’

    Summary

    "I usually have one of these every other week. Mental breakdowns, I mean. But imminent death is rarely the topic. More like, I failed an exam or my order from Amazon didn't arrive."

    "Can't wait to experience those when we get back."

    "When? Not if?"

    "When."

     

    Exchange student finds herself in the Borderlands, willing to do anything to survive. She meets Chishiya and forms an unlikely alliance with him, trying to keep herself as useful as possible, as otherwise she knows he will leave her behind.

    What happens, however, when she develops feelings? And when he does? What can two radically different people do, in a world in which caring means nothing but a burden?

    Summary

    Chishiya watches as your face falls, and it takes him a moment to realize what he’s said. Because no matter how much he now regrets it, he knows he can’t take it back. And he wonders how it feels to have his ugly words written on your pretty skin.

    Summary

    “You know how I told you I have seven roommates?”

    “Yeah? I don’t know how you keep this place so clean with eight guys living here honestly. I’m impressed.”

    “They aren’t my roommates. They… they’re my boyfriends.”

    “…What?”

    “My boyfriends. I’m in a polyamorous relationship with seven other men, and I want… we want… you.”

    “….I’m sorry?”

    “We want to date you. Exclusively. The eight of us. We want-“

    “I don’t understand?”

    “I know. Believe me I know but if you just listen-“

    You pry your hands out of Jisung’s grasp and stand up shakily on your legs.

    “You have boyfriends? Seven of them? Plural?”

    “Yes-“

    “And you want…”

    “You to join us.”

    “Join you?! What am I a fucking sexual fantasy? I’m just the female to your orgy or something right? This is what this is? You all just want to use me and-“

    “No! No no I swear to you-“

    “I thought you liked me!”

    “I do! So much! It’s the only reason I didn’t tell you straight away, it’s the only reason I-“

    “Lied to me?! This is- this can’t be happening-“ Is it possible to laugh and cry at the same time? Because that’s what you’re doing. “Fuck I’m an idiot.”
