Summary
Yeosang’s always been a bit sentimental. Wet, his uncle used to call him. The remains of his friends are impossible to get rid of. Unlike the aforementioned uncle, who when dead, was promptly thrown in the river. But Yeosang’s dearest friends—he carries them with him. In his heart, and in his memory, and in his garden. And San’s skull is in the house, holding open the door to his and Jongho’s bedroom.
Jongho had been squeamish about the skull door-stopper initially. Which, fair. Alive-San never would’ve stayed still for so long. But the sun shone, and the snow fell, and Jongho acclimatised, and the white-shine of San became a comfort of sorts. Yeosang is sentimental.
Yeosang, Jongho, and the aftermath of the end of the world.

Summary
Hyunjin grew up with the ocean in his lungs and a fisherman’s melody in his head. At sixteen, he watched a human boy from beneath the boat hulls—too curious, too enchanted, too afraid to surface. Nine years later he finally takes the Shore Oath and claws his way onto land, legs new and clumsy, words salt-rough on his tongue… only to learn that land-time runs faster than the sea. The man he loved is gone—and his son, Chan, carries the same laugh, the same tune, and a patience Hyunjin has never known.
Hyunjin has three days to be chosen in heart or the water will take him back and seal him shut. No curse—just biology and an unforgiving clock. He can barely stand without swaying toward open windows; he blesses kettles by accident; he mistakes rescue for love until Chan teaches him the grammar of consent. Storms break, secrets surface, and the ocean watches as two men find a language that belongs to both of them.
Merfolk biology, time-mismatch grief, domestic softness, and a beach at midnight where the sea is witness—not a judge. Hyunjin wants to stay. Chan has to choose.
Little Mermaid–inspired, but the princess is a merman, there’s no witch, and the magic is learning how to touch gently.

Summary
San was willing to overlook almost anything. After all, he was desperate to find a new place, and the bedroom he was offered once he passed the potential housemate interview looked like somewhere he'd be comfortable calling home. It was small but cozy, still big enough to fit most of what he had in storage, and it was freshly painted a pretty, soft lilac. It wasn't perfect, but it would definitely suffice.
Things took a downhill turn almost from the moment he moved in.
