    Summary

    You know what they say: “never waste a Friday night on a first date”. And Matthew should have heeded Grammy Award winner Chappell Roan’s words of wisdom. Instead, ironically, there he is — wearing the best jeans in his wardrobe and having put actual effort into styling his hair and making sure his skin looks nice. It’s a Friday, and Matthew’s date is sitting opposite him at a table barely large enough for both their drinks to fit on top, and he’s smiling seraphically, while he’s not saying anything.
    Anything at all.

    ——⭑⋆⋆⋆⭑——

    or: Matthew is on a terrible, terrible date.
    The salvation he wishes for comes in the shape of his ex-best-friend, Kim Taerae, with whom he hasn't talked in six months after Taerae claimed they shouldn't be friends anymore.

    or: Matthew and Taerae have a past as best friends, their friends group is in shambles after their fight, there are lingering feelings on either side and no one has any patience left.

    Summary

    "It makes him feel broken in a way that’s hard to explain to anyone else.

    How do you say, I want to disappear, but I don’t want to die without sounding dramatic, confused, or unserious? How do you explain that the desire isn’t for death, but for silence, for space, for the pressure to lift?

    Some days, the thoughts scare him. Other days, they feel almost neutral, like background noise he’s learned to live with. That scares him too."

    Summary

    “Just once,” Donghyuck huffs as he boldly shoots Yuta with an accusatory finger. “Just once, I want you to recognize me as the winner—No!” That wasn’t enough. “The youngest! I mean, you know it’s me right? Not Mark, not Jungwoo. And I hope your mind isn’t stuck in 2015 because it’s not Jaehyun either!” He leans in, right before jabbing that same finger right into Yuta’s chest just to get his point across, “Me!”

    Yuta glances over to his finger still placed on his chest before raising an eyebrow at him as if to say, 'take it off or I will.'

    Summary

    It's on Neul's next stream that Hanbin stupidly slips up. He swears that he is on his alt Twitch account, but it turns out to be his main. Hanbin only realizes his mistake the moment he sees his username flash on screen as a new chatter.

    ✪ pookiebin: hiiii neul :3

    He tries to act like he's just another random person joining, but the viewers recognize him instantly.

    After years of his friends (and peers) demanding he put himself out there, Zhang Hao starts a twitch account and quickly realizes he's not built for gaming. Famous streamer Sung Hanbin finds his streams effortlessly entertaining. When Hanbin accidentally reveals himself as an avid watcher, things take a turn for the GAY!

    Summary

    “He’s so cute, right, hyung? Isn’t he the cutest? And he’s a Wooyoung bias, so you know he likes guys!"

    “Being a Wooyoung bias doesn’t make you gay.”

    “It actually does.”

     

    [or: Taerae doesn’t expect much when he meets another fan at an Ateez concert—especially not one tall enough to block his view—but Gyuvin’s playful charm and kindness quickly win him over, and and maybe, just maybe, he starts to fall for him.]
