Summary
'“I can’t be a househusband. I’m not married.”
“You’re right,” Minho grumbles. “A wedding would sort you right out.”
It’s the second time he’s said that today. Seungmin slides his gaze sideways. Minho is scowling, but in that exaggerated way that means he doesn’t mean it. “So I’m never getting married,” he declares brazenly, just to see what Minho will do.
Minho purses his mouth and slides his own eyes sideways to meet Seungmin’s. He takes in the smile Seungmin is doing a bad job of fighting back. “Wrong again, Kim Seungmin,” he says. His fingers tighten.'

Summary
“This is Seungmin,” Chan introduces warmly.
“Sure,” Minho says with minimal interest. “Is he any good?”
Seungmin has never really felt self-conscious about his body, but suddenly all he feels is the limp weight of his skinny legs and knobby knees as Minho gives him an unimpressed onceover.
“He’s good, Minho. Completely rounds out our midfield.”
Minho looks Seungmin in the eye for the first time, if only briefly.
“Great. You’ll have no problem not getting in the way.” Then he’s turning around, jogging back to the field like Seungmin is a speck with both everything and nothing to prove.

Summary
“Please tell me Dispatch are way off the mark with this one,” their manager Dowoon begs as soon as Minho walks into the meeting room. “Please.”
Minho pauses and thinks back to the headline that Changbin thrust in his face that morning. The headline to an article that has taken all of Korea – and much of the world beyond it – by storm in a matter of hours.
“I can’t,” he says and watches all of the light leave Dowoon’s eyes.
Three years into his career – and four and a half since he last saw his husband and childhood friend – news of Minho's marriage leaks to the public. Seungmin re-enters his life not long after.
Here's how they deal with the fallout.

Summary
Kim Seungmin, two-time KBO MVP and newest member of the Oakland A’s, has a problem.
“You didn't tell me your friend was hot,” Seungmin accuses.
“When would I have brought it up?” Jisung raises his voice an octave in mocking mimicry. “Hey, Seungmin-ah, I know you've been finding the food they serve in the team cafeteria super boring, maybe you can work something out with my university friend who lives nearby who’s a health nut and cooks really well but needs somewhere to do it because the kitchen in his apartment is shit and oh by the way he's hot.”
(or: seungmin and minho, two strangers previously joined only by their mutual affection for one han jisung, find a new home in each other across the pacific ocean)
