    Summary

    “He has so many imaginary friends— we all thought he was making you up—” Shota’s dad rushes to explain. He’s blushing furiously. “Chan said he’s never seen anyone—”

    “Well,” Jeonghan laughs. He’s been waiting for this moment. “Usually Chan is too busy flirting with some guy on the playground to notice.”

    Shota’s dad makes a little noise, almost defeated. His face scrunches up, and for the first time he looks just like Shota. Jeonghan’s chest hurts a little bit.

    “Okay. This has been really insightful,” he says. He waves a hand in the air, eyes failing to meet Jeonghan’s. “I’m going to have to talk with him about that— uh— I’m sorry, you’ve been, like, babysitting my kid three times a week, apparently.”

    (OR: Seungcheol learns about the inherent homoeroticism of sitting on a park bench with his kid’s imaginary friend.)

    Summary

    “I’m so sorry,” Joshua says, rolling himself up into a sitting position. His limbs still feel heavy and slow, following his brain’s directions half a second behind the beat. The muscles in his shoulders feel stretched out, unknotted. Languid. It’s the unfamiliar feeling of having slept for as long as your body needs to sleep. “I didn’t mean to do that.”

    Joshua cannot sleep, unless he's in Minghao's bed. It's kind of ruining his life.

    Summary

    Joshua tries to commiserate with Chan, whose longstanding crush on Seungcheol is increasingly painful for him (and Joshua might also need a bit of cheering up, considering his most recent failed attempt at a relationship). Wine, cuddling, kissing, and sleeping in the same bed even though he has a guest room for this very purpose lead to a morning where things change for them both.

    Summary

    Every time Soobin has his eyes on him, Yeonjun feels like he’s made out of a thin, opalescent glass. Completely fucking transparent. The waves crash behind them, in and out, whoops and hollers of rowdy youth, the heat radiating off the fire, suffocating. Soobin’s eyes look right through him.

    He can feel his heartbeat, strong and fast against his ribcage.

    Another lollipop.

    A moment of silence, and then, “What flavor?”

    He watches the flames lick up the logs in the pit, slowly eating away at their casing.

    “Strawberry.”

    (OR: Yeonjun is forced back into his hometown after being kicked out of university and a brief stint in rehab only to find that the boy he used to bully in high school grew up into everything he's ever needed)
