    Summary

    “When we kiss—“

    “Hold up,” Hao frowns. “‘When’? Why would we kiss?”

    Hanbin blinks. “Because couples kiss all the time? Wouldn’t it be suspicious for Taerae to never see us kiss?”

    By the heavens, the kid’s got a point. Smart boy. “Okay, sure. If—”

    “When.”

    “—we kiss, we should probably save it as a last resort. Like, a make it or break it type of situation where Taerae and Matthew are really suspicious of us.”

    For some reason, Hanbin doesn’t seem too pleased by that idea, his mouth puckered in a sad little pout. Why he would be sad though, is beyond Hao.

    “What was your question?” Hao prompts, tempted to reach over and smooth the furrow of Hanbin’s knit brow with his fingers.

    Like magic, Hanbin perks up and his eyes glitter with the glory of a sky full of stars. “Can I use tongue?”

    Or, Hao lies to his best friend that he has a boyfriend. Thankfully Sung Hanbin is more than happy to go along with the charade, but why are his eyes so damn sparkly, why is he so warm all the time, and why does he keep asking if they can kiss with tongue?

    Summary

    “And where will I be?” Hanbin asks, softly.

    Zhang Hao looks back at him with his eyes containing entire constellations. “You will be next to me, of course.”

    When Hanbin accepted an offer to be a dance mentor on a trainee survival show, there were a lot of things he had accounted for: cut-throat competition, dubious editing, and spending his blood, sweat, and tears to push the hopeful trainees to do their best on the show. What he hadn’t accounted for: Zhang Hao, the leader of famous boy group STARCATCH, Korea’s fifth gen it-boy, and perhaps most importantly, Hanbin’s ex.

    Summary

    The surface of Earth is uninhabitable, humanity has retreated to independent city-states in the sky, and poverty is rampant in the city-state of Hwaseong. But for a chance at a better life, 99 male contestants can compete in an annual game of survival. The nine winners will be granted a portion of the significant pool of prize money. The rest will perish within the brutal grounds of the arena, located amongst the ruins of Seoul.

    Sung Hanbin, a convicted criminal, sees the games as his chance to escape either execution or exile and protect his best friend, Seok Matthew, from a similar fate. However he soon collides with another contestant, Zhang Hao, and in even in the midst of hell feelings begin to bloom.

    (Because this is, after all, a love story.)

    Summary

    “You’re welcome to bring people home, too. Just let me know and I’ll give you space,” Jiwoong says.

    “That’s not going to be a problem,” Hanbin averts his gaze, suddenly finding the texture of the wall fascinating. He doesn’t know what drives him to admit a secret he hasn’t even told Matthew, but then the words are spilling out of him before his brain can catch up. “I haven’t been in a relationship since college and that’s probably not going to change any time soon.”

    “Bad breakup?” Jiwoong surmises.

    That’s one hell of an understatement. Hanbin’s smile is rueful as he says, “Bad enough that I haven’t been able to date anyone since. Everyone around me is happily taken or engaged, and here I am still hung up on someone from six years ago.”


    Or, in the six years since Hanbin ripped his heart out of his own chest and watched Hao break it into pieces, he's dreamt of different ways their story could've ended and countless circumstances under which they might meet again. He just wasn't expecting the reality to be finding Hao all these years later as his new roommate's fuckbuddy.

    Summary

    The buyers who are coming to the auction today are from all over the world, according to the loud, pompous host. The host tells Porsche that he should be grateful for this opportunity.

    They put jewelry on him. They cover a bruise with makeup. They tell him where to go and where to stand, and then he waits.

    He doesn’t resist, doesn’t fight it. He never fights unless he’s told to.

    ~~~

    Kinn and Porsche first encounter each other at a very exclusive, very high-end auction. They end up having to flee the scene.
