    Summary

    Religion! Horror! Exorcisms! Piercings! And Gerard is a priest.

    Disclaimer: I stole frequently and unrepentantly from Joss Whedon and the makers of various horror movies throughout this whole series. Also I am not an expert on the Vatican or medical-type things, so please accept my apologies in advance for all the wild inaccuracies I am sure you are about to encounter. If everyone could just assume this is the Magical Made-Up Vatican, you know, like the religious institution version of those tour buses that drive themselves and don't carry anyone but the band, that would be awesome.

    Summary

    “Have you ever heard about the origami hearts tradition in the hospital?”

    Taking the heart, the child excitedly inspected it, nodding in glee. “Yes! My mama told me that when someone leaves the hospital to go to heaven, we all fold a paper heart for them! Like this, like this!”

    “That’s right,” chuckled Soobin. “But do you know how it started? It started here, in this room. From a boy who used to fold a paper heart every day for his lost love, hoping each one he makes will take him closer to the day those eyes would open again.”

    "Unfortunately for him, the day never came."

    In other words, a hopeless love story of two childhood best friends who didn't realise what it meant to have each other until it was too late; compiled of yearning, loss, forlorn hope, unrequited love, and every tragedy in between.

    Summary

    "A fucking email?!" Soobin tears right into him, not caring that the younger man is clearly groggy with sleep. "I get a fucking email?!"

    "Soobinie," His boyfriend whispers to the receiver, sighing tiredly, but then his resignation turns into indignation. "Do you have any idea what time it is?"

    "It's a clobbering time, that's what time it is!" Soobin seethes. "Why didn't you call to tell me this shit, Kai?"

    "Because I knew you'd be angry," Kai defends his choice of action petulantly.

    "For future reference: knowing that what you have to say will upset me is precisely the reason why you should call to tell me, not say it in a goddamn email."
     

     

    (There is no doubt in Soobin's mind that his relationship with Kai is the most important thing in his life, and instinctively he decides that everything has to make way for them to be together. All Soobin wants for his life is to be with Kai – for a hundred days, even for more than that, he yearned to just be with him again. Why would Soobin ever sacrifice that for a one-in-a-million chance at becoming an artist?

    He’s never been so wrong.)

    Summary

    “You fell asleep first,” Kai bluffs.

    “Look me in the eyes and say that again.”

    Oh, Kai can do that all night. He didn’t learn how to bluff from Taehyun for nothing.

    “You fell—”

    Soobin cups his cheek, his thumb brushing softly across his skin, and Kai’s words die in his throat.
