    Summary

    'I just mean,' Nicholas starts, then looks away like he’s nervous. He has this badly disguised, kicked-kitten expression that Euijoo remembers from when they were younger, when he used to think to himself, I can’t believe there are people scared of him at school. 'All those years alone? So lonely, Juju! Not even any flings—'

    'No,' says Euijoo through his teeth, frustrated and humiliated and mostly a little starved. 'There’s no one. Not since—' And then he swallows his own tongue.

    Those strange, wonderful, inseparably close teenage years; the freedom in inevitably drifting apart; and the ache of the aftermath.

    Summary

    everything’s about choices — from the friends you pick during your first days at school, to the last words you’ll ever speak. choices shape you. they tell the world who you are, and for Euijoo, that’s always mattered.

    but

    for Nicholas — someone who had long since chosen the wrong path — choices were just an illusion for the weak.
    shame on him, for being one of them.

    Summary

    See, this is the way their dynamic falls into place. Nicholas grabs Euijoo and pulls, and Euijoo allows himself to be dragged along. It’s a bit like orbiting the sun; you can’t help the pull nor the motion, but it’s not like you mind. You really don’t mind at all.

    or, what it means to truly know someone.

    Summary

    It is a stupidly terrifying thought to picture Seoul without Nicholas in it. Nicholas has been less of a friend and more of a fact, something Euijoo never considered removable. And now—maybe he is. Maybe tomorrow or February or some terrible soon, Nicholas will shift categories from person I know like a second self to person I used to know.

    And if this goes horribly—if Euijoo does what he’s planning and it detonates right in his face—he can always claim ignorance in the morning. He can blame the beer. He can say he doesn’t remember. Because what he’s about to do is stupid. Not just stupid—borderline catastrophic. But there’s another voice, quieter, stubborn: better to look stupid now than to spend the rest of your life wondering what if.

    Summary

    Nicholas has spent his life keeping people at arm’s length. To him, packs are messy, and alphas are untrustworthy.

    Then he meets Euijoo. A friendly, patient, and infuriatingly persistent beta - or so Nicholas assumes.

    Against his better judgment, Nicholas lets Euijoo and his pack get closer.

    Maybe letting a bit of warmth in past his cold exterior isn't as bad as he thought it would be.
