    Summary

    Jo uses photography to capture the world, but nothing has ever caught his eye like Yuma, the enigmatic new student who keeps appearing across campus—and slowly, inside Jo’s life.


    “Why?” Yuma asks, his tone quieter now, but no less intense. “Why are you taking pictures of me?”

    Jo’s mind fractures into useless fragments. He thinks of light. Of the way Yuma’s presence seems to reorganize space. Of how his camera behaves like it recognizes him. None of this is explainable. None of it is admissible. He needs something small. Something survivable. What he produces instead is neither. “Because you’re… perfect.”

    Summary

    But now, pinned beneath him, breathless and aching, Soobin looks into Yeonjun’s eyes and sees something too familiar. It’s the same wild spark Yeonjun gets whenever he argues with Beomgyu, too intense, too feral, too charged. That unreadable look that always flashes across Yeonjun’s face when Beomgyu annoys him doesn’t seem to be just rage– no, it's clearly something more tangled, a weird mix of frustration and… lust.

    At that, Soobin finally understands that his boyfriend doesn’t just hate Beomgyu– he hates that he wants him.

    Once Soobin realises his boyfriend’s hostility towards their beautiful, new roommate is fueled less by anger and more by concealed, smoldering lust, he’s quick to turn the situation to his advantage and have some fun with it.

    Summary

    “There you go.” Harua muttered, “But I’m in.”

    “You are?” Yuma’s far too excited at the prospect of Harua accepting this slightly suspicious, no-thought-behind-it deal, practically climbing into his lap to wrap his arms around Harua’s neck like he was denied earlier. Harua could feel his excitement in the warmth of his cheeks against his own exposed shoulder, and he’d be lying if his heart wasn’t beaming at the thought of Yuma caring so much about his opinion.

    Harua nodded against Yuma’s head, “I am. Whatever you want, I’ll do it.”

    When Yuma approached Harua with a bet, he found himself agreeing despite his doubts. The reason was simple: Both of them wanted Nicholas, but only one of them could have him. Whoever won him over first would get to keep Nicholas all to themselves.

    Where was the harm in a little healthy competition?

    Summary

    Nicholas groans into his mouth, pulling back only to breathe. “We shouldn’t be doing this.”

    Yuma chuckles, gaze heated. “And why is that?” His eyes sparkle like he’s telling a joke.

    Because you’ll break my heart, Nicholas thinks fleetingly, and reaches back down to press his lips against Yuma’s.

    Summary

    His name is Yuma, and Euijoo is fucking obsessed with him.

    Nicholas isn’t petty by nature. He’s sure the guy is great, that he’s as hilarious and sweet and amazing in bed as Euijoo says he is. And he wouldn’t care if it were anyone else’s hookup. But there’s something about the guy you’ve been in love with since high school—who applied for the same university and bought an apartment across the hall and comforted you through every failed exam—getting a boyfriend that isn’t you that stings a little bit.

    (or: euijoo's new boyfriend is surprisingly perceptive about nicholas's long-time crush. and a little too interested.)
