Summary
Lost souls like Jaemin always find themselves in Hunter’s Creek one way or another. Mark has a duty to help guide and protect them, as surely as a sheepdog does its flock.

Summary
“That’s what this is about?” Mark sets Renjun’s phone down on the table. “You wrote a poem about…a guy that works with cats? At a café?”
“You make it sound stupider than it actually is,” Renjun groans, kicking him from under the table. In all fairness, it is stupid, very much so, but he can’t stand when his own stupidity is recognised by people that aren’t himself, Mark included. “Shut up and tell me if it’s good or not.”
(Or, Chenle works at a cat café part time, and Renjun is entirely normal about it.)

Summary
Renjun waits until Chenle is taking a sip of his tea to tell him, “I’m sleeping with my husband."
Chenle doesn’t quite do a spit-take, but he does start sputtering. “That’s great,” he says, once he recovers. The look on his face says otherwise. “I’m happy for you."
It is kind of great, actually. Or it would be, if Renjun hadn't married Mark for the sole purpose of keeping his visa.
Or: Within the span of one year Mark and Renjun go from being strangers, to friends, to friends with benefits, to lovers. Throughout it all, they're husbands.

Summary
“It doesn’t have to be that perfect,” video Chenle says, voice more subdued than his usual sunny camera disposition. “Really, none of these date night foods have to be perfect. The care you put into your cooking is what makes the final dish taste good. My boyfriend has better knife skills than me anyway.” He says the last part with a laugh.
There’s a few extra seconds of Chenle explaining the kimchi soup base, but Jaemin can’t help replaying the “my boyfriend has better knife skills than me” part. It’s innocuous, yet it makes his heart skip a beat.
Then, Jaemin exits full screen and gets an eyeful of the caption.

Summary
Jaemin got drafted fifteenth overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs, grinning so wildly that it almost cracked his face in two as the general manager shook his hand, slipping that ugly blue and white jersey over his perfect head. Cameras flashed, the dark blue contrasted terribly with his mess of pink hair, and that had been that. Jaemin was officially out of reach, out of Chenle’s life forever.
Eight thousand kilometers away, Chenle had watched on a tiny phone screen in the privacy of his room, burrowed into one of Jaemin’s old sweatshirts—stolen on one of their late night adventures—and cried.
-
Or, Chenle is perfectly fine (read: so unbelievably not fine at all) playing college hockey two years after kissing Jaemin on the night that Jaemin left him for the NHL. Of course Jaemin has to come back and throw a sexy ass wrench into all of his life plans (read: again, no plans at all, he’s kind of a mess).

Summary
It’s nothing new. Not all lifespans are equal. Not all things degrade at the same rate. Those who embody stars are outlived by them.
But what if your star doesn’t outlive you? What if you outlive your star? And what are the odds that a soul billions upon billions of years old had already begun the process of dying when it chose to inhabit Renjun? Renjun is running out of ways to convince himself that he isn’t that astronomically unlucky.
Slightly less urgent: what happens when an irritating flirt checks-in to room 606 of SM Suites and starts incinerating hotel property?

Summary
"This place," the man motions his hands around. "Is not the purgatory. The real purgatory is a library where we write ongoing human history into files, those of which God uses to judge where they fit based on their morality, life conditions and opportunities."
"Well, are my reports good?" Donghyuck asks, resting a hand on the lawyer's knee, eyes round and hopeful.
Mark stares back at him with no expression. "No."
Alternatively: Donghyuck thought picking a fight with God would be the most inconvenient step to get to Heaven, but being rommates with angel Na Jaemin has risen to the challenge.

Summary
Chenle pretends for the sake of his sanity that he had absolutely zero interest in Jaemin that way before they started this little game. As he starts noticing the changes in Jaemin’s behavior, he figures either the way he feels will eventually wear off or Jaemin will eventually lose interest in him. He’s dead wrong.
-
Or, Jaemin is a crazy person. Chenle is his girlfriend.

Summary
"Jaemin Na?" Minjeong says. “My friend said once she was in the Engineering hall computer lab after hours, and she saw Jaemin Na baby-talking into thin air, like there was someone invisible in front of him."
Yizhuo nods conspiratorially, and lowers her voice to a whisper. "I heard if you go to the library at 11 PM while holding a 100% sugar no-ice Taro milk tea from Gong Cha, and whisper his name three times in a row, he appears."
"Okay," Renjun laughs. "You guys are making him sound like an urban legend, or something. He’s just some dude."
"Wow," Haechan says, gleefully. "I always knew you were a bit of a conspiracy theorist, but I had no idea you would go so far as to fuck our local campus cryptid."
(Or: Renjun hooks up with Jaemin Na, who is not-a-cryptid but is also not-not-a-cryptid, and it all spirals from there.)

Summary
It’s been a year and a half since Chenle and Jeno last spoke, but all it takes for them to become close again is for something to break. No matter what Chenle does, he always seems to end up right where he’d started —at least if Jeno is back in his life, people will stop asking how he broke his wrist.
Seriously. Stop asking.

Summary
“Mark Lee,” Jaemin says, skating backwards. Mark’s name felt almost like a curse on his lips. “I haven’t seen you in a while.”
“You remember me?”
“The sweetheart of the neighbourhood? How could I forget?”
Mark and Jaemin meet again after years, reconcile, tumble into bed, and fall in love. Not in this order, though.

Summary
Chenle already had his gay awakening in high school. Meeting Qian Kun had been an experience and a half, truly. Anyway, been there, done that, now he carries around a bisexual pride pin or whatever, hurray! But now he is a grown man that pays taxes and cooks himself dinner, there’s simply no reason to be having a second sexuality crisis at his big age.
(chenle likes jeno so much it makes him look stupid.)

Summary
Sometimes you have to kiss the wrong person to figure out the right one, and sometimes the right person is not the model in your Economics class, or your best friend, or that boy who had a crush on you during your sophomore year. Sometimes, it's Crocs-wearing, cilantro eating, skincare enthusiast Jaemin Na.

Summary
That’s where he first saw Jaehyun.
In the park, jogging with his colour-coordinated athletic clothing, breaths steaming the air. His ears were as pink as his cheeks. His eyes were curious when his jog slowed to a walk, and then a stop in front of Doyoung. The little LGBT+ pin on his jacket shone in the dull light. He was too beautiful to look at, so Doyoung ignored him.

Summary
To manage the pain of an unrequited crush on a week-long ski trip, Chenle enlists the help of Jaemin for a fake, almost-but-not-quite relationship, since they're the only two in the group with no risk of the feelings becoming real. It's a stupid idea, but Jaemin has always had issues saying no —especially to Chenle.

“You’re ridiculous, you do know that, right?” Jeno asked, pouring a gin and tonic while Donghyuck paused walking the floor for a glass of lukewarm tap water. “Jaemin’s fine.”
“He’s fine to you, because he’d have to be a monster to be anything else.”
Jeno rolled his eyes. “Talk to him, Donghyuck, I don’t know. Find common ground so that I don’t have to match every shift with you to avoid the fallout if you’re put together.”

Summary
Jaemin hears the double thunk of Jisung’s shoes hitting the floor, then the rustling of his blankets in the darkness. He tries not to talk too much during these nighttime oases, afraid of spooking Jisung back into shyness, but Jisung has followed him back here like a shadow almost every night of the week this month. He’s proven himself difficult to get rid of—not that Jaemin has tried.
