    Summary

    City lights flicker weakly in the distance, like brushstrokes in the background of a painting, highlighting the main subject that sits in the darkness with a pained look in his eyes, the untold kind of pain.

    “This is what it’s like to assume your past experiences prepare you for the future. It’s nothing but an illusion.”

    Minho’s throat feels clogged up now, no words making it past his lips. There’s pain in his own lungs, taking up the space of all the air. And he wishes he can escape the feeling, but Jisung, for the first time, doesn’t look away from him as he talks, doesn’t try to hide the weight of his words or mask it behind an attempt at humor.

    “Minho-ssi,” he near whispers, “do you know how I got injured?”

     

    or: Minho and Jisung, and disasters you can't see coming even if you prepare yourself for.

    Summary

    “Hey, can I borrow your laptop?” Jisung asks.

    “Sure.”

    And then it takes Changbin two more minutes after Jisung has gone into his bedroom to shoot up off the couch and yell, “No! Wait, no, you can’t!”

    It’s too late. Jisung is already frowning at the screen. “Hey, why do you have this note on here—Chan is only allowed 2 more Linkin Park songs—what does that mean?”

    “Nothing! It doesn’t mean anything!” He scrambles to close the window. Unfortunately, behind it is—

    “Is this Chan-hyung’s playlist?”

    Changbin groans. “No. It’s nothing.”

    Jisung squints. “Well, I think he’s exceeded his Linkin Park quota, if it is.”

    Listen, it's not stalking, precisely. It's just checking in. It's just making sure Chan is okay. It's for a good cause.

    Summary

    “I want to tell you about the guy I’ve fallen in love with.”

     

    ***

    Minho is the secret author behind famous campus blog ‘Lino’s Guide on How to Die From Natural Causes’. He’s pretty content with his life — between teasing friends and an unrequited love — but it all takes a turn when he receives a seemingly innocent message.

    Summary

    When Minho went to buy groceries, he saw Jisung’s face on the cover of a magazine at checkout. Hands shaking, he picked it up. It was their newest issue. Jisung’s face was smooth, flawless. He looked perfect. He looked like a stranger. Minho was filled with the sudden urge to cry. He didn’t.

    If Minho had to describe Jisung in one page, nothing in the magazine would’ve made the cut. Jisung was a force of nature. He was the storm and the sun after rain. He was stubborn and wonderful and kind. Minho loved him still and knew at that moment that he always would — in silence, in loneliness, through phone and TV screens.

    My superstar, he thought, and tried to smile even as it felt like his heart was breaking all over again. Mine, and everyone else’s.

    Summary

    The conclusion Minho has come to after nights spent thinking of wavy brown hair when he spaces out during Jeongin’s kids shows, days spent with his eyes skimming the beach for a glimpse of honey skin, is that humans have an interest in the unknown.

    Jisung is a new character in his day to day, the first in ages, ever since Hyeju got hired as a lifeguard. Jisung is pretty and he’s from the mainland but he seems to be setting up a life here, and Minho knows nothing about him besides his name. His brain has inexplicably latched onto a weaved story, a routine thing he and Hyunjin do, because humanity craves to learn more about the unknown.

    The Jisung in his head is separate from the Jisung on the beach, though they look the same. A temporary annoyance, a psychological torment.

    (OR: Minho, left to care for his younger brother after his parents death, works to make ends meet and doesn't have time for distractions. Jisung, a free-spirited and very distracting surfer, moves to town and turns Minho's world on it's head.)
