Summary
Everyone has one. Delicate, spectral, and only visible to the person it belongs to. A soul’s compass—leading across cities, years, and lifetimes to the person you're destined to love.
Everyone… except Sim Jaeyun.

Summary
“You’re not taking too much space. You’re not a stray. You’re home — if you want it.”
Riki never meant to stay — just steal a wallet, survive another night, and disappear. But Heeseung’s coat is warm, Jake’s ramyeon tastes like safety, and the shed out back is waiting for his hands to fix it — and maybe, if he’s brave enough, he can find his way home too.

Summary
Jaeyun tilts his head a bit, looking suddenly almost puppy-like, cute and wide-eyed and innocent, and – this is bad. Very bad. Heeseung should probably retreat and start pushing his truck out of their driveway and continue on until he reaches the next state over, no matter how long it takes or how it will inevitably lead to him collapsing from exhaustion twenty minutes in.
At least he’d be somewhere that Jaeyun is not, and he’d surely be better off for it.
“I asked if you’re a new volunteer,” Jaeyun repeats, and even his voice is pretty, his accent strong and thick, with a slight lisp that Heeseung manages to find simultaneously endearing and enticing. “For the church?”
Or, when Heeseung’s truck breaks down outside of a pastor’s house in the midst of a cross-country road trip that was supposed to give him a fresh start, he meets Jake, who’s in desperate need of a ride to a fresh start of his own. It’s a match made in – well, not in heaven. But something close to it.

Summary
“We’ve met, actually,” Jake interrupts Sunghoon smoothly, keeping his eyes fixed on Heeseung as he says it, the sharp corners of his lips quirking up into a bright smile. “It’s been a while, though.”
We went to high school together, Heeseung imagines in Jake’s lilting, slightly lispy voice. Heeseung was totally obsessed with me. Or, potentially, even worse: We barely knew each other.
“We went to high school together,” Jake explains, in line with the fictionalized version of him Heeseung had created, and then – he diverges from it entirely, down a third path that Heeseung hadn’t anticipated. It is, somehow, the worst of all the worst-case scenarios he’d come up with. “He wasn’t my biggest fan, though. Right, Heeseung?”
or: Heeseung, Jake, and all the stories they don't know how to tell.
