    Summary

    It’s nice to be loved, Namjoon muses later, when he’s alone in his bed and his thoughts settle languidly in the back of his mind. Seokjin loves him, and it’s the highest praise he’s ever received.

    Even if he can’t return it.

    The odd feeling in his gut returns. It’s probably guilt.

    It would be better, he thinks, if Seokjin were here.

    He spends plenty of nights alone, and this should be no different. He doesn’t even see Seokjin daily to miss him like this. Yet knowing Seokjin’s in another country, that he can’t just see him, makes Namjoon feel cold and empty.

    Summary

    Ilya nods and takes a step toward Irina, nuzzling her skirt-covered thigh. It doesn't smell of the familiar soap anymore.

    “Just a little more,” she promises. “We'll be… there soon, Ilyusha.”

    She wanted to say home. We'll be home soon, Ilyusha. But she stopped herself at the last second, because now, it seems, home is gone. At least the one they used to know.

    — In 1996, Irina Rozanova packs her two sons' things into one bag and runs as fast as she can, as far away from Russia as possible. That, somehow, leads the three of them to Canada.

    Mom is the greatest, so of course she immediately captures Shane in a hug and picks him up. And maybe that’s exactly what Shane needs. But mom doesn’t know Shane like Ilya does, doesn’t love him like Ilya loves him, and she’ll never be able to play hockey with him, so it’s unfair that she’s rocking him in her arms now, whispering, “It’s okay, you’re okay.”

    Summary

    Yuna Hollander stares at the diamond engagement ring in slight horror as her husband laughs silently next to her on the couch. Her five year old son stares back at her with his doe eyes on her other side.

    “I'm sorry, sweetie,” she asks as calmly as possible, “did you say a boy gave this to you?”

    Or, a near lifetime from Yuna's eyes.

    Summary

    “Alexei, I fucking told you to never call me again, you fucking piece of—”

    “Am I speaking with Ilya Grigorievich Rozanov?”

    Ilya went silent immediately. That was not his brother’s voice. Nor was it Katia’s, his sister-in-law. It was an aristocratic, cold voice. He went completely still.

    “Yes.”

    “I’m calling from the Child Services Department, Ilya Grigorievich,” the woman continued, and Ilya frowned deeply. “Your brother Alexei Rozanov and his wife died yesterday in a car accident.”

    Twice in his life, Ilya had felt like this. The ice around his heart melted just enough for the numbness to vanish and give way to a sharp, stinging pain. It lasted only two seconds before he managed to compose himself. He didn’t want to feel anything for Alexei, so even if Katia’s death carried a trace of sadness—she was a mess, but she always tried to smile at him and cook warm meals for him when he visited Russia—, he dismissed the feeling entirely.

    “So what?”

    “You are the only living family member of their daughter. Your brother named you as her legal guardian, Ilya Grigorievich.”

    He wished Shane’s home wasn’t on the other side of the city, but here. With him, with Irina—and he quietly mourned how long they’d have to wait for that to change.

    Summary

    When he was seven years old, Shane Hollander was briefly lost at an airport. Luckily, the kindness of a stranger ensured he made it back to his parents safely, putting an end to a terrifying three hours for the Hollanders. It takes twenty years (and one heated rivalry) for Shane to learn the name of his rescuer. It takes twenty years for Ilya to learn his wish had already come true.

    Thank you, Mama, he thought, for giving him to me.
