Summary
"You've not been coming here for long." A question disguised as a statement. You're not supposed to ask people why they're in a NA meeting, in the same way you shouldn't really ask an inmate what landed them behind bars.
"I wasn't aware you were keeping tabs on me," he answers with a smile. It almost feels like he's being flirted with.
Awfully similar feeling to the first time he tried aci—

OR: When someone unfamiliar shows up in a setting that's gotten a little too predictable, the fish-free life that Jisung has been building is at risk of collapsing.

Summary
The first time Jisung sees Minho in four years — the first proper time, not the glimpses during Chuseok and odd weekends here and there when he’d come down from university — he’s running his hand through his hair and looking so unbelievably beautiful Jisung almost falls off his bike.
He hasn’t spoken to Minho in a long time.
Or: in 2002, four years after Minho moved to college, four years after they stopped speaking, seven years after Jisung fell for him, twelve years since the day they met, Jisung and Minho fall in love again.

Summary
“I think you’re lying, all the time. I think you think about me too.”
Jisung is close again, in a place he should never have entered. A place Minho had willingly opened to him, luring him into his den. A wolf trapping an unsuspecting lamb; pretty, blinking up at him with trembling eyes. Trembling eyes, but a steady, manly voice. Half a man; apparently more of one than Minho himself.
“Because I do think about you, professor Lee.”
For the sake of his less-than-likely redemption, Minho wants to think he’s not the one who bridges the distance. For the sake of his poor, rotten soul, he decides to think it’s Jisung who leans in further. And if his own back is no longer touching the wood of his chair, and he’s leaning over the desk just barely, then it’s a secret between him and hell.
Or Professor Minho shouldn’t fall for his new research assistant and his sweet, sad, angry eyes. He still does.

Summary
When Minho first meets Jisung, he’s been given six months to live.
“Could be a year, if he’s lucky,” says Chan, the man who answers the door for Minho and introduces himself as Jisung’s best friend.
Jisung, the tiny, wisp of a thing sitting in a wheelchair with a pink beanie on his head and a green knit blanket covering his lap, smiles mildly. “Channie’s an optimist,” he says. He waits until the other man walks into a different room to add, “I’ve never been lucky.”
(Or: Jisung is dying. Minho gets hired as his death doula.)

Summary
“You should throw it over the edge.”
“The ring?”
“Yeah. I heard it’s cathartic or something.”
“You want me to throw an eight-million-won ring over the side of a mountain?”
“Yeah. What else are you going to do with it? Fuck that bitch. Respectfully, though, if, y’know—if you’re still on good terms.” Minho can’t help but laugh at Jisung’s candidness.
“You’re crazy.”
Or// Two weeks before he’s set to propose, Minho’s girlfriend breaks up with him, and he asks his friend Jisung to go on the trip with him instead.
