Summary
Kim Seungmin arrives on his doorstep one blinding morning in July.
Minho blinks slowly. He almost doesn't recognize him.
“Hello, hyung,” greets Seungmin. A placid smile sits on his lips, but his eyes shine with mirth, as if he knows a secret Minho doesn’t. "Will you invite me in anytime soon, or are we just going to keep staring at each other?"
“Still a menace, I see,” Minho grumbles. At least that part hasn’t changed.
Minho and Seungmin first met in the summer of 2016. Five summers later, they parted ways. Now, after the documentary they made in high school resurfaces, their paths inevitably cross again.
Perhaps this time, love can blossom anew amidst the summer rain.

Summary
Nothing had ever come easy to Minho, especially not when it came to volleyball.
Which is why, when Kim Seungmin sauntered into the gym on the first day of official in-season practice, Minho immediately appointed him as Enemy Number One.
Kim Seungmin was the exact opposite to everything Minho was himself. He was naturally talented at the sport. He never struggled to learn new plays, never struggled during conditioning practices, never had to repeat a drill a hundred times to be able to execute it correctly. Due to this, he never tried harder than he had to, brushing off everyone who asked him to stay late or come in on an off-practice day. He shows up, does the bare minimum, and goes home after barely breaking a sweat.
Minho has never cared about anything in life more than volleyball. His final year of the collegiate sport is about to begin, and in with it walks prodigy Kim Seungmin. Minho immediately hates him. Confident and arrogant, Seungmin becomes Minho's biggest problem, surpassing making it to the national championships and life after college. Minho needs to do something about him, and quick.

Summary
“To play a wrong note is insignificant. To play without passion is inexcusable.”
Chan seems bound to walk through life and fall apart with every step. At least, until he stumbles into a street musician, who plucks the strings of his heart and plays the song he has been waiting for so long.

Summary
The words come easily. They’ve lived in him too long to be anything but instinct. The grass is green. The sky is blue. Hyunjin and Jisung are best friends and—
“I’m in love with you.”
Hyunjin goes still. For a long second, neither of them moves.
“I know the timing's awful,” Jisung rushes out, desperate to fill the silence. “You’re getting married. I’m the idiot best man. And I’m not asking for anything, I just… needed to say it once. Out loud.”
Only Jisung would have the terrible luck of getting stuck in a time loop with his best friend. The very best friend he’s been in love with for over a decade, who’s also about to marry someone else.

Summary
“Can I help you?” Minho asks after another beat of silence. Seungmin’s throat bobs.
“Your heat,” he starts, and then stops abruptly. Minho hums, cocking his head to the right. “During your heat, you said you wanted to help me through my rut.” Seungmin looks troubled for a split second, like he’s physically forcing the words out, but just as fast as the look appears it’s gone and smoothed away. “Did you mean it, or was that just the heat talking? Or what you thought I wanted to hear?”
Seungmin’s scent sits heavy in Minho’s nose, a sense memory and reality, a sweet twist to the lingering bitter flavour on his tongue. Coffee brewed perfectly, every time.
“I meant it. I want it, too. I’ve wanted to for a while.” He can’t say why, not really, but it’s easier to speak the idea out loud now that he’d shared it during the deep of his heat. Minho puts his mug down on their floral coasters, a gift store purchase from the airport in Melbourne. “What do you want, Seungmin?”
