    Summary

    Euijoo meets Nicholas in a bar on Manhattan Beach Pier during the 2021 International Surf Festival. Nicholas is lean, blonde, bounces off the walls and laughs loud. His voice is deeper than it should be and he’s got little to no game, but Euijoo sticks around anyway. Nicholas is built and he’s hot, his shirt tight across his shoulders, his hair wild around his ears. He’s bright like sunshine and his lips are sinful when they wrap around the neck of a beer bottle or the rim of a glass of coke.

    Nicholas doesn’t live too far from the pier; they walk side by side on the beach, talking about LA. Euijoo’s accent seems to stick to the roof of his mouth, and he pushes his hands in the pockets of his boardshorts to keep himself from reaching out, feeling Nicholas’s pulse at his wrist, seeing if it beats as fast as he talks. Nicholas takes his sandals off, toes digging in the sand.

    Nicholas says, suddenly, cutting through the random topics they’re fleeting on, “I don’t really do this,” which seems like a lie until he adds, “With guys, I mean.”

    To love is to change. Euijoo and Nicholas change each other, over the course of 5 summers.

    Summary

    The gods tie a thread around your smallest finger before you are born. That thread is red, the color of blood, of passion, of the cord that binds a child to its mother. Its other end is tied to your soulmate—somewhere in the world, someone whose thread is knotted to yours. You cannot see it. You cannot feel it. Only when your soulmate speaks your true name for the first time, the string vibrates like a plucked harp string, and the sound it makes is the sound of your own heartbeat, heard from outside your body for the first time.

    But in the eyes of the Church, a string tied by pagan gods is no string at all. It is a temptation. A pretty lie whispered by the devil to lead good vulnerable boys into the dark.

    In the dark, it holds the only place two boys can love.

    Summary

    Nicholas forces himself to look down at his lap. Vertigo hits him quick and hard. His hands are—not his hands. They’re thin, tapered, a couple shades darker. He blinks a few times. His brain tells them to move and then they do. No delay. He looks at them, clenching and relaxing: bone, muscle, sinew, tendon, skin. All under his control.

    These are Euijoo’s hands. They shake a little. He has to swallow a scream.

    On the first day of summer, Nicholas wakes up inside Euijoo's body.

    Summary

    Euijoo has been warned about boys like Nicho since he was old enough to say "Amen.”

    He's been told that some people are born broken. That evil has a way of seeping into you if you let it. That temptation always wears a pretty face.

    But temptation, Euijoo thinks, doesn't usually have blood on its knuckles and a cigarette between its lips.

    Summary

    There are eleven items in total on Sungho’s list. The actual contents are a bit absurd.

    Go on a Blind Date. Go Skinny Dipping. Learn to Drive. Kiss a Stranger. (Yes, an actual stranger!!!) 

    “I’m not doing this stuff, Sungho,” Euijoo says. “Where would I even find someone to go on a blind date with?” 

    (OR: Euijoo doesn't know who he is without his best friend. Nicholas helps him figure it out.)
