    Summary

    “Went back to Canada. Lived with my mom and sister. Tried to forget.” When Matthew looks up, Gunwook sees in his eyes something so familiar and complicated that his breath stops.

    “And did you?” asks Gunwook, swallowing. “Forget?”

    Matthew gives him a wry, sad smile. “No,” he says, soft. “I didn’t.”

    ────

    Three years ago, Gunwook's best friend and only sanctuary disappeared without notice. When Gunwook's finished with military service, he decides to go back to his rural childhood home, but finds Matthew there waiting for him.

    Cue domestic rural life, though Gunwook's memories are threatening to shatter the peace. (Also, the heating breaks down and there's only one bed, etcetera, etcetera.)

    Summary

    What Sasuke Uchiha wants is an indeterminate EC-02 Step 2 position with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation that offers a decent salary, health benefits, paid vacation, and a manager who won't break all his Excel spreadsheets. What he gets is Naruto Uzumaki, an improbably attractive and unbearably annoying co-op student who eats way too much instant ramen and doesn't understand that "casual Friday" doesn't mean varsity sweatpants.

    Summary

    Suho’s head tilts ever so slightly, confused.

    It comes louder this time, Sieun’s voice, but barely. Suho can just make out the string of words tumbling out of Sieun’s mouth at a rapid pace.

    “Welliwasthinkingaboutitandobviouslywearecloseandyouwouldneverjudgemeandicantbelieveimevenaskingthisbut—” Sieun’s words stutter. He trips over himself, catches himself again. He stops, exhales a few quick, heavy breaths, and continues. This time his words are calmer, more collected.

    “Can you teach me how to kiss?”

    Suho gives Sieun kissing lessons.

    Summary

    “What about you?” Humin asks.

    “What about me?” Sieun replies, deadpan.

    “You know what I mean. What about the boy whose picture you keep in your wallet, what is he to you?” Humin asks, tone teasing but soft.


    or: a rewrite of sieun & baku’s talk after the rooftop fight in ep5.
