    Summary

    “I’m sorry,” Soobin said as he placed a sytrofoam cup of black coffee between Yeonjun's feet and tried not to react to the way cigarette smoke stung his throat. “I shouldn’t have come to your house without asking. We’re coworkers and I completely stepped over—”

    “No, you didn't. You didn’t do anything wrong... Listen, I–'' There was a heavy weight to Yeonjun’s voice suddenly, but Soobin didn't waver. “I didn’t want you to see any of that. I didn’t even want you to know where I live. Because I don’t– I just don’t want you to think of any of that stuff when you think of me. I don’t want you involved in any of that stuff.”

    “Because we’re just coworkers,” Soobin attempted to clarify.

    “No, not because of that.”

    Yeonjun and Soobin meet the fall after they graduate from the same high school when Soobin picks up a part-time job at the worst coffee shop in town. Soobin is shy, sensitive, and quiet. Yeonjun is brash, loud, and guarded. Soobin's not Yeonjun's type. Soobin hates the Yeonjun from high school. So, why is Soobin the first person who catches Yeonjun when his life falls apart?

    companion to palm mute heart.

    Summary

    Hyunwook is over him.

    He can totally keep their very platonic, super-close friendship, a friendship.
    He is no longer a victim of Park Jihoon’s beautiful eyes.

    Which is why, when he wakes up to five Yeon Sieuns staring at him, he only whimpers a little bit.

     Hyunwook chooses five Yeon Sieuns.

    Summary

    Jihoon has enough on his plate; school is one thing, but balancing class with his responsibilities as stage manager to a highschool reenactment of Grease is something else. Their director is a mess, the band kids are better at flirting with the cast than they are at playing their instruments, and the pressure of putting on a good show – knowing that this may be the last one they ever get to do – is heavy.

    Oh, and one other thing: having a colossal crush on his best friend isn’t making things any easier.
