    Summary

    Hyunjin ends up giving Changbin another onceover as he fills the car outside, only because it’s between that or staring at a decrepit parking lot. How he rolls his shoulders and stretches his arms overhead, brushes his palm on his jeans after putting the gas pump back.

    Honestly? Not bad. That’s why he looks away wordlessly when he comes back in, instead of telling him that his shirt is hideous.

    Jisung convinces Hyunjin to go on a road trip. Not with him, but the guy he does music with.

    Summary

    Chan looks at Hyunjin like he is a masterpiece.

    Which doesn’t make sense, because Chan doesn’t love Hyunjin. He doesn’t love Hyunjin like a friend, because they haven’t known each other long enough for such a familiarity. He doesn’t love Hyunjin like that, because their relationship—if you can even call it that, and frankly Hyunjin doesn’t think you could—is a transaction. It’s not real.

    But here, as they sit next to each other on the grass of the museum’s rooftop bar, it feels like it could be. And that terrifies Hyunjin most of all.


    or:
    Recently graduated from art school and struggling to make ends meet, Hyunjin thinks he’s found the perfect solution in offering up his services as a (platonic) escort, especially when approached by Bang Chan, a handsome (but lonely) record producer. And it is the perfect solution—until those feelings become...decidedly less platonic.

    Summary

    “You’re a year younger than me, then.” Changbin muses. “My first Billboard debut happened at your age.”

    “Are you trying to impress him?” Seungmin interrupts, sounding incredulous.

    Changbin presses a red button on the soundboard without turning away from Hyunjin.

    “He can’t hear us when I do that.”

    Summary

    “Everything okay?” Changbin asked, voice rough with sleep but still concerned, rather than angry.

    “Uhm, I— yeah? I uh.” Chan licked his lips, nervous and feeling silly, stupid. “There’s a vampire in my closet.”

    There were a few beats of silence, on the other end of the line, nothing but the faint staticky crackle of the connection. “There’s a what in your where?” Changbin finally asked.

    Summary

    “You want me to stalk Chan for you?” Hyunjin clarifies, disbelieving, laughing.

    “Not—not stalk! I’m sorry, it’s just—he won’t talk to me, and I don’t want him to be alone. And you’re the best person I know, and I really trust you with him. Could you—would you?”

    Felix’s eyes are so big. He needs Hyunjin so much, and he’s saying Chan does, too. How can Hyunjin possibly refuse?

    “Felix,” Hyunjin says, putting one hand over his heart, “I won’t let you down.”
