Summary
So he did what he did best, he compartmentalised, compressed, deceived.
Except, there are flowers known for growing in difficult terrains, flowers that are unsightly, rough, persistent, lasting through winters, reborn every year. All it took was a little seed, a little gift, a little acknowledgement, and strong roots had bloomed in his heart. His chest was small, his blood poured often, so those flowers blossomed. Fucking snapdragons of all flowers. The first time Jaehyun coughed little skull shaped petals, he felt his eyes burn and vision blur, because he could not be that sentimental, life could not be that taunting. Except, it can, it is. Snapdragons can grow until they are over 75cm in length, that means that even after their prime, even after years had passed, even after that love had been long gone, like the ghost of a bruise, he still coughs them every spring and every summer.
And it was distressing, knowing he was made of regrets. Knowing that he could divide his life into then and now, the past he regrets and the new memories he builds every new day with Johnny.

Summary
"Taeil hyung was bewitched and Taeyong ran off to Korea and left us to fend for ourselves, so what kind of boyfriend would I be if I did not visit?”
This trembling infatuation, delicate and frail, quite like Yuta’s heart in itself, is still being shaped by good mornings messages, the casual brush of their palms, the knock of their knees, the lingering of a very toned arm wrapping around the edges of his sharp shoulders. It is burning steadily, quite like Yuta’s cheeks, it is comforting and secure, it is freeing in a way. Too much like something Yuta could imagine himself craving for the rest of his life.
And everything is bad in excess, even sweet things can go rancid, Yuta ought to know, he is the picture perfect definition of it.
“A fake one.”
--
or five times Nakamoto Yuta, rockstar extraordinaire, did not know what to do with himself, because the only person in this industry that is supposed to use him, his fake boyfriend, Nation's heartthrob, Johnny Suh, did the exact opposite and showed him love instead.

Summary
“Maybe you should get a degree in sports medicine, you know? Maybe then all the stubborn ones will start listening to you, myself included. You can only help so much, if we don't help ourselves, huh?”
Hope or something just as filling blooms across Iwaizumi’s chest, his fist connects with Sawamura’s arm with a slight shove to the motion, and Iwaizumi could admit to himself that the certainty in Sawamura’s voice, even when he spoke of probability, made Iwaizumi want to rest his heart on that willing, spread palm.
Alternatively, Sawamura Daichi has a penchant for getting himself injured and Iwaizumi Hajime finds a new purpose (and a new love) in the process of making himself helpful.

Summary
And there Daichi stands, broad shoulders concealing the point wherein the night bleeds into the sea, tinted in so many shades of dawn and reflecting so much light, with calloused fingers spread and palms facing upwards in a request neither of them have ever voiced, but have eagerly complied.
Close enough to touch, except that it isn’t enough.
Not anymore, though Kuroo cannot recall a moment when it had been, so he reaches out his own hand, and suddenly the concepts of near, close, almost and other phase transitions melt away, along with any hesitation that still lingers in the corner of his mind and the distance between them as Daichi draws him in.
Or professional volleyball player Kuroo Tetsurou (28) is robbed of his olympic dreams by his own overachieving tendencies, and in the recovery process of his injury, he learns that there is always a way forward, and that everything he has ever loved will make its way back to him.Written as part of the Kurodai Exchange 2021.
