    Summary

    That was a funny thing to sit with, to hold all bright and warm inside his chest. Yuma didn’t think anyone else would be able to tell. He was pretty sure no one knew that he went into every room conscious of where Nicholas was inside it. He didn’t think anyone could have noticed how much he liked it when Nicholas came over to him – he hadn’t noticed himself for so long.

    He thought Nicholas might know, though. Just from how Nicholas kept on doing it.

     

    -

    Or: By early 2025, Yuma and Nicholas haven't been on speaking terms for eight months.

    Summary

    Here’s the thing: they’ve done this before. Euijoo and Yuma. It’s not the first time Yuma drops to his knees in front of Euijoo, nor does he think this will be the last — it’s just … a lot. It always is. Euijoo is used to Nicholas’ rough hands and Yudai’s soft ones, years of forced proximity leading them places they probably shouldn’t have gone to begin with; including Fuma who might’ve came along a little later than the previous two, yet has touched Euijoo enough for it to be considered borderline normal by now.

    With Yuma, however, it’s different. Radically so.

    Summary

    Jo uses photography to capture the world, but nothing has ever caught his eye like Yuma, the enigmatic new student who keeps appearing across campus—and slowly, inside Jo’s life.


    “Why?” Yuma asks, his tone quieter now, but no less intense. “Why are you taking pictures of me?”

    Jo’s mind fractures into useless fragments. He thinks of light. Of the way Yuma’s presence seems to reorganize space. Of how his camera behaves like it recognizes him. None of this is explainable. None of it is admissible. He needs something small. Something survivable. What he produces instead is neither. “Because you’re… perfect.”

    Summary

    But now, pinned beneath him, breathless and aching, Soobin looks into Yeonjun’s eyes and sees something too familiar. It’s the same wild spark Yeonjun gets whenever he argues with Beomgyu, too intense, too feral, too charged. That unreadable look that always flashes across Yeonjun’s face when Beomgyu annoys him doesn’t seem to be just rage– no, it's clearly something more tangled, a weird mix of frustration and… lust.

    At that, Soobin finally understands that his boyfriend doesn’t just hate Beomgyu– he hates that he wants him.

    Once Soobin realises his boyfriend’s hostility towards their beautiful, new roommate is fueled less by anger and more by concealed, smoldering lust, he’s quick to turn the situation to his advantage and have some fun with it.

    Summary

    “There you go.” Harua muttered, “But I’m in.”

    “You are?” Yuma’s far too excited at the prospect of Harua accepting this slightly suspicious, no-thought-behind-it deal, practically climbing into his lap to wrap his arms around Harua’s neck like he was denied earlier. Harua could feel his excitement in the warmth of his cheeks against his own exposed shoulder, and he’d be lying if his heart wasn’t beaming at the thought of Yuma caring so much about his opinion.

    Harua nodded against Yuma’s head, “I am. Whatever you want, I’ll do it.”

    When Yuma approached Harua with a bet, he found himself agreeing despite his doubts. The reason was simple: Both of them wanted Nicholas, but only one of them could have him. Whoever won him over first would get to keep Nicholas all to themselves.

    Where was the harm in a little healthy competition?
