Summary
Euijoo is here, just as Nicholas left him, and in the cloud-covered light of early summer, he looks more bronzed than he does golden. There’s no way to tell if he was ever golden at all, or if it was a trick of the light. Something Nicholas unfairly projected onto him.
Nicholas wants to know more. He’s weak to impulse and powerless against obsession. Euijoo sits snugly at the intersection of both.
(OR: Seven years after he ran away, Nicholas is forced to return to his hometown. Despite everything that's changed, he still finds himself inexplicably drawn to Byun Euijoo.)

Summary
Euijoo meets Nicholas in a bar on Manhattan Beach Pier during the 2021 International Surf Festival. Nicholas is lean, blonde, bounces off the walls and laughs loud. His voice is deeper than it should be and he’s got little to no game, but Euijoo sticks around anyway. Nicholas is built and he’s hot, his shirt tight across his shoulders, his hair wild around his ears. He’s bright like sunshine and his lips are sinful when they wrap around the neck of a beer bottle or the rim of a glass of coke.
Nicholas doesn’t live too far from the pier; they walk side by side on the beach, talking about LA. Euijoo’s accent seems to stick to the roof of his mouth, and he pushes his hands in the pockets of his boardshorts to keep himself from reaching out, feeling Nicholas’s pulse at his wrist, seeing if it beats as fast as he talks. Nicholas takes his sandals off, toes digging in the sand.
Nicholas says, suddenly, cutting through the random topics they’re fleeting on, “I don’t really do this,” which seems like a lie until he adds, “With guys, I mean.”
To love is to change. Euijoo and Nicholas change each other, over the course of 5 summers.

Summary
Before he could do it, Euijoo speaks up. “Have we met before?”
He retracts his hand that’s reaching to grab the white napkin by the plate to look at Euijoo. Nicholas is sure Euijoo has a face he won’t ever be able to forget if he’s seen it in passing or somewhere else. Beautiful smile, upturned lips, tanned skin that makes him look like he’ll probably make Nicholas sweat under the blanket if they’re pressed up against each other because he just seems to exude warmth.
“No.” Nicholas says, he’s never been more certain about anything in his life. “I don’t think so.”
“You look—” Euijoo trails off, “very familiar.”
“If this is a pickup line about how I’m the man of your dreams, I’m going to walk out of this restaurant right now, Euijoo.”

Summary
Kaveh pauses, wondering if he should take the out that’s being given to him. Swallows hard, because it would be so easy to end it right now — but then thinks about how much work he’s put into this. Thinks about how far he’s already gotten.
How much he wants it.
He’s wanted Alhaitham to take control for so long, but he hasn’t been able to ask — didn't know how to. But they're here now. What he wants is right in front of him, dangling like a prize.
He isn’t going to let the opportunity he’s manufactured go to waste.

Summary
“For you? One night,” Morax whispered, ghosting his breath over the side of Childe’s face before abruptly stepping back. Suddenly, Childe felt like he couldn’t stand and he leaned heavily onto the back of the chair.
The small man at the table wolf-whistled and Morax shot him a glare as he sat back down. “If I win our game, I get one night where I can do anything I want with you. If you win, you get all the cash on this table and a favor from any one of us."
That's a long excerpt just to say filthy public porn with mafia boss Zhongli and civilian bank employee Childe (who is a HUGE exhibitionist)
