And in the end, time slips away the only way it knows how - without apology. (One-shot)

Ryujin and Yeji are both in love- but not with each other. Ryujin, the team's rising rookie star, has her heart set on Lia, the school's golden girl and head cheerleader. Yeji, the no-nonsense manager of the school's basketball team, has been quietly in love with her childhood best friend, the team captain, Chaeryeong. But the cruel twist? Chaeryeong and Lia are in love with each other. Caught in a web of one-sided love and longing, Ryujin and Yeji find themselves drifting closer, not out of romance, but out of shared pain. ~ "You can think of me as Lia, and I'll think of you as Chaeryeong," Yeji says quietly, eyes locked on Ryujin. "No feelings involved." Ryujin nods. "Deal."

'What's... After Like?" is a reality tv show where contestants from all around the world are taken to one island to hopefully meet the loves of their lives and then win a grand prize at the end of the season with their partner. This season on 'What's... After Like?' they are taking a gay curve into the world of scissorhood and moving at the speed of light. Thirty contestants to start, one island. Only one contestant wasn't planned to be there. The contestants this season, known as Flames, are all well-known entertainment figures from around the world. But one Flame is an odd one out. After a contestant gets into an accident, causing them to forfeit their spot on the show, Shin Ryujin gets convinced to be her replacement by her famous roommate who is also attending. Shin Ryujin wasn't what you would call conventionally attractive... perhaps it was the fact that she only ever studied, never went out, had no friends, and doesn't take care of herself. Regardless, she hated the idea of being around people and having to sport bikinis for tv all summer. However, as the show progresses, she quickly realizes that not only is love as terrifying and annoying as she assumed it would be, it's also everything she didn't know she needed.

Two years later, they remain divorced but continue to co-parent their children and run a restaurant together. Though their relationship has become mainly platonic, unresolved emotions simmer beneath the surface. As Yeji begins to reclaim her life-managing grief, depression, and therapy-she learns Ryujin has started dating again. This revelation sparks something in her, and she rekindles an intimate connection with her. Their passionate reunion, however, isn't just physical-it ignites old wounds and emotional tension around grief, loss, trust, and forgiveness.
