The year he was fifteen, Park Jimin realized he was gay, and that he fell in love with a hot guy the same gender he was! Jimin spied on the other's online friend group, payed attention to that person's every move, and privately, started his fanatical fanboying actions. Unfortunately, the hot guy he liked was someone who changed girlfriends like he changed clothes, a pretentious and straight male.
A few years later, Jimin and the hot guy he was secretly in love with got into the same university and became good friends. In order to prevent his beloved from hating him, Jimin repressed his true feelings and forced himself to pretend to be a 24k, pure gold straight guy.

Having high-spec looks, Kim Taehyung was a networking expert, but in order to preserve his all-around shining and popular hearthrob image, he always hid his true sexuality, that he was gay. He got himself (fake) girlfriends all throughout school, literally playing himself into being branded as a skirt-chaser.
Until one day, he met his true love. The other looked delicate and gentle, cold and out-of-reach, as if the ideal lover he'd dreamed of in his heart.
Except, there was just one thing. That guy also looked completely straight......
In short, this is the love story of two scared, in-the-closet gay guys pretending to be straight while mutually trying to feel the other out.
Everything Special Has A Flaw
'I crossed your heart, husband, now it's time for you to take my name, only your husband's name,' I thought and smiled.
Taehyung and Yoongi bump into each other by chance at an airport lounge. Six months and many meetings later, they find themselves consumed by a 'once-in-a-lifetime' kind of love. Bored with their mundane routines, they decide to escape together and begin a new life somewhere far, far away. But on the day they are supposed to elope, Yoongi doesn't turn up, or respond to Taehyung's phone calls and messages. Just like that, he has vanished.
Days later, a grieving Taehyung stumbles upon his Instagram profile for the first time. He is shocked to realize that every post on it is a likely clue to the reality behind his disappearance.
Except, the more he unearths the meandering truth, the more he understands that there was much more to Yoongi than met the eye.
Which changes his perception of him. And the way he views love.
