Seventeen-year-old Winter Chu has seen it all. Shrivelling sleep schedules, diets, his picture perfect mentor's booger, a fat zero in maths. You name it, he has seen it. Or that's what he likes to believe.
Exactly why Winter cannot fathom how he failed to see how he could go from walking shoulder to shoulder with his best friend - scratch that, his ex-best friend - on the busy streets of Seoul while playfully burlesquing their mentor to running away from said best friend in the span of a single day. Or, how on the same day, he ended up moving in with three other kids who were as confused as him in a dorm that was whipped out by the mentor he had just burlesqued.
Fast forward two years and Winter has made countless decisions in the span of it, some good and some equally bad. Bad being: completely erasing Liu Xuejun, his ex-best friend and everything that had to do with him from his life.
So when Xuejun, now a rising star, slips back into his messy life from the shadows of busking crowds and in old sauna rooms, Winter has no choice but to go with the slippery flow. Even when his own debut is right around the corner. Even when his heart beats the wrong way for Xuejun every single time. Even when he knows none of this is a good idea.
Listen, dreams are tricky things. But you know what, so are friendships.

In the birds' nest • woosan
[complete] "My little birds deserve only the best" it's with a promise that it starts: a promise of safety against the violence of the world, the hunger, the loneliness and the poverty. Just like a little bird, as long as you stay in The Nest nothing from outside will hurt you and Wooyoung belives it. But what to do when the most scary monsters come from the inside? Who will protect you then? "For a moment, San just stood there, watching him. In the dim light, Wooyoung looked peaceful, a stark contrast to the chaotic energy he had been radiating at the club just hours before. But as San gazed at him, a shadow of unease crossed his mind. San wondered if he was trying to drown out something, bury it under layers of noise and intoxication. It was in the way Wooyoung's smile never quite reached his eyes, the way his laughter sometimes faltered, as though the weight of whatever haunted him was too heavy to ignore, even for a moment. He didn't know what Wooyoung was running from, but he could feel the darkness lurking beneath the surface, the shadows of whatever had hurt him. San wanted to help, to reach out, but tonight wasn't the time. For now, all he could do was make sure Wooyoung was safe and comfortable." • ☾ 21+ content, this is the angstest story I've ever written and it contains very triggering topics as self-harm, sexual abuse, underage, physical and psychological violence.

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. ......

How Could I Ever [SunSun] ✓
[Book 1/2] Ever since Sunoo first laid eyes on Sunghoon, all he wanted to do was be close to him, but he can barely even look him in the eyes. So, when Sunghoon announced he'd be leaving to go through his senior year in Russia to focus more on figure skating, Sunoo was beyond disappointed. He decided that the last day of school he'd come forth with his feelings, and when he did, there wasn't an answer of any kind. After 2 years, Sunoo graduated, but took a break year so he could start college with his best friend. He was excited to start this new chapter in his life and leave everything-including his lingering feelings-behind. That excitement slowly faded as soon as he walked into his dance class and saw the person he thought he'd never see again, the person who left his feelings hanging. No matter how many times he tried to convince himself that he didn't have any more feelings for Sunghoon, it never worked. Every time he tried to move on again, something would happen to make him fall harder than before. In his desperation to get rid of Sunghoon, he didn't even realize the way he's always looked at him, and how badly he wanted to be close to Sunoo as well. ~ Started: 2023, 01/29 Ended: 2023, 07/26 ~ #1 - figureskating (2023/10/22) #1 - sunsun (2023/06/28) #56 - dance (2023/07/08) #13 - heesung (2023/07/20) #22 - riki (2023/10/22) #9 - heeki (2023/12/7)Complete
