Summary
In a world where dominance of the sea is an endless battle between pirates and mariners, Park Jimin is content living in his little village on a small, uninteresting island by the eastern mainland. He wants nothing to do with the bloodshed of good and evil, the heartless killing of both innocents and condemned, the constant establishment and disruption of order. What he wants is peace, to live his life in the same town he was born in, to spend his days in the beautiful forest, and to use the powers of his Blessed Rune to nurture the home he loves so dearly.
But when his island is attacked by pirates, Jimin will have no other choice than to do as they command and leave all thoughts of peace behind in favor of boarding the Agust, a pirate ship captained by the infamous Min Yoongi, Black Fox of the East.
Note: information about sequels available in epilogue author's notes.

Summary
Chan's life is simple: he runs errands, lives on the road and avoids zombies (mostly) at all costs. He likes his life that way, likes the solitude, likes the peace he has.
And then suddenly his peace is broken as he gets a bunch of headache-inducing roadtrip buddies and looped into revenge plots he didn't even dare to dream of.
Or: Chan is about to leave the safety of Base 41 to run some errands. Lee Minho decides to sit on the passenger seat of his car with no intentions of letting Chan go without him.

Summary
“You’re like the hottest guy in school.”
“Taehyun,” Beomgyu whispered. “Why do you know who the hottest guy in school is?”
“Because it’s you," Taehyun said, with his voice also hushed, like it was the most obvious thing in the world to him.
Beomgyu’s metal band is his entire life. And Beomgyu knows the perfect guy to fill in after their singer quits… and it doesn’t hurt that Beomgyu has sort of been in love with him for 3 years straight. His pick— Kang Taehyun— is the student council president, captain of the track team, the lead of every school musical, and all around one of the most popular guys in the student body. He’s the perfect poster boy of academic and social bliss…And he doesn’t even like it.
Maybe what Taehyun actually likes is heavy music, singing his heart out, and a boy with shoulder length hair who doesn’t seem to care what anyone else in the world thinks of him.

Summary
"Jaemin Na?" Minjeong says. “My friend said once she was in the Engineering hall computer lab after hours, and she saw Jaemin Na baby-talking into thin air, like there was someone invisible in front of him."
Yizhuo nods conspiratorially, and lowers her voice to a whisper. "I heard if you go to the library at 11 PM while holding a 100% sugar no-ice Taro milk tea from Gong Cha, and whisper his name three times in a row, he appears."
"Okay," Renjun laughs. "You guys are making him sound like an urban legend, or something. He’s just some dude."
"Wow," Haechan says, gleefully. "I always knew you were a bit of a conspiracy theorist, but I had no idea you would go so far as to fuck our local campus cryptid."
(Or: Renjun hooks up with Jaemin Na, who is not-a-cryptid but is also not-not-a-cryptid, and it all spirals from there.)

Summary
When he opened the door, he thought that he should have known. He should have known that the person who disrupted his Sunday morning was no other than the bane of his existence: Choi Beomgyu from next door.
“Oh no, it’s you,” was the first thing Beomgyu said. Which, first of all: rude. Second of all: mutual.***
Taehyun has the most annoying neighbor ever to exist. It could almost be okay, but the other neighbor, Soobin, starts fake-dating his own flatmate, Yeonjun, forcing all of them to be together all the time. He thinks he'll kill Beomgyu, eventually. It goes very differently.

Summary
If you had told Mark on his first day of summer school music class that he’d eventually live with the guy who hated him, he would’ve just ignored you and said, “okay man, cool, whatever”.
But here they are, in their apartment, with the rules unwritten because they already understand each other so well.
And it feels like things could never feel as right as they are now.

“Oh, no, forgive me, I’m—” Jaemin paused, “—not from around here.”
“Yes,” Renjun raised his eyebrows as he really took in what Jaemin was wearing. Garb unlike any he’d ever seen, gaze faltering for a fraction of a second on his chaps, “that would appear to be the case.”

Summary
Huang Renjun has always thought of himself as a good cook. But when his (in)famous hangover soup lands Jeno in the hospital, Donghyuck forcibly enrolls him in cooking classes, ‘for the sake of our health and safety’. Or whatever.
Renjun sticks with it – partly for his friends’ wellbeing, but mostly because Chef Nana is really, really, hot.

Summary
“Are you familiar with someone by the name of The Janitor ?”
And just like that, every ounce of hope nestled in Renjun’s chest dissipates.
“You’re kidding me,” he deadpans.
“No, no… I think I know what he means,” Donghyuck says, draping himself all over the greasy table — Jesus, has no one else here heard of self-preservation? “I’ve heard of him before. Dude advertises himself as the answer to every problem, right? No questions asked?”
Jisung nods. “That’s right. It comes at a price, depending on your issue. I can arrange a meeting if you’re interested.”
Renjun leans back in his chair, processing his words. The smart thing to do would be to wait, maybe ask around and get more info on this janitor guy, but that’s time Renjun simply doesn’t have, so it seems rather sensible when he locks eyes with Jisung to confirm the meeting, “Set it up.”

Summary
"A normal secret admirer would leave some kind of clues about their identity or write love letters or something, right?”
“Why are you asking me? I’m hardly that kind of romantic,” Minho scoffs.
He’s such a liar. Seungmin feels so fond of him, his least transparent hyung who still manages to be so, so obvious. Seungmin’s seen him flirt before; Seungmin knows about his soft spot for romantic dramas. He’s definitely at least a little bit romantic.
“Sure, hyung,” Seungmin agrees blandly. “But my secret admirer hasn’t done any of that. They don’t even leave notes half of the time, and they only give me things that are convenient. I bet they’re the one who filed all of the paperwork.”
“So, what, you think they’re doing these things for you just to do them?” Minho asks, quickening his pace as the two of them pass the campus gates, heading straight towards the nearest subway stop. “What kind of fool would spend that much time and money on you for nothing in return?”Bookmarked by straengest

Summary
“So, how long have the two of you been dating?” The psychologist clasps her hands in front of her.
“Two years,” Renjun says, right as Jaemin answers confidently, “Three years.” Goddamnit.
“Three years,” Renjun amends his answer as he smiles politely at the psychologist. And because the universe hates him, Jaemin changes his answer at the same time, “Two years.”
(Alternatively; out of all the crazy things that Renjun has ever done, going for couples therapy with a stranger definitely tops the list.)

Summary
It goes without saying that they have to set a few baseline rules.
- No outright asking if Jeno is a dog or a human, or anything of the sort. (For fairness.)
- No more than one question per person per day. (To avoid suspicion.)
- No speaking about the bet when Renjun’s around, and no texting about it, either. (For plausible deniability.)
- No invading Renjun’s privacy—any information should be voluntarily and knowingly given. (Jaemin vehemently tries to protest this one, and is overruled.)
Or: The residents at the Neo Tech Medical Center play a game of dog or husband. It goes about as well as one would expect.

Falling in love isn't always a steep dive; sometimes falling in love happens slowly, gradually, comfortably, and you don't really realise until you're right there at the bottom. And if you're lucky enough, you find that you didn't fall alone.

“No parents,” Minho echoes, and then his heart trips once in his chest. That had been the point—that he’d be able to drive Jisung this summer, for once with neither of them sitting in the backseat of one of their parent’s cars—but now that the thought sinks in, his mind is wandering places it shouldn’t be.
He and Jisung have always been close. It’s just…
(They’ve already spent numerous summers together as the best of friends and thickest of thieves. Maybe, though, this summer will be the one Minho finally confesses.)- Language:
