    Summary

    The night was a complete success. At around eleven p.m., Seungmin was half-asleep on his couch, a sad, sad drama on in the background, the rain getting heavier, and the wine half-finished.
    And then the ringbell rang.

    “Min, open, please-”

    Seungmin stopped in his tracks.
    It couldn’t be.
    ---
    He looked semi-drowned, his hair down with the weight of the storm outside, his clothes dark and wet, a duffel bag in hand that looked like it was heavier than the weight of their past, his glasses full of droplets he had no place to dry on.

    “Changbin,” Seungmin whispered at the ghost in his door.

    It felt like blowing out the dust of a forgotten photo album. It felt like opening an old book that you had loved when you were younger and stupid.

    Summary

    “The reason why I was particularly upset was because, for the longest time, I’ve had this strong urge to… take care of you. And when I felt like I failed, it made me upset.”

    Chan tilts his head in confusion, eyebrows scrunching. “Huh?”

    “Hyung,” Jeongin says, slowly, despite the nervous flutter in his stomach. “I want to dominate you.”

    -

    Chan is not taking care of himself. Jeongin can't take it anymore.

    Summary

    It's a different phase of life, raising a teenager. You find yourself with a bit more free time than you had when they were little. Some people use that time to focus on their hobbies, others to re-connect with their spouse...or, if you're Suwa Rei, you might find yourself with just enough time on your hands to have a tiny bit of a long-overdue breakdown.

    Summary

    He wasn’t sure when it had started; not the whole Chan hugging him from the back, he supposed that had always been there; what he wasn’t sure about was when it had started to make him feel like all of his nerve endings were awakened and his blood rushed to make his toes tingle.

    Or: Jisung is a bit touch-starved, that's the only reason he's popping a boner each time Chan backhugs him.
