Oh, dear god salvage his soul.

Summary
Seonghwa cups his hand out in an attempt to catch a snowflake but it proves to be quite difficult with Hongjoong standing in front of him and limiting his movement. While Seonghwa maneuvers his hand around, eyes wide with astonishment and lips stretched out in a small smile, Hongjoong keeps his gaze fixed on his friend.
“Star,” Hongjoong calls out to him as Seonghwa cries out triumphantly, “I caught one!”
Seonghwa excitedly holds his hand out to Hongjoong, “look!”
But Hongjoong would prefer to look at him.
--
Hongjoong has never been good with feelings or expressing himself; he's only ever wanted to convey it through music. So when he makes an unexpected friend in his repeat desk mate, proper and polite Park Seonghwa, he doesn't think the friendship will last.
Until it flourishes into something beyond his understanding and Hongjoong is faced with coming to terms with his feelings, working up the courage to confess, and then has to deal with the many oddballs life throws his way.

Summary
“Smell and emotion are stored as one memory.”
Smells are handled by the olfactory bulb, the structure in the front of the brain that sends information to the other areas of the body’s central command for further processing. Odors take a direct route to the limbic system, including the amygdala and the hippocampus, the regions related to emotion and memory.
- Harvard Gazette, 2020Hongjoong remembers their life together as a collection of smells.
Inspired by Why do You Love" - Hongjoong looks back on the relationship with Seonghwa through glimpses in time, wondering what went wrong and how he can fix it.

Summary
“You’re not actually nervous, are you?” Hongjoong asks. “You’ve done makeup in worse conditions. Remember the car ride to Incheon? No staff, zero lighting, potholes every five seconds.”
“That was survival,” Seonghwa replies without looking away from the mirror. “This is presentation.”
Hongjoong raises a brow. “Presentation?”
Seonghwa dips a finger into a pot of shimmer and gently taps it to the corner of his eye. “You made something for me. I want to do it justice.”
Hongjoong’s offer to design something custom for Seonghwa slowly unravels the threads holding their friendship in place.

Summary
Seonghwa has a life worked out just the way he likes it. He teaches middle school science (and loves it), he hangs out with his best friends San and Wooyoung at the cafe they own, and with those two major sources of chaos in his life, he definitely prefers a nice quiet personal life.
But when he has a chance meeting with idol Hongjoong at a fansign, he can’t deny there’s a spark between them. (Wooyoung, for his part, is more than happy to encourage this spark along.) Seonghwa doesn’t need the mess of trying to date an idol - really, he doesn’t - but that doesn’t change anything about just how attractive he finds Hongjoong.
And then Hongjoong has a niece who needs some tutoring after falling behind in school. Surely Seonghwa can help Hongjoong out while keeping his commitment to a mundane life and not letting his attraction turn into anything more, right?

Summary
Set in the early 2000’s in a small town.
Yunho has lived in this town all his life and chose to stay back, not entirely out of his own will but more so out of an obligation he placed on himself. He has a simple life, attends church, takes care of his parents and farm animals. He doesn’t expect to find himself drawn to the gas station worker.
Mingi wanted to run away from this damned town, as far away from his father as possible, but is stuck here working and living in a gas station. However, once he starts watching the church boy who passes by the station for mass on Sunday mornings, his life doesn’t seem so horrible anymore.
The two men find escape in each other, but it leaves Yunho choking on guilt, and Yunho’s guilt leaves Mingi resentful, like he's just some sin Yunho keeps committing and trying to wash off.

Summary
Yeosang follows a specific routine for dealing with difficult thoughts and emotions: hold it in, scream internally, and then email everything to the abandoned school account he discovered his sophomore year. It's a great emotional outlet for him, and the perfect place for him to confess all his deepest fears and the slight crush he has on his roommate's friend, Jongho.
The problem? The email account actually belongs to none other than Choi Jongho, who has no idea what to do with all the information he never asked to have.

Or, the one where Jongho is continuously stuck in a panic-to-gay-panic loop.Bookmarked by starcanopy
