    Summary

    There's nothing Soobin despises more than working at Kang's Discs. Sure, the paycheck is nice and it gives him something to do in the afternoons, but the rock music blasting through the shitty speakers all day keeps him on edge at all times. Add Yeonjun to the mix - a rock enthusiast with black hair and green highlights that goes to the store everyday and leaves chewed gums underneath the shelves with his favorite albums - and you have the perfect combination to make Soobin turn into a ticking time bomb. The explosion was inevitable, expected even.

    Everything after?
    Definitely NOT what Soobin expected.

    Summary

    The last son of his bloodline, the legacy of Choi Yeonjun's family rests on his shoulders. Determined to do anything to keep him alive in the face of drought and war, Yeonjun's uncle hides him from the draft by disguising him as a daughter. But as the pressures of starvation become too great to ignore, the family caves to the wishes of a strange man, a beautiful suitor from nowhere desiring Yeonjun's hand in marriage. Whisked away into a wild realm of magic, Yeonjun discovers that the world he knew is ruled not by kings and queens, but the powerful hands of conjurers and the deities they serve. And one deity in particular has staked an irrefutable claim on him, one he cannot unlock the full potential of alone. With his fate inexplicably tied to the one person who can help him, Yeonjun has the choice to exchange freedom for power, casting himself as a pawn in a game of deception played by the gods and puppets of mages they command on strings.

    Summary

    "The bloodless spirits wept as he spoke, accompanying his words with the music. Tantalus did not reach for the ever-retreating water: Ixion’s wheel was stilled: the vultures did not pluck at Tityus’s liver: the Belides, the daughters of Danaüs, left their water jars: and you, Sisyphus, perched there, on your rock. Then they say, for the first time, the faces of the Furies were wet with tears, won over by his song: the king of the deep, and his royal bride, could not bear to refuse his prayer, and called for Eurydice."

    Summary

    Every time Soobin has his eyes on him, Yeonjun feels like he’s made out of a thin, opalescent glass. Completely fucking transparent. The waves crash behind them, in and out, whoops and hollers of rowdy youth, the heat radiating off the fire, suffocating. Soobin’s eyes look right through him.

    He can feel his heartbeat, strong and fast against his ribcage.

    Another lollipop.

    A moment of silence, and then, “What flavor?”

    He watches the flames lick up the logs in the pit, slowly eating away at their casing.

    “Strawberry.”

    (OR: Yeonjun is forced back into his hometown after being kicked out of university and a brief stint in rehab only to find that the boy he used to bully in high school grew up into everything he's ever needed)

Little does he know that after meeting Taehyun, a year full of adventures, birthdays, and the tragedy of growing up would follow. And what more can Yeonjun ask for than the comfort of a certain star-loving boy called Soobin, who is able to find the beauty in even the dimmest star of the sky.

    Or: Follow the story of Yeonjun and his four friends on their journey of Coming of Age, inspired by 0x1=Lovesong and Lo$er=Lo♡er.
