Summary
Standing on the porch, watching the cruiser’s headlights disappear down the drive, Jihoon is hit, suddenly, by how isolated he is out here. He can just about spot the chimney spout of the next house over the Cherry tree grove, but that’s the only other living soul for miles, and God knows what the nearby town holds.
One grocery store, if he’s lucky. A post office, maybe. A police station because where else will Officer Split Personality Choi Seungcheol spend his days confusing people. There might be a coffee shop too, but Jihoon doubts he’ll be getting his Americano there. It’ll just be that freeze-dried shit in a Styrofoam cup, and some serious stink-eye if you think you’re getting anything different.
God, what was he thinking coming out here?

Summary
“Alright. I’m listening. Pitch it to me.”
Jin-ho grins, tossing aside his crumbled-up coaster in favour of his beer. “I have a potential client who needs round the clock protection for his son, but my men are a thin on the ground right now, and I don’t want to just put anyone in there. I need someone I can trust.”
Seungcheol grimaces, running his thumb along the condensation on the side of his bottle.
“I don’t think I’d be very good with kids.”“He’s not a kid. He’s actually a very mature, very responsible twenty-five-year-old. A little spoilt, I won’t lie, but he’s also quiet, smart, and more than pulls his weight when it comes to the family business. He doesn’t go out looking for trouble.”
“What does he need a bodyguard for then?”
Jin-ho looks up briefly, and then away. It isn’t like him to be skittish. “He’s an unbonded Omega.”
Seungcheol curls his lip, nodding, “Ah, so Daddy’s worried about the wrong kind of Alpha sniffing about.”
He supposes that makes sense; a sensible investment if you've got the money. Except...what the hell made Jin-ho think he’d be the right kind?”

Summary
Both Wooyoung and San hate being adults.
All Wooyoung needs in life is a few days of rest away from the restaurant where he's being overworked by his boss Hongjoong, that nice pair of shoes he saw on Instagram, at least one night where he won't have nightmares of his best friend Yeosang eating him alive, and a break from this complicated situation with his ex-boyfriend Yeonjun.
All San needs in life is to have one day where he won't feel like doing a bad job as a father while he tries to take care of his little girl alone, one entire week to spend some time by himself just lifting weights, sunbathing and eating meat, maybe a month or a year to figure out what he should do about his ex-wife and the pressure his parents put on him and probably a lifetime to figure out what he should do with his future.
But what do they get instead? Some sort of friendship where all boundaries between platonic and romantic are blurred as feelings grow and all the flirtatious jokes start to have a hint of truth to them.
"A little flirting never killed anyone", they said. Well Wooyoung and San might not be dead. But they're certainly fucked.
