Summary
“If you fall in love with someone else, or I do, that’s okay because I know, in the end, you will always be in my life. Stray Kids or not. Understand?”
No, he wanted to say. Of course, he didn’t understand. Jisung didn’t want to be promised a nebulous someday in the same breath that Minho was telling him not to be afraid of falling for someone else. Those two things didn’t go together: he couldn’t continue to exist in a world where he might have to watch Minho find someone who will do a better job than Jisung at making him happy, only to have that promise that they’d always be together knocking around in the back of his mind. It was beyond cruel. It was torture.
Or...Jisung gets the emotional shit beat out of him. He survives.

Summary
Hyunjin could see this for what it was: punishment. Retribution for the way he’d pulverized Jeongin’s heart. His chest swelled at the idea. Maybe there was a way to earn forgiveness after all.

Summary
“We all have a tendency to sit in our own pain because we don’t want the conflict of expressing it.”
“Historically, those conversations haven’t gone well for us, hyung,” Jisung said, and Minho felt his words like a slap.
Chan reached out and took the younger’s hand. “I know,” he said. “But that’s part of the problem, yeah? We wait until things explode, and then we don’t wait around to talk it out.”
Or...they get their shit together. Mostly.

Summary
Chan had confessed to them months ago, and since then, he hadn’t pushed an inch. He’d been incredibly sweet and doted on them even more than he had before his confession, but he made sure that his overtures weren’t overly romantic. He well and truly wanted nothing more than their happiness. He’d protect them at all costs, even if that meant never getting what he really wanted.
It made Chan terribly hard not to love.
Or...A series of "firsts"
