Summary
“Sungchan likes men?” Eunseok finds himself asking abruptly—Not that he cares about the topic of whether or not the bane of his existence prefers male company. It’s just…Sungchan seemed so straight-laced. Typical woman loving, shitty cheap beer drinking, gym rat, ivy league collegiate athlete.
Vicky nearly chokes on her dinner before waving her hands in front of her face. She shakes her head and clears her throat before clarifying, “No, see–there’s a difference between liking someone and having a, as Matthew put it, hate-boner. Though…he could just be repressed. You know what they say about the line between love and hate.”

Summary
“Sion-ssi, Riku-ssi,” she says very, very slowly. “I know that you are still training for debut, but with your cycles coming up-” she passes over a booklet- “we have decided that the best course of action was for you two to start sharing heats and ruts.”
Sion stares down at the paper in his hand. SHARING CYCLES WITH BANDMATES, it says. THE DO’S AND DON’TS. There’s a little SM logo on the top left that lets Sion know that this is not, in fact, some practical joke, but very, very frighteningly real.
Sion looks over at Riku, who has gone pale.
Oh, shit.
“This-” he says slowly. “This can’t-”
“It’s standard procedure for bandmates,” she says, cutting him off. “This is what we do for everyone. It’s to minimize scandal, yes? Minimize cycle sharing outside the pack, yes?” She smiles. “You two are the only presented members in your group. This is protocol.”

Sion, the new leader of NCT's new unit, has a lot on his plate. But being ordered to share cycles with his bandmate who can't even look him in the eyes is something entirely different.
But the order comes from the company, and they both have to obey. He has a new rut partner and his name is Maeda Riku.

Summary
As far as favours went, this one was an easy one – help Riki’s friend from his dance club pass his first year biology course. Jake could do it in his sleep. He scans the library, realizing belatedly that Riki’s description of you’ll know him when you see him was entirely untrue, because Jake had no idea which one of these studying students was expecting him here ten minutes ago. His eyes land on a guy, sitting alone at a table without so much as a pencil in front of him, and –
Huh. He doesn't look like a freshman.
He looks a lot like Heeseung Lee, actually.
Or, Jake isn't anything like the girls Heeseung normally goes for, but he's starting to think he might want him anyway.

Summary
Because maybe his date would have gone fine – maybe all of his dates would have gone fine – if he didn’t have to start them off with one big, off-putting disclaimer.
Yeah, so, by the way, I live with my ex, because neither of us can afford to move out and even if we could, we can’t break our lease and lose our damage deposit. He sleeps in the room next to mine, so if you come home with me he’ll hear everything we do, and you will run into him the next morning, because he doesn’t have a job right now and he’s always around.
So. Suffice it to say, Sunoo hasn’t had a date end well – that is, with him getting railed on the cheap mattress he’d ordered the day after he and Heeseung broke up – since he’d put himself back on the market.
Or, Sunoo tries to move forward and move on. The path forward ends up being more cyclical than he'd like it to be.

Summary
The invitation caught Eunseok's eye immediately when he finally bothered leafing through his pile of mail. A large envelope of thick, creamy paper with a gilded crest in the shape of a stylized plum flower — the symbol of the royal family. He cracked open the wax seal and slid out the card, eyes drawn to the picture at the top, a formal portrait of a teenage boy in grey hanbok.
The accompanying text read: "You are cordially invited to join us in the Blue Palace for a special homecoming celebration in honour of our beloved Crown Prince Chanyoung. Having completed a bachelor's degree at Berklee College of Music with superior academic achievement, His Royal Highness wishes to demonstrate his skill and learning with a set of compositions to all lovers of music."
The love story of Eunseok, a violinist with a prestigious orchestra, and Anton, the classical music-loving crown prince of South Korea.
