Summary
He had spent many weeks, months even, thinking about his feelings and what they meant, but he hadn’t been able to come up with a word to describe it yet. Perhaps one day he would, and then he could finally become Minho’s -
“Ah, lover!” Minho exclaimed happily, making Seungmin choke on his coffee, his eyes wide.
Or, Seungmin and Minho solve crosswords together on a Sunday morning when Seungmin realizes what love is.

taste profile is a cup of coffee in the morning, watering your peace lily while trying to wake up your body, parallel play, seeing and understanding more than anyone else ever has, rose hip tea and bergamot

Summary
When Minho went to buy groceries, he saw Jisung’s face on the cover of a magazine at checkout. Hands shaking, he picked it up. It was their newest issue. Jisung’s face was smooth, flawless. He looked perfect. He looked like a stranger. Minho was filled with the sudden urge to cry. He didn’t.
If Minho had to describe Jisung in one page, nothing in the magazine would’ve made the cut. Jisung was a force of nature. He was the storm and the sun after rain. He was stubborn and wonderful and kind. Minho loved him still and knew at that moment that he always would — in silence, in loneliness, through phone and TV screens.
My superstar, he thought, and tried to smile even as it felt like his heart was breaking all over again. Mine, and everyone else’s.

Summary
"Because, Kim Seungmin," Minho leans even closer, voice dropping an octave, "I need this marriage, and I think…it might help you too."
"Yeah?" Seungmin hates that it comes out more uncertain than cutting. Hates their sudden proximity, the distinctly floral scent of Minho's cologne, the unbuttoned top-button of Minho's dress shirt, the glimpse of chiselled clavicle beneath it.
Kim Seungmin is a lot of things: mid-tier romance novelist, youngest son of a chaebol family, begrudging liker of sushi restaurants. What he is not, is in love with his husband.

Summary
“What,” Chairman Lee huffs, looking between the two of them with eyes narrowed in suspicion. “You two are dating, aren’t you? That’s why Minho won’t go on any of these blind dates?”
Before Minho can respond to that, Seungmin cuts in. “With all due respect, Chairman, I’m not gay.” His gaze flicks over to Minho, and Minho catches just the faintest glint of mirth in his eyes before Seungmin opens his big mouth again. “And if I was, the president would not be my type at all.”

Summary
“This place should be condemned,” Minho says, peering around at the rotted crown moldings and water-damaged floorboards.
“But you can fix it, right? Make it better again?” He doesn’t want to go through a lengthy interview process or to juggle multiple contractors tackling multiple parts of the house. He just wants one person with the patience and expertise to fix everything that’s broken.
Minho looks at him meaningfully. “I can fix anything,” he says.
Seungmin hires him on the spot.
