Summary
It started to become common knowledge among them—spend enough time around Lee Donghyuck and one way or another, come hell or high water, you walk away with a piece of your heart invariably missing.
He thinks back to then, and regrets not taking the others’ warnings seriously enough.
Because if there’s one thing any SM trainee knows, it’s that Lee Donghyuck has never given anybody a second glance, always armed ready with an apologetic grin and an empathetic, ‘I’m sorry, but I’m interested in someone else.’
(Or: Sungchan walks out of his first official practice with flushed cheeks, the soft echo of melodic laughter ringing in his ears, and the beginnings of what he knows is going to be a heartbreaking crush on NCT’s resident troublemaker.)

Summary
“One day, Donghyuck, you’re going to find someone,” his mother used to say, back when he was a kid. “And they're going to need you and your powers just as much as you’ll need them.”
(Soulmates, it turns out, work a little differently when you have superpowers. It’s common knowledge growing up, the fact that your soulmate’s abilities are meant to be complementary to your own. Sometimes, it’s obvious.
Most of the time though, as Donghyuck comes to learn, it isn’t always so cut and dry.)

Summary
You see, past a few rumors here and there, nobody really knew anything about Professor Kim’s private life—no fun anecdotes from home, or about his family. No mention of kids, or even of a significant other.
(It takes almost a whole semester of online learning, a few accidental cameos, and more than a handful of technical difficulties for the class to find out that Dr. Kim Doyoung from the neuroscience department was not only unavailable, but that he was also off the market for good.)

Summary
See, the thing about watching Mark Lee when he’s working is that it’s nearly impossible to tear your eyes away once he gets into his element.
Donghyuck’s no stranger to watching him, of course. It’s only been less than a year since Mark had joined his agency, but even then, he's already familiarized himself with the way Mark turns it on for the camera—critical eyes following every articulated pose, every minute turn of Mark's head, and every shift in Mark's expression as he follows the photographer's directions.

Summary
And here lies Lee Donghyuck; a melody that shakes and trembles like a man who witnessed murder by his own hands.
Because isn’t that what it is, in the end? Donghyuck dies in Mark’s arms every night, and no matter how many times the morning digs him back up, the brand of Mark’s touch never fades. It only extends an invitation for another death, and Donghyuck—addicted and so in love, RSVPs again and again.

Summary
Donghyuck laughs softly, the song of a mockingbird announcing the arrival of spring, the war trumpets preceding the battle, “I’m just curious about what you’d do if I told you ‘bout the things I fantasize about doing to you."

Summary
Donghyuck twists until he’s lying on top of Mark. He touches the hard line of Mark’s jaw and says, “I think you should be on my channel more.”
Mark’s smile grows. He closes his eyes and they kiss and it’s sort of perfect. They kiss again, just for good measure, and then Mark is whispering something soft and sweet in Donghyuck’s ear and Donghyuck forgets about the YouTube algorithm and missed Vlogmas opportunities and all the cracks in his broken heart. He forgets about everything that isn’t Mark.
(Alternatively: turns out love can survive blizzards and pandemics and even terribly made gingerbread cookies.)
