    cheap shot: a critical statement that takes unfair advantage of a known weakness of the target.

    Summary

    “You're new,” Jisung proclaims.

    Minho snorts. “Am I?”

    “Well, I've never seen you here before.”

    “Because you know all of their wedding guests?”

    Jisung has to laugh. “I know most of Hyunjin’s side,” he says.

    “Well obviously I’m a friend of Seungmin’s.”

    Jisung pauses to stare, eyes narrowing with curiosity. “Yeah,” he plays along. “But you’re new.”

    Minho chuckles. “You keep saying that. What does that mean?”

    “I mean that you’re new. Here. Today. New. I’ve experienced this wedding over thirty times now and—” his breath hitches because he really just said that out loud, but there’s an immediate flicker in Minho’s eyes that has him exhaling with relief.

    “Oh. Well.”
     

    alternatively: In which Jisung gets stuck repeating the day when his best friend gets married, only to meet a brand new friendly face a month into the grueling experience.

    Summary

    "Are you still nervous?" Minho asks, retaining that addictive nonchalance to his voice.

    Jisung releases a pathetic little laugh between his gritting teeth. “Yeah,” he breathes out. “Just a little bit.”

    "Let me smoke you out, then."

    Jisung makes the mistake of letting his curious gaze wander, allowing a mesmerized "How?" to escape him. He's done the moment their eyes meet, because then Minho's taking Jisung's jaw in his hand while the other holds what's left of his blunt, dark eyes trailing down to the lips he wants to coax apart.

    "Open for me."

    Shotgunning: the practice of inhaling smoke and then exhaling it into another individual's mouth.

    Summary

    On mornings like this, where the light of day is barely creeping over the horizon and the heat of the room can’t seep through the thin layer of his skin as easily as the day before, Joo-won isn't sure why he's still here. Trapped, as Kwon Hyuk would say, in this little lodge town at the top of a mountain in Gangwon-do.

    After everything he's done, everything that's been dug up by his once clean hands. In the ugly face of all the truths that have been sprinkled around him like fresh snow, the kind he used to despise with his entire being for the way it would cling to his hair and coat. Joo-won doesn't know why his boots are stuck, frozen in place.

    Then Dong-sik, sleep-deprived, weary, but finally at peace and undoubtedly happy, catches his eye again. This time their gazes meet. The man smiles at Joo-won from across the rescue station table while sipping too-hot coffee, and Joo-won is reminded.

    Summary

    Once Jisung presented as a beta, everyone in the pack was surprised that he had such a complex smell, but of course, Minho had already known. And he couldn’t lie saying he didn’t feel a power rush when Jisung’s actual scent turned out to be just like he’d expected, a perfect match to the mocha marzipan scent of his voice that he had loved for so many years.

    […] and now Minho had the matching image to complement his whole Jisung experience; the colour of Jisung’s scent, a gorgeous golden-brown and red cloud around him. It was just as pretty as Jisung’s voice, just as precious as Jisung’s smile… and Minho’s mind was quick to supply that Jisung’s colours complemented his own caramelised-candied apple scent.

    It had been an instant switch inside him as soon as he saw Jisung after the boy presented. Minho’s alpha craved the beta, screamed at Minho that he smelled and looked so perfect because he was his true mate.

    But true mates were rare enough to be considered more myth than reality, and Jisung…

    Jisung didn't want an alpha.
