    Summary

    Sieun knows that his parents just want him to move past it, to get over it, even if they won’t say it out loud. But there’s no moving past it—not as long as Suho stays like this. There’s nothing to propel him forward, nothing to knock him out of this equilibrium.

    In physics, terminal velocity is the maximum constant speed attainable by an object falling through a fluid. It occurs when the sum of the drag force and the buoyancy is equal to the downward force of gravity acting on the object. Once it has been reached, the object has zero acceleration.

    Sieun has been falling for a long, long time.

    Ahn Suho wakes up. They pick it up from there. (Or: Ahn Suho's cram school for one.)

    Summary

    "I can't stop you from trying to protect me. It's in your nature, and it's in mine too,” Sieun explains, “You're the unstoppable force and I'm the immovable object. We're going to keep doing this dance until one of us gets killed."

    Or, Suho is awake but at what cost?

    Summary

    Eddie’s brain is still stuck on the fact that it would, it would be Buck—if Buck was a woman, or if Eddie liked men, it would be Buck— “It doesn’t have to matter,” he says.

    “The fact that I’m in love with you?” Buck’s voice sounds raw and his eyes skip away.

    “No, Buck, the fact that I’m straight.” When Buck looks back at him, Eddie shrugs. “We could just not have sex.”

    “We’re already not having sex,” Buck points out.

    “No, I mean that we could date anyway.”

    Summary

    Buck’s not really sure what to say here, so he doesn’t say anything. For a minute they stand there in total silence, the TV muted, and looking at Eddie – the defeated slump of his shoulders, the hand over his mouth, the eyes staring blankly at nothing – it’s like those modern art installations one of Buck’s exes used to take him to: Man, with broken heart.

    Man, eviscerated.

    Buck’s no good with people being sad around him – it always feels like his responsibility, like if they aren’t smiling it’s his fault, and this time it really is his fault, at least partially, so he offers, “You can beat me up, if it would make you feel better.”
