Shepherd is incorrigible. He lies to his parents, sells drugs to his classmates, and is leading on his cousin, Elise, who has an unrequited crush on him. He's a manipulator and takes pleasure in every bit of it. But when his deceptions are unearthed, he's shunned at school and ousted by his parents. He has no idea who betrayed him, and this uncertainty fuels his paranoia and ignites a sordid affair with Elise, his only ally. Retribution becomes an obsession. And as he tracks down the person who stabbed him in the back, his feelings for her deepen. Conversely, Elise begins questioning her loyalty to Shepherd, his reckless behaviour taking a toll on their bond. The unforgivable occurs, and both must decide whether to stick with their toxic patterns or change for the betterment of their relationship... of course, only if their family doesn't find out that they're sleeping together.

Seventeen-year-old Winter Chu has seen it all. Shrivelling sleep schedules, diets, his picture perfect mentor's booger, a fat zero in maths. You name it, he has seen it. Or that's what he likes to believe. Exactly why Winter cannot fathom how he failed to see how he could go from walking shoulder to shoulder with his best friend - scratch that, his ex-best friend - on the busy streets of Seoul while playfully burlesquing their mentor to running away from said best friend in the span of a single day. Or, how on the same day, he ended up moving in with three other kids who were as confused as him in a dorm that was whipped out by the mentor he had just burlesqued. Fast forward two years and Winter has made countless decisions in the span of it, some good and some equally bad. Bad being: completely erasing Liu Xuejun, his ex-best friend and everything that had to do with him from his life. So when Xuejun, now a rising star, slips back into his messy life from the shadows of busking crowds and in old sauna rooms, Winter has no choice but to go with the slippery flow. Even when his own debut is right around the corner. Even when his heart beats the wrong way for Xuejun every single time. Even when he knows none of this is a good idea. Listen, dreams are tricky things. But you know what, so are friendships. - rankings - #36 nanowrimo 17.03.2022 #36 talkthepoc 17.03.2022
