Summary
“No. I’m, uh—I’m picking up my sister,” he says, motioning pointlessly towards the practice room. “I can’t dance.”
The guy’s mouth lifts at one side. “Anyone can dance,” he says, and the words come out sounding almost like a challenge.
At the end of 1985, San comes back from his studies abroad to spend a month with his family, at a ski resort in Gangwon-do. There, he meets a dance instructor.

Summary
On day three, it’s as simple as if Wooyoung has been doing it for years.
A little seductive smile and cornering San where he willingly goes, then placing a single kiss on his neck before Wooyoung bites in, drinking his fill. A hum for each of San’s whines, a steadying hand on his shoulders. Pulling away just before it’s enough, meeting San’s gaze, and staring into his dark eyes until Wooyoung can stand up and know the other man won’t remember any of this.
Wooyoung is a starved and lonely vampire. San is the stranger he lets inside his house in a storm.

Summary
There are five new players on their squad this season—they’ve discussed the changes before their break, once management finalised all the transfers. There’d been no mention of a Wooyoung.
“Which Wooyoung? Jung Wooyoung? From Gimpo FC?”
“That’s the one.”
Though he tries to be rational about the news, San can’t stop the feeling in his stomach—like a pit opening up, full of dread and a whole other kind of nerves. They make his breath catch, his skin feels like it’s crawling with spiders. Because, if San is the golden boy of his team, the striker that has almost brought Ulsan a victory, Jung Wooyoung is the striker who finished last season with a trophy.
It’s one of the many differences between them.
After Wooyoung joins Ulsan KQ, San’s whole life turns upside down.

Summary
“Maybe it’s because you were sick in May,” Seonghwa says. “You’re still recovering.”
“A flu can’t strip your powers, hyung.”
“Maybe there’s another witch in Namhae?” he tries. “Your powers might be clashing.”
“Nah.” Wooyoung takes a sip, swallows it, and lets the bitterness burn down his throat. “I think it’s because of San.”
“Oh.” Seonghwa’s eyes widen. “Because you—”
“Because I’ve known about his crush for years,” Wooyoung says, “and I’ve ignored it. I haven’t helped him, hyung. That’s a pretty shitty thing to do.”
Or, the one where Wooyoung is a love witch settled in Namhae, living above the Chois’ taekwondo studio.

Summary
“At least I didn’t spill my heart to a complete stranger, who I kept bound in a room,” San snorted.
Wooyoung shrugged. “You know my name, I know yours, and we shared a meal. Well. I tried to share it, anyway. We’re not strangers anymore.”
“Sure, we’re almost best friends,” San rolled his eyes. “Chatting on your floor. Oh, by the way I think the splinters have already built a home in my ass. And you're pretending we both don’t know there’s still an order with my name on it to deliver your head on a silver platter.”
Wooyoung stood up slowly, brushing off his knees.
“If you were truly convinced that was the right thing to do, you’d already be out looking for that platter.”
or: San’s a skilled monster slayer, traveling the world alone, never staying anywhere longer than it takes to finish a hunt. He's hired to kill Wooyoung, who is said to be a vile witch responsible for cursing a village. A task meant to be swift and simple falters when San learns the truth about Wooyoung.

San has always loved the sea and its creatures, so, naturally, he's beyond excited when Jung Wooyoung offers him a job at the town's aquarium. The more glimpses he gets of the man while working, the more interesting the elusive, chaotic biologist seems to become, making him eager to befriend him; and then it's only a matter of time before their friendship melts into something softer.

Summary
“YOU SAW SANNIE’S DICK?” Wooyoung screeched in betrayal and disappointment, totally uncaring that the majority of their friend group was looking at him from around Hongjoong’s living room as if he had lost his mind. He was too busy glaring at Yunho.
Because he had seen San’s dick.
And Wooyoung hadn’t.
Or:
Wooyoung and San are in a happy, loving relationship. Everybody knows but them.

Summary
Namhae-do. South Gyeongsang's hidden gem is officially on the map, and it's Jung Wooyoung's job to show it off.
Starting with this island, Departure Magazine is kicking off its new series to highlight Korea's littlest known vacation destinations, and Wooyoung is the photographer on the job, tasked with leading the story and shooting the feature. He has just over a week to capture all of Namhae's charms, but this is his first big gig, and he's got a lot to prove. This has to be the story that makes the people fall in love with his work – and him fall in love with his job.
Uncertain about his future and not entirely convinced of the countryside appeal, Wooyoung shows up to Namhae with a little bit of doubt and a lot of grit.
His accommodations? The guest bedroom of the head of the village. His job might not be the only thing he falls for.
