The separation of Military Enlistment is a cruel thing but it could also provided something Jiyong and Seunghyun both seem to need: time and space. The space to decide what they mean to one another and what they want for their future. Fate and emotion can only go so far to help them, however. In the end whatever paths Fate provides, it is only by choices made, or taken, that they can be walked. 

Youngbae is achingly tired. His tour has been long... seemingly endless. But  he can't go home just yet. Seunghyun needs him.

Theirs was an association built more on living parallel lives, shared experiences. So when Youngbae buys a house mere blocks from Seunghyun they recognize the opportunity to be something else. Friends, at least. Together they explore the meaning of friendship, family, and love. 

"Lets join Overwatch," Seunghyun had said, "we could be heroes." But being a hero is a bit more than they'd thought. Or basically, the boys have to the payload.

Nights like this were rare. In fact, Seunghyun couldn’t remember the last time he’d had both Daesung and Youngbae to himself.

Jiyong knows they are doomed, knows there is no hope, and yet he aches for Seunghyun.

Jiyong has a question he needs to ask, but can he? Is it worth it?
