1. Purple Rain - Shin Hyesung

When Hyesung left, there was nothing Sunho could do. Not to call him back, not to ask him to stay, not to... nothing.

He stares blankly at the glass of water sitting on the table, as if it too is waiting for Hyesung. Outside, raindrops patter against the window, and Sunho feels tears welling up in his eyes. Why did Hyesung love these kinds of days so much? He loved to curl up on the couch with a book in front of the fireplace, losing himself in a different world, a universe that Sunho could never, would never understand.

Sunho misses the way Hyesung used to laugh, his small huffs and the corners of his eyes curving into crescents, the way Hyesung pressed his lips against his hair, the way he was perfectly taller than him, just so he could rest his chin on top of his head. Sunho misses feeling small and safe, fingers clutching Hyesung's sweater, the softness of the fabric, of his scent, mingling into his own.

 

2. Voice of My Heart - Infinite

"Sunggyu!"

He hears the voice before he sees him. Sunggyu suppresses a smile, bringing up a hand to hide his smile, as a heavy weight flings itself on his back. Sunggyu stumblrs, cursing out loud, and nearly hits the ground if not for the pair of arms holding him up.

"Sorry." Howon doesn't sound sorry at all, his little canine glinting in the sunlight. "You're just too light."

"You're too fat," Sunggyu retorts, but his heart leaps, and he dusts himself off. "Come on, then. We're going to be late."

Howon grumbles, but he trails Sunggyu to the museum, jabbering about off-topics things the entire way. "Like how Barcelona lost the game yesterday, holy , I thought I was going to punch a hole though the wall..."

Howon is an idiot, Sunggyu realizes for not-the-first-time-today, but the thought of it makes him smile, and he turns around suddenly. Howon stops, startled into silence.

"You're an idiot," Sunggyu blurts out, and Howon relaxes, punching his arm lightly.

"Damn, I thought you were going to bring up the field day thing..."

. He should have. He really should have.

 

3. She Over Flowers - Yesung

"ING LEE SUNHO!"

Andy flinches as Hyesung's voice rings through the room. This is the one time he wishes that hyung wasn't the main vocal... damn, his ears are still ringing.

"LEE SUNHO, GET YOUR ING OVER HERE!"

"Coming, coming, geez..." Andy doesn't even need to think to know what Hyesung's so mad about. "God, hyung, I swear, you're-"

"GET YOUR ING DOG AWAY FROM MY PRECIOUS BITNA!"

Andy cringes, face contorting as Hyesung screams in his ear. ", hyung, I-"

"DON'T ING CURSE!"

This hyung is really mad today. Andy doesn't remember him being this mad since... four years ago? Yeah, that was... not fun...

 

4. No Other - Super Junior

When Sunho closes up for the day, he finds the balloons tied to his door again. They're pale pink this time, heart-shaped, probably because Valentine's Day is a week away and the stores no longer sell regular balloons. Figures.

He can't help the small smile on his face as he carefully slips the strings into his hand. They're beautiful, cute and bright, a drastic freshness against the dull gray city. Sunho loves whoever keeps giving them to him. It makes his little flower shop look nice, and he gets to go home feeling happy every day.

"Oh, again?"

Hyesung, his rival in flower-selling, appears beside him, and Sunho nearly has a heart attack.

"You're closing early," he remarks lightly. Hyesung tends to close late out of his desire to win over Sunho. He rolls his eyes.

"It's ing the week before Valentine's Day, everyone who needs flowers are only ordering them now."

"That's not what my customers are saying." Hyesung's face darkens briefly, and Andy feels bad about gloating. "Here," he says, handing Hyesung a balloon. "You can have one."

 

5. Jam Jam - Seventeen

No. What is this? This can't be happening.

Andy wakes up in a void of blue. It's... trippy, melting and solidifying in a hallucinatory pattern. He squeezes his eyes shut, rubs them hard, and opens them again. Nope, same place.

What the ?

"You're awake."

The voice comes from beside him, making him jump, but what really scares him is that there's no one beside him. Andy is completely alone. He gasps and scoots backwards as fast as he can. His back hits a wall, and Andy curls up, hiding his face.

"Stupid. It's an earpiece."

, he'd embarrassed himself. "How can you see me?" he asks, voice trembling. He reaches up to touch his ear, but there's nothing. He sticks a finger into his ear, but still, nothing.

"It's embedded. There are cameras. Don't worry."

Don't worry? What the is this dude saying?

"Don't worry my ," he mutters angrily.

 

6. Song For You - Super Junior

"No more sugar!" Leeteuk snaps, snatching the huge lollipop away from Donghae. The kid is completely gone, face red from lack of breath from laughing hysterically at something stupid Hyukjae said. Kyuhyun giggles, wine drunk, and Leeteuk's eye twitches.

"Everybody PARTYYYY!" Shindong yells, climbing onto a coffee table, karaoke mic in hand. "Paaaaarrrttyyyy~ wnegesrdfd yeogin party time dfujdgrxf party time ISSA PARTY~"

Suddenly, the entirety of Super Junior is singing SNSD's Party, and Leeteuk wants to cry. Instead, he slams the lollipop on the table, throws himself into one of the chairs, and puts his face down.

Then, suddenly, a soft hand is his hair. "What's wrong? Are they too loud?"

"I didn't know you could be so quiet in comparison." Heechul huffs in amusement and sits down beside him.

"Well, I'm not drunk."

 

7. H.I.T - Super Junior

"Agent A, duck!"

Boom! Andy barely has time to dive behind a car when the bomb explodes. The shockwave throws him outwards, even though he should have been on the outer edge of the damage anyway. He hits the ground, skidding.

", you good?" His earpiece crackles, and Andy hisses, peeling himself off the pavement. No time to check for wounds, he'll do that later.

"H, requesting backup." He pulls his gun out from its holster and scans the street for mob members. "H, did you hear me? Backup, now!"

But even as the words leave his mouth, he knows that it's no use. H is already out and on the move, personally attacking the enemy. "No, H, you can't."

"Shut up, A." It's M. His voice is forced, tinged with anger. "It's his choice, and we don't have backups anyway."

Since when had Shinhwa Company fallen to such lows?

 

8. My Turn to Cry - EXO

Once upon a time, there was a boy and a... another boy.

(You can't do that!)

Yeah, I can. Anyone can love anyone.

(Fine...)

Well, anyway, they were friends at first, and this one boy, let's call him...

(Y!)

Y. Let's call him Y. He was soft and sweet, and not a thing in the world could hurt him. But some of them wanted to.

(He needed to be safe!)

No, he needed other people to look out for him and make sure he was safe. He thought he was fine, but he wasn't...

(What about the other boy?)

He was called... B. He was loud and annoying and memey, and everything Y was not. He ended up being Y's best friend.

(My friend is like that, she makes up for all the things I can't do.)

That's great! That's like them. They were... perfect together. Destined to be. They were happy together.

(But they couldn't stay together.)

No, because people were too f- too mean. They were mean because they thought two boys couldn't be together.

(And that made them sad.)

Very sad. Because anyone can love anyone.

(Is that all?)

Yeah.

(Okay. Goodnight, daddy.)

Goodnight, sweet.

--

"Did you tell her about us?"

"You were listening?"

"We ended up together, didn't we?"

 

9. Lady Luck - EXO

Hyesung never expected to find himself in a bar. A gay bar, nonetheless.

"You need to lighten up," Minwoo had urged a few hours ago. He snatched away the papers in front of him. "Hyesung, it's Friday. Relax."

So that's why he's chilling in a bar, five feet away from other people because he's not in any single way gay?

"You're just a closet," Dongwan had laughed one day, patting his head like a father even though he was only twenty days older. "It's okay."

No. That's wrong. Hyesung is not gay. In any way. He just admires other guys' bodies, like real men do.

Except hoo boi, that one dancer up on stage right now... the way he moves those slender hips, the graceful way he extends his leg, the gorgeous sparkling makeup he has on...

The dancer looks up, making eye contact, and Hyesung spits out his drink. He splutters, quickly turning away, but his face burns. The bartender laughs.

"Are you a first-timer?" he asks.

 

10. 我的未来不是梦 - 张雨生

The year is 1972. Pilkyo is a top student. Sunho is the worst student in the history of students. They happen to be best friends.

"I will never understand how you can even stand Lee Sunho," Minwoo remarks, pencil scritch-scratching essays into his practice book. Pilkyo looks over, glasses slipping just a bit down his nose. "I mean, he hangs out with Park Choongjae. I'd be caught dead before I talked to that dude."

Pilkyo lets out a small huff. "Choongjae's not a bad person. He just doesn't care." He pauses, pushing his glasses back up but marking his face with pen. "Sunho could care more, but it's hard on him, with his family and all." Minwoo hums sympathetically and continues to write. "Sunho's a sweet kid. He's just... in the wrong place at the wrong time."

Minwoo nods, clearly no longer interested, but Pilkyo could talk about Sunho all day and night. With difficulty, he swallows the myriad of words lurking in his throat and pens down some vocabulary. His face must be burning.

--

"It's Syung!"

"Hyesung-hyung!"

Whoever gave him that stupid nickname must die. Oh wait, it was Sunho. Pilkyo can't help the smile that blossoms on his face and Sunho runs to him, eyes bright and shining. "Hyung!" he calls, diving into Pilkyo's arms. "Guess what I learned today?"
