California Dreaming: Seong Gi-hun x Hwang In-ho, E, M/M, ONGOING, 39.3K words; Seong Gi-hun has been home from Los Angeles for one week. His ex-wife, Kang Eun-ji, makes it known to him that he looks...off. He stares off into space for a hair too long, hardly registers the call of his name, and his hair is a tad insane. She makes an offhand comment, suggesting he take up therapy, that it would do him some good.

Clutching the card he stole from the subway station off a bewildered passenger, their cheek ripe in pain after the cold afterglow of a pathetic game of ddakji, he fiddles it in his fingers. He held onto it the entire trip, and now, in his stuffy apartment, dials the number.

A young, chipper woman answers after three rings.

A young woman in the restaurant recognizes him.

"It's Seong Gi-hun!"

Temporary Secretary: Seong Gi-hun x Hwang In-ho, E, M/M, COMPLETED, 13.2K words; Hwang In-ho isn't a jealous man.

In-ho merely hums. “Not really,” he replies, fingers finally easing on his thigh, but only so they can crawl upwards towards the slight bulge behind Gi-hun’s panties. “On the contrary, aren’t you too old to have such a filthy mouth? Surely you must have some life experience by now—tell me, it’s gotten you into plenty of trouble before, hasn’t it?”

Gi-hun doesn’t respond, simply fwipping his head towards the nearest wall, stubbornly avoiding In-ho’s gaze.

“…I’ll take that as a yes.”

“…What did you say?”

Gi-hun swallows and shuffles in her seat. Her finger traces the rim of her glass, almost as a nervous tick.

“A toy tester,” she repeats, louder this time. She doesn’t dare make eye contact with anyone at the table. “Someone in-house, they could test the product for quality assurance before we’re ready to put them on the market. It’d certainly address customer complaints.”
