Do Ji Han/ Ban-ryu: Being pretty must be exhausting

Choi Minho/ Suho: *tilts head to look better* Well then you must be exhausted

After several years, he graduates from a top uni abroad and expects to become the CEO of Shinwha, but is told that he must start from the bottom (office work) and work his way up to become CEO so they don’t suspect that he is the son. He ends up working in the same department as Sunwoo, Ahro, Banryu, Hansung, Yeowool, and Suho.

Yeowool is plenty rich but is bored of his lavish life and decides to get a job. Hansung is supposed to the the heir to a law firm but is an aspiring writer/historian. Because he cuts ties with his family, he loses financial aid and has to get a job at Shinhwa. At first, Hansung is annoyed at how spoilt Yeowool is, and Yeowool doesn’t understand how someone could leave behind such a bright future, but ya they fall in love because otp <3 Hansung writes a successful book about the history of Hwarang’s that gets converted into a kdrama, and Yeowool learns to become more independent and gets a job as a model. This is pretty lucky, because Yeowool’s family loose their estate when they’re caught in a bribing scandal.

Suho and Banryu are both from rich families, and have known each other since birth. They are sons of government officials with polar political views, and because of that they had to become rivals. During university Suho claimed that Banryu wouldn’t be capable of opening a word document without the help of a maid, and in their rivalry they challenge each other to see who would get an “employee of the year” award to settle their argument. Spending so much time together ends up with them falling in love, but because of the strict “no dating coworkers” rule and their pettiness (to win the award) they try not to act on their feelings. Plot twist where Banryu’s step-father is working with the mobsters and blackmailing Shinhwa with details over the scandal, and Banryu is supposed to find out who the heir of Shinhwa is. Suho finds out everything and surprisingly isn’t pissed. Instead he says “If you go through with his plan, you automatically lose the Employee of the Year Award.” and convinces Banryu to double-cross his asshole step-dad. After things settle down, Banryu and Suho realise that they’re actually really good actors and are cast in Hansung’s Hwarang Drama. End-game Suryu yaas. Also a thing where Sooyeon and Banryu meet and Banryu considers dating Sooyeon. Maybe not because that would be too complex.

Ahro and Sunwoo are siblings from a poor family. His father had a flourishing pharmacy that was shut down to make way for the companies’ new building. Jidwi takes pity on them after meeting Sunwoo at a coffee shop (previous job as a barista) and gives them a job there (anonymously). They end up working there to make money to send Ahro to medical school and reopen the pharmacy. While there, in a twist of events, Sunwoo finds out that he and Ahro are not siblings. He’s the estranged son of the same mobsters that were responsible for the death of Jidwi’s father. They try to convince him to expose the heir of Shinhwa but Sunwoo doesn’t know who Jidwi really is, and they end up striking a friendship when they find out about each others tough past in border-line poverty conditions. They get cloooser and closer, and when the CEO beyotch Jisoo finds out she does everything she can to keep them apart, to the point that she even targets Ahro. With all the attacks on Sunwoo and Ahro, people at the office begin to think that Sunwoo is the heir of Shinhwa. CEO Jisoo eventually talks to Sunwoo and tells him to back off or she’ll “take care” of everything (read: kill Ahro). Things are resolved when Jidwi and Sunwoo finally get their shit together and help each other. 

Roles: 

Ahro, Yeowool, and Hansung are secretaries. Hansung and Ahro become close friends because of their similar situations, which makes Yeowool jelly. The three of them enjoy gossiping in the lunch room.

Suho and Banryu are programmers. They frequently sabotage each others code (as if coding isn’t hard enough as it is) to piss each other off. Neither of them win Employee of the Year awards.

Jidwi and Sunwoo start off as regular office workers, but Jidwi keeps one getting Sunwoo promoted because he isn’t making enough money.

Hypolimnion by mianhae suho / banryu it’s long, well writen and has plot at first i was a bit suprised but then remembered those idiots went to some sort of sacred place to fight, so its ‘in character’, its awesome, okay? go read it!

Caramel Macchiato by instinctively yeowool / hansung AU modern setting it’s still ongoing and not much happend, but it seems nice and is updated reqularly

my absolute fave : In The Quiet and Barely Breathing by  signifying_nothing yeowool / hansung those are first and last (at this moment) ff in some sort of series, nice, not murderously angsty and set in canon (well bb is a fix it for hansung) , the other ones are Silent Screaming and If You Die and those two are angst and more angst

These Fleeting Moments by  developments suho / banryu set in canon universe, i liked it a lot and the second part is also good
