Notes: Haha, I don’t even know what this is. I (obviously) started it for the Animal challenge, but it’s pretty mysterious, so I think it fits here too.
Tags: Secret cat shapeshifter, I chose the wrong POV, Coming out to a parent, Brief reference to canonical child abuse, this fic is kind of a mess?, oh well :-)
Summary: Hotae moved towards the cat. On closer inspection, it was an orange tabby, average sized, nothing special about it except for the way it held its ground, its big eyes fixed on him. Wouldn’t a normal cat have run away by now? Or meowed for food? All cats liked to be fed, didn’t they?

Summary: In the cool of the kitchen, Hotae pours two glasses of water and gives one to Sua.

“What happened to you?” she asks, jerking her head at his leg.

“Motorbike accident. You?”

She shrugs and looks around the room. “Auntie said I’d be able to stay here a few days while she finds me somewhere permanent. She said your mum would understand.”

Rating: Gen
Length: 1229 words
Notes: Missing Scene, Episode 4, F/F. CNTW. I got Eun Sujin’s name from her name tag, and named the others myself. This ended up a bit tangential to the prompt, but it all starts because Go Hotae didn't fulfill his duties as a good boyfriend.
Summary: “Hey, Go Hotae! If I catch you, I’ll teach you a lesson!” yells Eun Sujin, storming away from the infirmary so fast that Baek Yunha has to run to catch up.

She grabs Sujin’s sleeve. “He’s gone. Hey, how did you learn to pick locks, anyway?”

Notes: Missing Scene, Episode 4 after the second kiss, Angst so much angst, The Shadow of Past Trauma, Internalized Homophobia, Dashed Hopes. CNTW. Many thanks to mergatrude for last-minute read-through!
Summary: “Stop!” Donghee breaks Hotae’s hold on his neck and shoves him away. It’s too dangerous, this desperate blazing kiss. If they don’t stop now… If they don’t stop now, he won’t be able to stop at all, and he can’t keep going. He can’t. Not when this doesn’t mean to Hotae what it means to him.

Hotae stares at him, dark-eyed and swollen-lipped. There’s a fresh scratch on his cheek. Donghee must have just put it there.

Summary: He practically sleepwalks out the main door. No one stops him. Why would they? He’s Kim Donghee, star pupil, responsible and studious with perfect attendance. He doesn’t cause trouble. He never defies authority. Until ten minutes ago, that’s who he was. Now, he’s the boy who kissed Go Hotae.

Notes: New Relationship, Developing Relationship, Fluff, The Shadow of Past Trauma, Internalized Homophobia, Does this count as emotional hurt/comfort? idk. No archive warnings. Many many thankful thanks to Teaotter for beta.
Summary: “We’re boyfriends now, right? Can’t I kiss you?” Hotae had kissed Donghee twice yesterday, and both times Donghee had closed his eyes and let him, but hadn’t kissed back. In fact, the second time he’d been so tense Hotae had thought he might lash out… or worse, change his mind and insist they break up.
