hikari⋆₊˚♪'s manga / #Shonen Ai(16)

Ji Ho’s week has been, to put it simply, quite eventful. He’s still getting used to being back in university after a leave of absence, he manages to snag a killer offer for a place to rent in downtown Seoul, and on his first day in the new house, he runs into a robber! The strange thing about this robber(?) is that he doesn’t seem interested in any valuables, but is enamored by the story Ji Ho scribbled down in some old notebooks. So enamored that he offers to keep house for Ji Ho so that he can concentrate on writing more. Ji Ho initially refuses that odd proposition, but the more he thinks about it, the less he has to lose...

Best friends Yoshiki and Hikaru have been stuck together like glue for most of their lives. Living in a small village and being the only children their age, the two boys find solace in each other's company. Their friendship seems picturesque at first glance, but Yoshiki has noticed a shift in Hikaru's demeanor ever since one fateful summer. The "Hikaru" that sits beside him now is nothing like his friend. Despite his physical appearance and memories remaining exactly the same, Yoshiki knows something is amiss and that the Hikaru he once knew is gone. When he brings this up, Hikaru partially transforms into an otherworldly being, threatening to kill Yoshiki if he cannot accept it—while also professing its love for him. Wracked with grief and unable to let go of his best friend, Yoshiki struggles to move on with his life as he finds himself getting closer to the new Hikaru. At the same time, strange occurrences begin to plague their village, bringing unsettling chaos.

Never again, Juhyun thinks. I’ll never fall for Shin Heeju again. But what do you know, he ends up running into Heeju again in college, his friend’s older brother whom he’s had a crush on for as long as he can remember. And this time Heeju’s all drunk and slamming his head against a telephone pole. And from what he drunkenly tells Juhyun… he’s just been turned down by another guy?! Juhyun knows he shouldn’t start, that he shouldn’t get his hopes up. He tells himself they’re just friends. But maybe, just maybe, this time will be different and he’ll get the only guy who he thinks is worth the wait.
