“Inho, Inho I’m an adult. I’m too old for this,” Stephen complained, though his eyes followed Inho’s hands pulling down his jeans. “I’m literally getting older tomorrow, too – 31, officially too old to break into a pool.” Did Inho seriously want to do this? It was so childish! 2021-04-19 23:08:47 +0000 UTC View Post
Surprisingly, Inho felt ok the next day. He had, however, slept until 1 pm, so maybe he’d missed the hangover completely. He didn’t mention what he’d witnessed in the kitchen to the others, but when they’d woken him up for lunch the next day, he had to remind himself not to ask where Nath...
2021-04-19 23:03:19 +0000 UTC View PostThe trio got drunk enough that Inho could easily pretend he wasn’t devastated. At around 11 pm they staggered in a six-legged tangle back to Jasmine’s place to drink more. When they arrived, Nathan ran to the bathroom immediately to pee, and Jasmine went to gather wine and glasses. Inho fell ...
2021-04-19 23:02:14 +0000 UTC View PostInho pulled away, out of Jamie’s clutching hug. He set his shoulders and turned towards her. Her eyes were bloodshot and mascara was smeared around them in wet clumps. She was beautiful to him, same as always – far more beautiful than their video calls could ever capture.
“I missed yo...
2021-04-19 23:00:55 +0000 UTC View Post“Ah fuck,” Stephen wheezed as Inho simultaneously bit his lip and kneed him in the balls. He flopped over to writhe on the couch. Whoever was unlocking the door was struggling a bit with the old lock, and the key was grinding under their efforts.
“I’m so sorry, that was an accident!...
2021-04-19 23:00:09 +0000 UTC View Post“I like listening to pump up music when I’m doing my bike deliveries. It helps me move fast,” Inho explained shyly. When others teased his music tastes, he didn’t care at all, but somehow, he didn’t want Stephen to think he was lame. He walked over to the speaker and turned it off to st...
2021-04-19 22:59:00 +0000 UTC View Post“Botany?!” Jasmine exclaimed, her eyes wide.
“Yeah, is that weird? It was really fancy.” Inho replied. He’d arrived a bit early for his shift, and found Nathan and Jasmine behind the bar experimenting with a new espresso machine and taste testing elaborate concoctions. Nathan was ...
2021-04-19 22:56:07 +0000 UTC View PostInho was relieved that Stephen agreed to share a dessert, as he was uncomfortably full from dinner. He didn’t want to turn it down out of politeness, and also because it was probably going to be amazing. The meal was something he’d never forget. He’d certainly never be able to afford someth...
2021-04-19 22:50:13 +0000 UTC View PostStephen could tell that Inho was finally loosening up. All it took was a blackberry gin bramble and a maple bourbon sour to get there. They’d already gotten through the boring small talk about where they were from and how they ended up in Vancouver. Nobody was actually from Vancouver. People al...
2021-04-19 22:49:34 +0000 UTC View PostStephen considered Inho’s shy expression as Inho climbed into the passenger seat of his car. His body language was very meek. It was an odd look for someone who had tried to start a fight in a restaurant the last time they met.
The fact that Inho had somehow turned an apology into a date ...
2021-04-19 22:45:30 +0000 UTC View PostStephen didn’t answer his text right away, and Inho spent the rest of his shift sneaking peeks at his phone. Jasmine found this hilarious and teased him relentlessly. Inho knew she was probably just relieved to see him focused on something other than his breakup. Jasmine was a good friend, anno...
2021-04-19 22:24:08 +0000 UTC View PostAt Inho’s rude words, Stephen’s surprised expression morphed into a smooth smile without missing a beat.
“I’m sorry, do I know you?”
He raised his eyebrows in polite inquiry. His indifference struck Inho viscerally and he stumbled over his words, humiliated,
“I’m, ...

Inho felt raw. His emotions were flayed red and out for all to see. He couldn’t muster a real smile to save his life, and his fingernails were chewed down to the quicks. He didn’t have the energy to organize going back to Korea yet, nor did he know how t...
2021-04-19 22:10:32 +0000 UTC View PostStephen let the smile slip off his face like oil as soon as the door closed behind the lawyer. The man was not unpleasant, but the whole lawsuit mess was tiring. A small omission on a client’s annual audit was turning into weeks of headaches for him. He dropped a coffee pod into the espresso ma...
