Summary
"If you want to get me married, then I have a condition."
Chenle’s throat is dry and he briefly considers backing out before the format of a matrimonial profile flashes in his mind. If he needs to read the words outdoor person and family-oriented once more, he might throw up a few vital organs.
“You have to marry me off to a man.”
[ Alternatively: The one in which Chenle marries for family, Jisung marries for the economy, and between a ton of cut fruit and animal post-it notes, they stay married for each other. ]

Summary
For now, Jisung comes and goes as he pleases, his new backpack slung over one shoulder, his old skateboard in hand or underfoot. When Chan is home, he greets him with a grunt or a nod. When Chan’s the one coming home, there’s usually no greeting at all because Jisung’s holed up in his bedroom more often than not. They eat dinner together if they’re both home, and if Jisung won’t be there for it, he has to let Chan know before five, so he won’t make or bring too much.
It works. They work. Maybe Jisung’s not talking about his feelings or maybe he’s not processing everything as he should be, but he’s got a roof above his head, he’s got three good meals a day and he’s got a safe place to come home to. It’s a good start, Chan thinks. It’s more than he used to have.

Summary
His friends' gasps are comically synchronized, resembling the sound of a gust of wind blowing into the room. Even Seungmin, usually the most collected, seems to be worried about his next move. Jeongin writes the numbers again, only this time it starts at the seventh spot— Jisung's— and leaves Felix second to someone else. Someone outside their circle. A new hyung.
Changbin points at the new name on the list with an angry finger. "Who in the world is Hyunjin?"
Jeongin and his friends have a long-standing tradition: every month, his hyungs go to great lengths to be number one— to be crowned Jeongin's Best Hyung— in what they've labeled Hyung Ranking Day. When Jeongin suddenly surprises them with a name they've never heard before claiming the top spot, it's instant chaos.
There's no friendly competition when it comes to being the youngest's Number One.

Desperate for a pick-me-up after a truly shitty day, Felix asks Changbin for pictures of his biceps to feel a bit better. Does it say something about Changbin that he finds the thought of it kind of sweet?

Summary
Hyunjin is no stranger to attention in clubs and bars. Some buy him drinks, some ask for a dance. But this—
“Please, marry me. Or I can… hip… I can be whatever you want me to be,” the guy says, looking up from his place at Hyunjin's feet. “And I can, like… hip… get a job and buy you things forever. Hip. A house.”
“Jesus, Jeongin. Is this really how you plan on wooing him?” His friend sighs, still trying to pull him back up by the neck of his shirt. He simply won't budge, no matter how hard he tugs. “By telling him you're unemployed?”
“And clearly desperate,” Jeongin's other friend adds, swirling the straw in his cocktail without offering any help.
Jeongin bats the hands that have been pestering him out of the way, peeling his eyes off of Hyunjin to stare at the other two men with a drunken frown. “I told you I… hip… have an interview this week.”
— this is definitely new.
Drunk Jeongin drops to his knees and begs Hyunjin to marry him. To the surprise of everybody, it works like a charm.
