Summary
Fresh bread, old crushes, and a chaos that feels like home
or
When Jin and Jeongguk lost their parents as teenagers, the brothers took wildly different paths to survive. Jin, polished and responsible, climbed into the dazzling world of luxury fashion at Loro Piana, while Jeongguk, chaotic yet brilliant, turned his hyperfocus into flour, coffee, and late-night kitchen experiments in their inherited apartment. Their quiet, messy, slice-of-life routine is shaken when Jin’s old friend Jimin, divorced and blonde (and carrying more baggage than his tiny suitcase) shows up drenched in rain, ready (or not) to move in. Between mischievous cousins, a spoiled dog named Bam, and unresolved feelings from school days, everyday life turns into a tangle of teasing, nostalgia, and unexpected warmth. It’s a story where chaos smells like fresh bread, secrets hide in casual banter and love lingers in the steam of an espresso pot.

Summary
“I’m home,” Namjoon calls. “Uh, Jimin? Why is the hallway wet?”
“Give me just a second,” he calls back. “My life’s ending. I’ll— I’ll clean it up after I’m done having my breakdown.”
“Uh, alright? Just… let me know if you need anything, I guess.”
After a while there’s a knock on his door. “Is it… is it cause you turned 27? As in one step closer to 30?”
“I just got a soulmate.”
Jimin says it too low for Namjoon to hear properly.
“You just what?”
“I just got a soulmate, hyung! I have a soulmate. I just got— fuck. I have a soulmate.”
OR
There’s two things that Park Jimin can’t stand.
One is the fucking idealized concept of soulmates, that everyone else seems to be enamoured by, with their tattoos and instinctual PDA. The second is Jeon Jungkook, and the feeling seems mutual. To his horror, he gets both on his 27th birthday: Jungkook’s name on his skin in black, elegant ink. And Jungkook… seems very into the idea?
But Jimin has bigger problems, too busy trying to survive his life to give a fuck what the universe wants. In fact, both of them are standing at the edge of their own personal abyss. Will they learn to soften their edges so they can see if they fit together while at it?- Language:

Summary
“I’m forty-five years old,” Jeongguk scoffed. “Jimin—”
“So what?”
Jeongguk’s grip on his own knees tightened. “You’re twenty-one.”
“Mhm. Legal and everything.” Jimin leaned back against the couch cushions, letting his thighs fall slightly apart. Jeongguk could feel his mouth pooling with water like some kind of twisted Pavlovian reaction. “I’m not a kid, Mr. Jeon. I’m in college. I vote. I can drink. I know what I’m doing.”
Jeongguk has never spared his son’s best friend a second glance... until Jimin comes back for the summer looking nothing like the boy Jeongguk remembers. Now that he’s older, much blonder, and shamelessly flirtatious, Jimin seems determined to get under his skin—and maybe even into his bed.
