Minghao laughs. “Why was your ring in the river?”
Soonyoung opens his mouth, then closes it. “Because I threw it.”

summary: There's 5,953 miles between Los Angeles and Seoul, a distance that's already huge, even without the 65 English phones that don't exist in Korean. Joshua closes the first gap, then tries bridging the second.

For the last paper Joshua turned in before the semester hit for his exchange program, he wrote a mindblowingly long essay about the induction of a new suffix into the English language: -ception. It started off as a joke after Inception swept the box office, disregarding the original meaning of the word, and took up the new definition of recursive layering, concentric circles, matryoshka dolling any object, any concept. Hyper-specific. Useless in everyday life. Still, it exists, operates, functions.
He thinks the suffix gives everything its added to a dream-like, surreal quality; cities folding over, hallways spinning below him.
Joshua touches the back of Soonyoung's neck, deep in sleep beside him, and tucks the tag on his shirt back beneath the collar. There is a love inside this love inside this love, and somewhere out there, he's awake, driving off a bridge in slow motion.
