Summary
“With what right, pray tell, do you harm the flowers so?” came the voice from behind the rosebush. “This is not a land of yours to steal from.”
Jungkook whirled around to see a man stepping out, too beautiful to be anything but a dream. His hair was the same soft pink of the flower he had plucked for Yerim and his eyes were sharp as the edge of the sword Jungkook carried at his belt. The morning light fell on his face mimicking the shimmer of dew on the rose petals and his plump lips stretched around the words he spewed in a way that ought to have been ugly but was nothing short of spectacular. Yerim’s jaw set tight, posture rigid, but Jungkook couldn’t draw his eyes away.
There he was: the legend of old.
He spared Jungkook not a glance.

James is doomed to spend the rest of all eternity organizing beads into bowls. Something about it being a type of meditation whilst improving his hand eye coordination. Is it really his fault that he keeps breaking off doorknobs and water-faucets with his brand spanking new bionic arm?
And that whole other bit about being presumed dead. Then a terrorist. Then a cyborg. But, we'll not get into that now.

Summary
“It's like the old folk ballads,” April tells him. “They'll change me into all kinds of monsters and nightmares and deadly things. They'll do anything they can to make you let me go. But you can't let go, Ram. No matter what you do—don't let go.”
Here, as he lies on the forest floor amid wild roses and fallen leaves, staring into the mesmerizing blue of April's eyes, it is easy to believe that he will be brave enough to keep his arms around her. But at midnight on All Hallow's Eve, with the shadows of barren trees looming above him and the roar of the Shadowkin horde in his ears, Ram isn't sure he can believe in anything.
