Summary
Han Jisung lives with a ghost.
He knows he’s there, can sense his presence in the empty takeout containers left by the sink, the extra pairs of shoes in the entryway, and the smell of his cologne that sticks around the apartment and never seems to go away. They share the rent and the space but nothing more, nothing between them but superficial friendship, the forced camaraderie of being roommates. For a while, Jisung was happy with just that.
Until the day when curiosity got the better of him and he just had to know more, and he started to piece together the island within an island that was Lee Minho.

Summary
Minho's used to silence. He's used to the way the villagers avoid his eyes when they visit him asking for help, the way they look at him with fear and distrust when they think he can't see. He's used to his world being the sprawling garden within the old ivy-covered iron fence and the familiar warmth of the cottage. He's used to it just being him, his cats, and the old journals.
It isn't until a villager somehow wanders into the garden despite the enchantments that he's faced with how unbearably isolated he's become, or how hard it is to open up to someone after years of being alone— or how freeing it is to know someone understands him.
-
Or, the one where Minho is a lonely village witch and Jisung is a plucky village boy who's determined to befriend him.
