    Summary

    “Kim Dokja.”
    Again, the sound of his own name on Yoo Joonghyuk’s lips felt less like a curse and more like a prayer, and caught as he was, he felt whatever distance had separated them was gone. The Wall was gone, the unreadable Yoo Joonghyuk, former regressor, was gone.
    ⸢Let us walk by your side to the end.⸥
    In this weird, offset pocket of space, where no Constellation could peek in, where no foreknowledge Kim Dokja had could help, all he could read in Yoo Joonghyuk was genuine, heartfelt determination.
    “Let us catch you.”

    Amidst his confusion over the sub-scenario his Company has given him, Kim Dokja is forced to face a complaint from an unlikely source - Yoo Joonghyuk himself.

    Summary

    Cait was quiet for a long while, leaning her head on Vi’s shoulder. Vi ran her fingers through Cait’s hair, still holding the key between her index and middle fingers, and let her think. She held Cait. She waited. It felt like time itself stood still.

    Summary

    A meeting, and then everything else.

    -

    I wonder how I’ll lose myself. I know I will. I always have, but there’s something tremulous to being confronted by it and knowing that this moment is the beginning.

    I smile at her, and I can’t help it if it’s a little knowing.

    “Hello.”

    Her eyes widen, and I allow myself to anticipate.

    Summary

    “It seems you may know more than you say you do,” said Yu Hansung. “I suppose I’m glad that Hwaryun chose someone shrewd to be by Viole’s side. Let me offer you a poem that may help you find some answers to your questions. Consider it both friendly advice and a warning:

    “The rain that falls from a downpour
    Collects in the stone jar unseen.
    The first of the droplets to overflow
    Look up at the vaulted night and wonder—
    Would it even be possible to count
    The number of stars in the sky?”

    Aguero gritted his teeth. “You have some gall to assume I won’t turn you into the ten families. They’ll roast you alive.”

    “I do not fear death. I only fear living without knowing what I want to live for.” Yu Hansung took a long sip of his tea. “In other words, I’m only afraid of turning into someone like you.”

    A one-shot fantasy sageuk AU loosely set in Joseon Korea, in which Khun is our protagonist, Bam is our hero, and fate is our antagonist.

    Recommended that you've caught up to the Hidden Floor on the Hell Train arc if you want to catch all the parallels in the story.
