Summary
Before he could do it, Euijoo speaks up. “Have we met before?”
He retracts his hand that’s reaching to grab the white napkin by the plate to look at Euijoo. Nicholas is sure Euijoo has a face he won’t ever be able to forget if he’s seen it in passing or somewhere else. Beautiful smile, upturned lips, tanned skin that makes him look like he’ll probably make Nicholas sweat under the blanket if they’re pressed up against each other because he just seems to exude warmth.
“No.” Nicholas says, he’s never been more certain about anything in his life. “I don’t think so.”
“You look—” Euijoo trails off, “very familiar.”
“If this is a pickup line about how I’m the man of your dreams, I’m going to walk out of this restaurant right now, Euijoo.”

Summary
The gods tie a thread around your smallest finger before you are born. That thread is red, the color of blood, of passion, of the cord that binds a child to its mother. Its other end is tied to your soulmate—somewhere in the world, someone whose thread is knotted to yours. You cannot see it. You cannot feel it. Only when your soulmate speaks your true name for the first time, the string vibrates like a plucked harp string, and the sound it makes is the sound of your own heartbeat, heard from outside your body for the first time.
But in the eyes of the Church, a string tied by pagan gods is no string at all. It is a temptation. A pretty lie whispered by the devil to lead good vulnerable boys into the dark.
In the dark, it holds the only place two boys can love.

Summary
Their dialect coach had once told them that the entire premise of the story rested in their capacities to emulate each other to the point of ritualistic cannibalism. In true method acting fashion, they had started talking like each other outside the set. But then, Fuma had carefully erased all traces of Nicholas on his tongue in a matter of seconds after they were done shooting, and Nicholas was left wondering if his Japanese would remain imprinted by Fuma’s inflections.
Amid their film press tour, Nicholas and Fuma find themselves hailed as the Internet’s new favorite showmance. On screen, they’re perfect. Off-screen? They can’t seem to stand each other.

Summary
Nicholas believes that moving to a new city and starting over from nothing might quiet the parts of himself that have felt unfamiliar since his brain injury. And in some ways, it does.
But there are nights when that sense of ease does not come from the city or from anything he has built for himself there. It comes from the painter across the balcony, whose presence begins to feel like the one thing that reach him where his own mind cannot.
