Summary
His analytical mind always saw right through you—except for the moments it counted.
Call it a blind spot or a miscalculation, you were sure it was just an oversight in the demands of his real job. A job where you were not and could not be front and center. Never second, either. At least that's how you felt chasing the back of his ghost.

A collection of short snippets as I try to piece together a narrative, potential long form work if it's enjoyable enough.
Decided to post all of them at once, but I'll update as I make more. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks! -

Summary
Kim Dokja was supposed to stay hidden in the details, lost between the lines, and forgotten in the cosmos. Life has other plans when a distant relative dies and leaves him with her child, Lee Gilyoung.
This is the tale of your run of the mill average salary man and his journey of being a father when he never wanted to be one.
Ah, plus the very attractive newly divorced ( and depressed ) Yoo Joonghyuk who comes barreling into his life with baggage. Not one but multiple things are overturned.
At the end of the day, this story is about grief, pain, and the scars that shape you.
( I may rewrite this summary who tf knows )

Summary
Every bitter story starts out with the smoke of a cigarette, something significant in the way the ash falls and dissolves in the puddles of urine and rainwater dripping from the rooftops. It’s a scene straight out of a movie, a body bent over hurling the night away, a hand on another drunkard’s back, hair pulled back. He thinks the city’s lineage operates on some level like this. Each arc of the story features a starry-eyed hopeful that disregards how easily the fast-paced grit of a city can eat you up alive. There’s no such things as happy endings, not the kind of happy that appears in the story books, it’s more of an almost than an absolute. You can almost be happy if you have enough money, but that won’t remove the scars that tie you here. You can almost be happy if someone loves you, but that won’t stop them from disappointing you. Perhaps he’s something of a pessimist, or maybe he’s just seen too much.

Summary
There are moments hidden between the lines of reality, somewhere in the pages of the book and somewhere just past the gaps between your fingers. Life is never easy, growing up is never easy, and dreaming... is never easy. Not for Kim Dokja and not for Yoo Joonghyuk. They are living in a fantasy in their heads, living within the means of what it means to never grow up and to grow up too fast. This is a story of people who come together and fall apart, a story of those who reconnect, the complex nature of intimacy, friendship, and what it means to truly... dream.

Summary
everyone has a story that makes them who they are, everyone has a vice that they battle with because not every virtue can make you whole. it's these circumstances that truly make you... or break you.
aki hayakawa knows way too well what obsession can do to a person, but that doesn't make him give up on finding the culprit of his family's murder, a cold case now forgotten by the public at large. and angel is just trying to make ends meet in a new city he never wanted to go to, but a fresh start is a fresh start. they both have things they want to remember and things they want to forget.
this is the story of two people simply lost within their own circumstances just hoping to find a way out.

Summary
“Here’s the thing: he thinks she’s beautiful. Not beautiful in the conventional Hyuuga way – because there is a Hyuuga kind of beautiful. Hanabi has it. Neji had it. It’s a kind of straight-backed, hollowed-out beauty that promises to sear you if you get too close. But not Hinata.” - Uchiha Sasuke and Hyuuga Hinata. The familiarity of ghosts.
