    Summary

    “It feels like death,” Kim Dokja tells him.

    He isn’t even looking at Jaehwan, staring straight ahead. Kim Dokja, he’s realized, doesn’t often make eye contact. He comes and goes, as if invisible, as if he has never wanted to be where he is.

    “What does?” Jaehwan asks.

    “When you finish a book. It feels like death.”

    “It does.”

    Kim Dokja pauses, glancing in his direction. “I didn’t think you’d agree.”

    In another world, Jaehwan meets Kim Dokja on a train, and they learn to read together.

    Summary

    Yoo Joonghyuk wouldn’t let this happen, Kim Dokja thinks.

    Yoo Joonghyuk wouldn’t let this happen.

    Yoo Joonghyuk wouldn’t—

    But there’s no Yoo Joonghyuk here. There won’t ever be. All this reality has is fucked up people with fucked up morals who look away when the horrors happen in front of them and tell stories about it later.

    Summary

    “The story you see isn’t mine,” he says. “It’s just something I used to read.”

    Jaehwan lowers his sword, staring at him in shock.

    “It’s something I still read,” the man admits, quietly. “That’s what keeps it from being destroyed.”

    Or: Jaehwan attacks a random train, because of course he does. But the person he finds in it is not the evil that he'd expected.
