Summary
In the sterile silence of a lab, Jaemin’s reflection starts to breathe. He tells himself that he’s helping science progress, but the more his clone learns to speak, it will also start to want, blurring the lines between subject and self.
He built something that was never supposed to love him, and Jaemin doesn’t know which is worse: that it does, or that he wants it to.

Summary
“I,” Yangyang proudly proclaims with all the grandeur of a town crier announcing the arrival of royalty. “Am a baku.”
Renjun’s brow furrows. Huh?
"A bak-what?"
"A baku," Yangyang corrects. “Meng mo. Otherwise known as a dream eater. An ancient, mythological creature that’s been a friend to children and nightmare sufferers since the dawn of time."
Renjun takes the opportunity to scan him up and down. Yangyang's hair is an absolute mess, almost like he spent the night outdoors sleeping on Renjun's doorstep, which Renjun supposes he did. He's dressed in baggy, tie-dyed jeans today, paired with a bleached denim jacket, and is wearing a ratty university-brand hoodie underneath it. There's orange potato chip dust down his front.
"Right," Renjun deadpans.
(or: Desperate to vanquish his nightmares, Renjun turns to a self-professed sleep specialist for help. What he ends up finding is his literal dream boy, and so much more.)

Summary
Well, fuck. No one tells you how to cope with your husband waking up and thinking you're a hookup he can't remember bringing home. No one prepares Jaemin for this.
As Jeno's world fades away, Jaemin's just barely clinging on to his own. Amidst the chaos which befalls their marriage, Jaemin continues to love the man who will one day no longer love him, no matter how hard either of them wishes for that day to never come.
