    Summary

    He’s still hoping as he stands before the portal back home, with Han Sooyoung’s parting gift around his shoulders. Gabriel’s symbolic body flutters weakly against his palm when he checks to make sure she’s still there. Then, he puts his hand in an inside pocket and pulls out a crumpled pack of cigarettes. He opens it, counts them out, puts them away again.

    He hopes she doesn’t hate him for taking these, either.

    Summary

    Yoo Joonghyuk ignored him. He peeked at Biyoo, now returned and snug in his hold, and his face morphed into a disturbed look, as if he’d just discovered something he didn’t know how to feel about.

    “Can,” Yoo Joonghyuk gulped, choosing his next words carefully, “males get pregnant in this universe?”

    “What?” Kim Dokja looked at Yoo Joonghyuk like he was mentally ill. “No! Do you even hear yourself, Yoo Joonghyuk?”

    When Yoo Joonghyuk dreams, he dreams of a family he’s never had and a man he comes to love as second nature.

    Summary

    ”And watch yourself, Kim Dokja.” His voice is hollow, distant. “If you look away for too long, you will lose sight of yourself, too.”

    Kim Dokja looks at himself in the puddle. Someone foreign stares back, clad in a white coat that is not his.

    or: kim dokja dreams.

    Summary

    The day had started out ordinarily, too. There were no warning signs. He had no reason to assume that getting into that elevator at his allocated leave time would be an indication that his life was to change forever. He stood in that elevator, watching the number go up. He had waited for the moment that the elevator doors would open to the severed floor again, like it did every day.

    …But that moment never came. Instead, the elevator doors opened to the forbidden place that Jung Heewon had dreamed of escaping to since the moment she joined the Macrodata Refinement Department.

    (A world where there exists a mindwipe medical procedure called "severance" to separate the consciousness of their employees between their lives at work and outside of it. One severed employee, Kim Dokja, gradually learns that he, too, is capable of being loved.)

    Summary

    Seven days later the genre of my life changed again.

    ------

    [Personal Scenario #1 - Catch Up 1 ]

    Category: Private

    Difficulty: F

    Clear Conditions: Obtain at least 1 romantic kiss. Further kisses will receive additional compensation.

    Time Limit: 1 day

    Compensation: 100 koins per kiss.

    Failure: 24 Hour Lust Effect

    ------

    It turned out this way. Making plans wouldn't have helped. Who could possibly have anticipated this?

    I stared at the scenario screen, rubbed at my eyes, read it again, and finally closed the window.

    I would just ignore it. I didn't understand, but the compensation was too low, the difficulty was insulting, and the failure cost was easily avoided. Even in the worst case scenario, ignoring it would be negligible, so why not ignore it?
