Summary
Jungwon wakes to a life he never chose, haunted by a hunger he can’t control. He didn’t ask to be turned, and Jay, the cold, calculating vampire who takes him in, definitely didn’t ask to babysit a fledgling.
Unfortunately (or not), fate doesn’t care what either of them wants.

Summary
“You’re killing them,” Jungwon repeats.
A beat passes. To Jungwon’s immense surprise, the god steps back, until only his sandals are touching the ground.
“Apologies.” The sound of his voice is startling. It is deep and hoarse, rattling from his throat as if it has not been put into use for a while. “Is that better?”
(or: sheltered in the world of the living and numb to the life that surrounds him, jungwon learns what it truly means to be alive when the god of death, jay, stumbles upon his garden)

Summary
He lifts his head up. He’s not supposed to— he knows that— but he does it anyway. The statue of his god has a chiseled jaw and a prominent, tall nose. He is beautiful in ways that the human is not. That he likely could not ever be.
Jungwon envies him, but he remains with his head lifted, spine still pressed low. It aches and burns in places he’s never felt such excruciating pain, but he wants to be seen as he asks this of his god. To, at the very least, say this voice that pleads is mine, no one else’s.
“And please bless me…with a torch to illuminate this unfamiliar road. Light to guide me. Fire to warm me. A sign or a symbol of your blessing, so that I know the fate that lies ahead of me is one you have so benevolently bestowed, just like your presence.”
The bells at the entryway of the temple jingle— and this time, it sounds like a laugh.

Summary
The moon doesn’t really know what it means to be in love – to want, to burn, to give life and watch over death. So he asks.
