    Summary

    Nine bodies. Nine people the system protected. Detective Kim Junseo has been first on scene for all of them — and he cannot explain why he keeps finding the staging beautiful.
    Zhang Jiahao draws the dead for a living. He's been brought in as a consultant. He already knows where every scar is.

    Still water runs deep. Still water also kills.

    Inspired by the Korean drama Strangers from Hell and Chinese drama Under the Skin

    Summary

    Zhang Jiahao understands people the way a surgeon understands anatomy — completely, clinically, and at the precise moment it is no longer useful to them.
    Kim Junseo is not research material. He says so, plainly, on a Tuesday.
    This is a problem.

    Summary

    Jiahao has traveled the world, seen skyscrapers graze the clouds, and stood in the center of a thousand spotlights. But he’s realized too late that nothing is quite as beautiful as a first kiss in worn-out gray sweatpants.

    Now, he’s back with black hair, a box of unsent letters, and a desperate hope that Junseo is still open to a "maybe."

     

    Or, It took losing Junseo for Jiahao to realize he’s been living in a monochrome world, color-graded by a company that doesn't care if he breathes. Now, with the silver dye washed out of his hair and fourteen letters of raw, bleeding honesty in his hands, he’s standing at the edge of the only life he ever truly wanted.

    "I am so profoundly, devastatingly grateful that you left me. Because I was too busy being a star to be a man for you."

     

    Based on a real breakup.

    Summary

    Jiahao has been cataloguing Junseo for three years.
    The way he laughs. The way he finds people in rooms without looking. The way he says "okay" like it means something more every single time.
    He's very good at pretending it's nothing.
    Junseo, it turns out, has been doing the exact same thing.
    This is not a story about getting caught.
    This is a story about choosing to be seen.
