    Summary

    “Your highness?” it was nothing more than a whisper, but it scared Xie Lian to his core. He screamed, whipping his head in the voice’s direction.

    There, between the legs of dozens of unimpressed pedestrians, stood a man wearing crimson clothes.

    Blood. There was blood everywhere. Xie Lian could only see seas of red. He had found him.

    Before another word could escape the youth’s mouth, Xie Lian scrambled away, fear itching itself to his skin. A raw, curling scream roared out of his throat.

    But then, darkness embraced the poor man, leaving the crimson-clothed stranger alone, with Xie Lian sprawled in his solid and protective arms.

     

    TLDR: Xie Lian navigates divorce, loneliness and PTSD while learning to love and trust others.

    Summary

    The man is gripping the front of his seat as he stares out the window, and his veins look oddly familiar.

    Choi tilts his head, wondering—but he’s never forgotten someone’s veins before. He’s never not been able to identify someone that he’s already seen.

    It must just be a sense of deja vu.

    (Agent Choi runs into a man that he has never met before. There are gaps in his memories where there shouldn't be.)

    Summary

    “I’m okay,” he says in a steady voice. “But I can’t be who you’re looking for.”

    “Who do you think I’m looking for?” Agent Choi asks, voice deathly quiet. “Are you not Kim Soleum?”

    He is.

    But he’s not Kim Soleum in any way that matters.

    He’s not a Kim Soleum that can feel anything. That can do anything. That can be anything, except a shell of what a person should be.

    .

    (Two and a half years after 208, Agent Choi finds Kim Soleum working a dull desk job.)
