Summary
"Juwon-ah," Dongsik calls out. Juwon pauses. The cigarette burns away in his fingers. He can only taste the sweet tang of smoke in his mouth now, and the words, bitter, "I'm sorry, for what I said last night. I haven't been very kind to you."
Juwon doesn't meet his eyes. "No, you haven't."
He steps back inside.
Dongsik learns what to do with his nightmares, and allows himself to want, and to let go.

Summary
To an outsider, Han Ju-won might be seen maintaining his poise and structure, might be seen as an indestructible and an unshakeable force. But, only Ju-won knows that his is a very trembling architecture — emotions and thoughts and memories balanced precariously over each other; one word from Lee Dong-sik and it would spill everywhere for everyone to see.
If he wants his trembling architecture to no longer be rootless, if he wants to tell Lee Dong-sik that his life is the only soil Ju-won’s roots want to settle in, he is going to have to see him, and talk — no matter how quickly his arms sink down to his feet in front of him — no matter how much the thought of being unarmed scares the fuck out of him.
Han Ju-won is going to have to take the first step forward to tell Lee Dong-sik, to tell the only person allowed to make him feel this way, that he is waiting for him on the other side of things, and he will wait as long as it takes for Dong-sik to be ready to meet him in the middle.

Summary
It takes months for Joo Won to first mention Lee Dong Sik—although the therapist obviously knows more of his history than either of them acknowledges. After that, the therapist asks Joo Won, in the middle of unrelated anecdotes, “Does that remind you of Lee Dong Sik?” or “Is that how Lee Dong Sik made you feel?”
--A story about stones, unturning and returning them.
