    Summary

    “She was asking if you were taken.”

    Yoo Joonghyuk stops walking, and turns back at him. In the golden flush of sunset, his eyes are a warm, deep brown. “What did you tell her?”

    Kim Dokja breathes out, releasing a plume of white between them. "That we're married with three kids. Can you believe she didn't want to hear about how our youngest is starting kindergarten soon?”

    They break up, but Kim Dokja can't afford to move out just yet. Thankfully, Yoo Joonghyuk doesn't mind him freeloading for a while longer. It’s temporary. It’s practical.

    It’s also the worst idea he’s ever had.

    Summary

    A low voice speaks in his ear, provoking another tremble, his breath catching. “Kim Dokja, are you awake?”

    It's been a long day. The last thing Kim Dokja needs is someone barging into his tent to keep him from some well-deserved rest. Predictably, Yoo Joonghyuk doesn't care and comes inside anyway.

    And then he comes inside something else.

    Summary

    “Have you been having any weird nightmares lately?” Kim Dokja later asks when Yoo Joonghyuk returns to the room.

    Standing there at the threshold, he falters. “...you too?"

    In a world without Scenarios, Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk find themselves dreaming about another life.

    Summary

    Kim Dokja wasn’t about to tell people that he was only alive because he really, really wanted to see how Yoo Joonghyuk dealt with Gong Pildu for sneaking around behind his back again. It was just pathetic.

    Author-nim, I love your story! I had a bad day today, but seeing Joonghyuk-ie doing well always comforts me. If you don't update tomorrow, I'll kill myself.

    ...okay, obviously he didn't actually say that last part.

    Even before he existed, Yoo Joonghyuk's story had changed Kim Dokja's life.

    Summary

    Luo Binghe has been good to him so far. There’s no reason to be scared of him, even if the night makes him look so eerie. So, Shen Yuan takes a deep breath. “The woodshed has some kind of demonic energy around it, Luo-shixiong.”

    “It does?” Luo Binghe doesn’t even glance at it. His eyes are doing that strange thing where they don’t seem to catch the light, swallowed by shadow no matter the angle. “Well, I suppose that would make sense.”

    After spending three years away from Qing Jing, Shen Yuan returns to meet Luo Binghe—an outcasted, but sweet boy. There's something unsettling about him, and Shizun despises him, but Shen Yuan likes this new shixiong a little too much to care.

    Summary

    “You do it to yourself,” he commands, looking every bit as regal and proud as a king on his throne.

    “But then, how will you get off?” Kim Dokja asks again, raising his eyebrows.

    Yoo Joonghyuk frowns at him for even daring to question him. “By watching.”

    "...I can't tell if you're a voyeur, or just a pervert."

    The routine in the First Murim is a simple one. Yoo Joonghyuk trains under the Breaking the Sky Sword Saint until he's sore enough to fall asleep standing, and beyond.

    Somehow, this doesn't stop him from bending Kim Dokja over with any chance he gets.

    Summary

    When he notices the Banger—a fondly nicknamed 1988 Hyundai Excel that's clearly been beaten within an inch of its life—parked up on the side of the road with FOR SALE!!! scrawled over the windshield, Kim Dokja falls in love with it. “Look at the state of it,” he reasons. “They’ll be glad to just have it gone, right?”

    “I can’t even drive yet,” says Yoo Joonghyuk, clearly the only one with braincells. He ends up buying the Banger anyway.

    Growing up, and growing with you. The moment Yoo Joonghyuk meets Kim Dokja at his new high school, he has no idea that this will be the person he'll choose to spend the rest of his life with.

    Summary

    In the end, they clean up together. It's mainly Yoo Joonghyuk balling up the sheets and gathering their discarded clothes whilst Kim Dokja cheers him on from the bare mattress. If someone's sock coincidentally ends up thrown right in his stupid, crowing face, then Yoo Joonghyuk takes full credit for such perfect aim.

    "You were loud today," he tells Kim Dokja. Loud; loud-er. They know what it means. "Did you enjoy it that much?"

    Yoo Joonghyuk understands Kim Dokja well enough to know him in this way, and every other. That's why he's the one that gets to fuck him.

    Summary

    “Do you regret it?” Yoo Joonghyuk asks, after an aeon of silence. His eyes are sullen and devastating, and Kim Dokja cannot look away.

    He brushes away his tears with a soft laugh. “Do you want me to?”

    “I don’t regret it,” Yoo Joonghyuk tells him. His hands are steady, his voice firm, but his lips tremble. “So you shouldn't either.”

    Summary

    They’re just about to head out when Han Sooyoung asks, “Hey, wait, I think you guys are forgetting something. How can you fight if you're stuck to each others' asses? Isn’t that too much of a handicap?”

    “...it doesn’t matter,” Yoo Joonghyuk decides all on his own.

    With a scenario forcing them into close proximity, Kim Dokja seriously doubts his chance of surviving with his sanity intact.

    Summary

    The Wanderers are all fond of this tiny, young Kim Dokja, amazed by how different he is to his adult self, but he is unequivocally shy and runs away from their attention. He doesn't want to do anything other than stick to Lee Sookyung's side like ivy.

    Truly, it's exactly like being a stay at home mother again. Hearing this, Cho Youngran laughs.

    “Isn’t it every mother’s dream to go back to those times?” she says, half-serious, half-joking.

    After a Scenario goes wrong, Kim Dokja ends up back as his toddler self, young and naive in the midst of a ruined future. No matter how estranged, as his mother, it only makes sense that Lee Sookyung takes over his care.

    Summary

    “You can’t just shove me around like that,” Kim Dokja insists. His stance is an attempt at confidence, but his stubbornly crossed arms only draw attention to the pale, shifting gaps between his shirt buttons, the nervous flex of his muscles. “We’re close, aren’t we? We can talk these things out like civilized people.”

    Slowly, Yoo Joonghyuk drags his eyes back up to his face. It's like Kim Dokja is doing it on purpose.

    Yoo Joonghyuk and Kim Dokja can’t decide whether to fight or face what's between them. Yet out of the two of them, Yoo Joonghyuk definitely has it worse.

    Summary

    Celine says it so easily: "Rumi-yah, hide it until we can fix you."

    It's her skin... Damnit, it's in her skin, where Rumi can't reach with her nails to claw it out.

    The most sickening thing about Rumi is her appetite.

    Summary

    Kim Dokja eyes the books with some wariness. As far as he’s aware, he’s never really had a passion for reading.

    It’s his biggest flaw right now, the one that is steadily making them all more suspicious. They pretend otherwise for the sake of peace, but every day that goes by without his nose stuck in a web novel or a book is a day that they get closer to admitting that something is wrong.

    ...in the end, he's really too different to the original 'Kim Dokja', isn't he?

    Forty-nine percent of Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk have a talk.

    Summary

    Laying on a spread of pilfered blankets, the Yoo Joonghyuk of this 1863rd turn lifts his head up to the empty night sky. Few stars remain up there, and if there are any left, they’re hiding in fear.

    Kim Dokja would think he was scrutinizing the constellations brave enough to let their light shine, but Yoo Joonghyuk’s eyes are almost closed. Whatever he’s looking at, he’s not seeing.

    “Yoo Joonghyuk,” he finds himself calling out.

    Not a single twitch. Inside, Kim Dokja sighs.

    Despite what Kim Dokja will have you believe, the 1863rd regression wasn't easy on anybody, let alone himself.

    Summary

    "Are you not uncomfortable like that?” Kim Dokja asks.

    On the other side of the box, Yoo Joonghyuk, back hunched in a truly odd shape, sighs in frustration. “What do you think?”

    Kim Dokja curls up tighter into his ball, as if that could possibly create enough space to accommodate all of Yoo Joonghyuk. All it does is earn him a particularly disdainful look, but he continues undeterred, “It’s because you’re trying to sit upright. You can just lay down over here, next to me. What's the problem?”

    Without even turning his head fully, Yoo Joonghyuk shoots him an incredulous glance.

    A misstep leads to Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk being trapped into a box for who-knows how long, forcing them to reconcile. They go a bit further than that.

    Summary

    Sat on the ground by Yoo Joonghyuk's hospital bed, Kim Dokja wonders. The truth is that they're nothing more than intimate strangers, a fact that sends his mind into dizzying circles.

    Ah, Yoo Joonghyuk, he thinks wearily, leaning his head against the metal bed frame, we're in real trouble.

    TWSA will always be a novel. But, as Kim Dokja is beginning to realize, Yoo Joonghyuk is not just a character—and he isn't just a reader.

    Summary

    "You want to take someone back to the Cloud Recesses?" Lan Xichen repeats, his voice surprised.

    "Take him back and hide him somewhere. But he is not willing."

    Lan Xichen doesn't say anything back immediately. In that brief moment, they both think of the same thing: a field of gentian flowers, and a door that will never open again.

    The Yiling Laozu dies in a siege led by the cultivation world, and Lan Wangji lives to see the aftermath.

    Summary

    Kim Dokja looks up at him and watches. Inexplicably, he looks a little afraid as he stands there waiting for Yoo Joonghyuk to say something.

    Yoo Joonghyuk keeps his gaze for a long, silent moment. He’s torn between leaning forward and pulling away.

    “Welcome home, Kim Dokja,” he says instead, without meaning to.

    The search for Kim Dokja ends, but the Company is still waiting.
