Summary
There were demons lurking in Kim Hongjoong's life.
But as long as he was here, he won't allow those demons to swallow him whole.
Though, God forbids he thought he could ever squeeze himself into the moulds of this new life he had built around him. No way.
Because the universe didn't want to see him contented with living peacefully with his best friend, cared for by the people who loves him and release himself from the clutches of his past.
But when he starts to receive poetically disturbing notes, the message was as clear as day.
Those demons wanted him back.

Summary
Detective Park Seonghwa is the best his department has. In Port Ulsan, crime is rare, and escaping justice is rarer still, for Seonghwa misses nothing.
When high-profile politician Choi Shimu is found dead, Seonghwa takes the case. The scene offers little—shattered glass, no signs of struggle, a single stab wound to the heart. He enlists Hongjoong, a cabaret performer entwined with the victim and his family, to navigate the shadows of Shimu’s life. But when everyone lies, every acquaintance, including Hongjoong, becomes a suspect.
If that wasn’t enough of a headache, Hongjoong confesses he had planned to kill Shimu himself that night. Only to find, when he arrived at the mansion, someone had beaten him to it.

Summary
Hongjoong works at the executive lounge of Conrad Seoul Hotel as a bartender, serving the hotel's VIP guests each evening. This is where he meets Seonghwa, a guest at the hotel on a romantic getaway with his partner - or - what was supposed to be a romantic getaway with his partner, if he hadn't caught the man cheating a few weeks before.
Instead of ordering a drink at Hongjoong's bar, he requests a glass of milk to dip the cookies his mother packed him in a special breakup bag. He comes with the same request each evening, and as the nights pass, they learn more about one another, about Seonghwa's breakup, and about his hesitance to indulge in all the couple things he planned to do alone or else he'd be reminded of the breakup.
In a spur of the moment decision, Hongjoong volunteers to take his ex's place, being the boost Seonghwa needs to enjoy the trip.
And enjoy the trip, they do.

Summary
Hongjoong had always promised Seonghwa that he would show him the aurora one day, occasionally dropping by planets that were known for sightings in hopes that they would eventually be lucky. They never were.
It’s funny, really, how the things that you have wanted so dearly only seem to come to you when you stop searching so intently.(or, Hongjoong talks to the stars and finally shows Seonghwa the aurora)
