Summary
"I’ve always wanted the upper hand in love. I wanted people to fear the possibility that I might not love them back. But it was all a projection.” Heeseung's voice breaks apart, scattering in the breeze. “I’m the one who’s afraid. I’m the one who wants to be ruined.”
Sunoo laughs. He laughs breathlessly, gleefully; he laughs the way one does at something incredible, something so inconceivable that it could only be the product of some delirious imagining. "So," he begins, his voice trembling, "what do you want me to do about it?"
When the time comes for the village to make another sacrifice to the devil in the castle, it's Sunoo they send up the mountain and into the lion's den [there is no such thing as monsters]. In another life, Heeseung and Sunoo have a perfectly cliche meet cute in the middle of a coffee shop, and begin navigating their fragile, blossoming relationship [there is no such thing as love at first sight].
