    Summary

    He had a feeling Kim Dokja had not nearly been this dazzling before the scenarios. He'd first appeared in a tattered suit, the material cheap under his fingers. There had been heavy bags under his eyes, his wrists so thin Joonghyuk knew he could've shattered them, before he'd gained stats.
    A man who could go from nothing to everything — it was beyond mystifying. But Yoo Joonghyuk supposed even the dimmest of lights could be brilliant in the dark.

    In which Yoo Joonghyuk finds a star, only to have it torn away from him over and over again.

    Summary

    “Not bad,” he said finally, with the grace of a man who’d begrudgingly admit to enjoying the sun after denying the need for warmth his entire life.

    “Not—” Dokja choked on a laugh, flabbergasted. “You. You’re eating with your hands.”

    “Obviously.”

    “You’re eating cake with your hands. You—you—who separates your chopsticks by millimeters when they’re uneven. Who rewashes knives someone else already washed because ‘they missed a spot.’ The picky cook and the picky eater. You. You’re eating like a toddler.”

    Joonghyuk licked a bit of chocolate off his thumb without batting an eye.

    OR

    Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk share a special night on the eve of a certain someone's birthday, where making love in a big house on a hill and falling asleep in the embrace of eternity is more than they could ever ask for.

    Summary

    [And your other reward?] Plotter pushed. [Though I am not required to provide it, as it wasn’t in our agreement. Let me hear it.]

    Dokja's eyes shook. “Have sex with me, Plotter.”

    Upon Kim Dokja's return from the 1863rd turn, he makes an undeniable request. The Secretive Plotter is more than willing to give it to him, but at what cost?

    Summary

    "So you're the couple booked for the honeymoon suite! Congratulations!"

    Only his survival instincts, honed after years of working for Daydream, stops Kim Dokja from reflexively denying the unknown entity's words. Her unnaturally white eyes zero in on their clasped hands. Neither of them has a death wish; it is clear what must be done.

    "Thank you. We're ready to check into our room."

    "Wonderful! Please step forward and I will hand you the room keys!"

    They do so and two keys appear before them.

    "The honeymoon suite is one of the best rooms we have! The suite is fully stocked, but please feel free to phone the front desk should you find that you need something."

    Fire rushes to his face.

    "T-thank you."

    "Oh, you're cute! Your husband is very lucky to have you!"

    An arm snakes itself around his waist as his roommate answers in a soft, gentle voice.

    "I am indeed lucky to have him."

    Dear god, he might actually die in this ghost story after all.

    Kim Dokja grows close to his beloved Agent Yoo Joonghyuk and they get mistaken as married.
