    Summary

    How old is Yoo Joonghyuk?

    It’s not a real question.

    The real question, the one that Kim Dokja refuses to ask him is—

    How many of the long, long years that he’s been alive is he willing to call his life?

    /

    Or: Yoo Joonghyuk's birthday is coming up. Kim Dokja, for some reason, starts doing math.

    Summary

    If this, this violence, this foolishness, these broken promises, this endless cycle of death and sacrifice and death and sacrifice and death and sacrifice—if this is the only thing that has ever looked to Kim Dokja like love, then Yoo Joonghyuk doesn’t want to know what he thinks of as hatred.

    He doesn’t want to know how far he’d have to go, to make Kim Dokja hate him.

    /

    (Or: Yoo Joonghyuk tries to make Kim Dokja hate him. It seems to be an impossible task.)

    Summary

    Kim Dokja grasps at his hands desperately. “Joonghyuk-ah. Was this not the world you wanted?”

    “What?”

    “Did I dream it wrong? Is that it? Is that why you’re so sad all the time? Do you—do you want me to dream it differently?”

    /

    (Post epilogue, Kim Dokja gets too caught up in his own head. He thinks that maybe, he should never have been here at all.)

    Summary

    Shang Qinghua has long since resigned himself to a purely professional relationship with Mobei-jun. So what if his romantic feelings aren't returned? He does a damned good job of running the northern palace, and that, at least, will never change.

    Right?
