    Summary

    Joonghyuk's stomach did something he did not approve of as Lee Seolhwa nudged past Dokja, reaching to take a kebab for herself. He knew it wasn't the woman he had lost. He had accepted that. Still, sometimes his heart would ache when he saw her, like a bad knee during a thunderstorm. Would that be Dokja, one day? Another ghost in a line of ghosts? That was assuming he even showed up in the next round. Was it better or worse, if there could only ever be one of him…?

    It was a sobering reminder. Joonghyuk watched them talk with a hollow feeling settling into his body, reality sliding harshly back into place. It had been foolish to indulge any part of this. The smart thing was to forget.

    Summary

    Yoo Joonghyuk clicked [Start Stream] for the first time. He didn’t say anything, focused solely on his gameplay. The only sound in stream was the keys clacking, mouse clicks, and faint game sound inputs. The visuals? Only his handcam and gameplay were visible.

    He didn’t know what he was expecting. So what if he enjoyed games? Even if he was pretty good at them, he was no entertainer. He glanced at his stream setup screen.

    Summary

    Yoo Joonghyuk looked over at his words, and Dokja met his gaze with a little smile. There was that expression again. His eyes dark and commanding, pinning him to the spot. His sweep of hair fell over, and Dokja fought the urge to brush it to the side.

    His heart raced. A prickling heat spread over his chest.

    What was going on here? Why was he feeling like this?

    Could it be-

    Oh no.

    Oh no.

    Kim Dokja is vexed when his chief editor assigns him the publication's next big story - a feature on the rising esports star: Yoo Joonghyuk. For some mystifying reason, she insists on him putting his absolute all into this piece, despite the pro gamer being possibly the most difficult person he has ever met.

    Summary

    You're bad at fighting.
    Kim Dokja could barely make out the dark splotches on his arm as words. At first, he thought they were just more bruises.
    But even at six years old, hiding in the bathroom as he pretended not to hear his father shouting just outside the door...
    Kim Dokja could read.


    In a without scenarios alternate universe, everyone has a soulmate, one other person who they are fated to share the marks of the world with. It's common for young soulmates to contact one another by writing messages on their skin, but because of the way Kim Dokja's childhood was, he never wrote to his soulmate except to say goodbye.

    A decade and a half later, his soulmate still writes to him. Yoo Joonghyuk uses his arm like a diary and Kim Dokja knows practically everything there is to know about his soulmate and still refuses to contact him.

    What will happen when he is forced to confront the man he's been avoiding his entire life face to face?
