    Summary

    Joonghyuk forces his lips to part and speak. “Kim Dokja,” he rasps, sounding out the shape of his companion’s voice, savouring it one last time. The other leans in closer, to better hear what he has to say. It takes all that’s left of him to grit out,

    “I'm dying.”

    A gentle, scarred palm presses against his forehead, cooling his sore temples immediately, and Dokja laughs. You fool, Joonghyuk wants to say. This is not a joke.

    “Joonghyuk-ah,” Dokja says, mirth and fondness laced between the syllables. “Have you never gotten a fever before?”

    Summary

    Kim Dokja has always known that his soulmate has no interest in him. For Yoo Joonghyuk, renowned Ways of Survival esport champion, a psychic bond to some random desk jockey must be the most boring part of his life. It’s vexing, but Kim Dokja gets it.

    Until the day he learns that Yoo Joonghyuk never even knew the bond was there.

    What follows is a brand-new professional career, a journey through the memories of his long and checkered past with Yoo Joonghyuk, and a secret identity that really shouldn’t matter as much as it does.

    Summary

    Yoo Joonghyuk and Kim Dokja's communication skills leave a lot to be desired, but as millennials, you'd think they'd at least remember to check their messages.

    Or: a look at what canon could have been if Midday Tryst had been used more often.

    Summary

    A new hidden scenario has arrived, and Kim Dokja has been chosen to model in a 3-part runway competition.

    What a hilariously ironic choice for the Ugliest King.

    Oh, but wait, the physical censoring will be removed?!

    Maybe Kim Dokja does stand a chance after all.

    (ft dressing rooms, scowling sunfish, an excessive use of the '~' symbol, smitten audience members, and a final love confession.)
