Summary
In a society where human worth is quantified through Merit and dictated by powerful elites, Hong Jisoo climbs his way out of the Lower City and earns the title of an Idol; a symbol of perfection. Sebong promises safety, privilege, and recognition, everything he fought for. But the higher his Merit rises, the more famous - and valuable - he becomes in ways he never anticipated.
When that value turns into something transactional, Jisoo is pulled into Sebong’s hidden system of Private Patronage, where Idols are forced into prostitution. There, he is assigned a sex tutor - Yoon Jeonghan - an Idol who has long since learned how to survive by becoming exactly what the system demands.
And soon, Joshua will end up just like him.

Summary
Steve huffs begrudgingly. He doesn’t really want to spend his Tuesday and Thursday nights watching some random kid, but arguing with his mom when she’s already made up her mind is like trying to stop a freight train with brute force. “Okay. I’ll do it.”
Tuesday comes far, far too fast.
Steve pulls up to the Byers’ house just after five, the late September sun transforming almost everything in Hawkins into shades of orange. The house is strikingly small, set back from the road with a cluttered yard and a worse for wear front porch. It certainly isn’t the place Steve usually finds himself, and he feels weirdly conspicuous as he gets out of his mom’s car. He realizes, he’s never really seen the shitty part of Hawkins too much. A small surge of rare gratefulness rushes through him.Or, when Steve takes on the job of babysitting a young Will Byers, his life changes in some various unpleasant ways.
