Summary
Jinu has been Gwi-Ma's slave for centuries.
A pet, equally tortured and prized. He doubted he'd ever be let out of his cage.
Until the day he finds himself offered up as a gift—tribute, bribe, trap—to the demon lord's heir, a Hunter-raised half-blood demon called Rumi who hates him and what he represents on-sight. He half-expects her to send him back to the Underworld in pieces.
Rumi sees his presence as a death sentence for her. It's becoming hard enough to hide her patterns from Mira and Zoe. How is she supposed to hide a demon-gift sent by the demon lord of the Underworld?
He's clearly a trap, one that leaves her with no good choices. Every subsequent decision seems to magnify her patterns and drag her deeper into her demon heritage.
What to do? Hide him? Kill him? Contain him? Or...help him?
Could a demon with no feelings really deserve her help? Or is there more to it than she's been led to believe? And is trying to find out really worth the risk to Rumi, her friends, and the Honmoon?

Summary
Jinu can’t leave without Gwi-Ma’s permission, but sometimes he stands under the open and roiling sky and watches the barrier cascade in musical waves overhead, thousands of glimmering blue filaments that undulate with deceptive delicacy, offering, if even for a second, a glimpse of an overworld that rouses itself to song. It is not lost on Jinu that he serves a warped inverse of that purpose down here.
But demons don’t flock to his music. They shy away from it, wilting rather than blooming, because on a very literal level they understand that his voice isn’t for them. Gwi-Ma is a jealous god, and he cannot abide it if the rewards that his gifts reap don’t return to him, always, in the end.
Or: In which Jinu makes choices (a real mixed bag of them), trips into a situationship, regrets everything, lies to himself and others, and decides he wants to be a better person after all, actually—not necessarily in that order.

Summary
Beneath the lights of the K-pop stage and behind the glamour spells lies the truth: the Saja Boys are demons, once bound to darkness, now living half-lives under mortal stars. From their tragic backstories and the day they first met in the underworld, to Jinu’s harrowing role as Gwi Ma’s chosen tormentor and reluctant heir, every step led to the Afterlight. This series follows their journey: how they became monsters, how they survived, and how they’re learning, slowly, painfully, hilariously, to be something more.
