Summary
He suddenly feels sick. Sick and cold.
There was no sanctuary in this house, no place that was safe from his fathers cold and angry, all-knowing eyes. He would be found out, and he would be hurt. He would be screamed at and left to pathetically snivel at the floor.
But wouldn’t giving up now be more pathetic? He thinks, numb fingers curling more around the watch. Isn’t it better that I get hurt, instead of them?
It felt like a damnation. It felt terrifyingly right, as he slipped it into his pocket. For once, he just wanted to make a choice, one he didn’t have to be ashamed of.

Summary
Unnecessary kindness after unnecessary kindness. Sieun will never understand it. He tries to.
“Why?”
“I wouldn’t have bought it for you if I thought you were going to pay me back.”
“No, not that. Why did you buy this for me at all?” Sieun asks.
That makes Jongwoo pause. He halts in his thought, visibly mulling over his words and what to say. “You looked hungry.”
Or; during the worst period of his life, Sieun meets a stranger in a convenience store.

Summary
This moment is within the eye of the hurricane.
It’s quiet and peaceful, and Jongwoo hasn’t relaxed in so long that he can’t bring himself to want to fight it. Just in this moment, there’s no bloodshed, no paranoia, no creepy atmosphere.
Until now, Jongwoo didn’t think that was possible with Moonjo.

Summary
He still sees Suho’s face every night when he dreams. Lately, Suho hasn’t said anything to him. He hasn’t looked happy, or angry. He has just stared at Beomseok from across the street, like he’s waiting for him to cross over so they can walk home together.

Summary
"So, you want me to save you, jagi?"
After one misfortune too many, Yoon Jongwoo seeks refuge in a religious commune. The Order of Eden is a safe haven that opens its doors to all sorts of people; feeding, clothing, and 'inspiring' them. At least, that's what the brochure says.
But what awaits Jongwoo is a strange cult revolving around the whims of its equally strange leader, Seo Moonjo. A man who knows too much, stares too long, and smiles too wide. And his interest in Jongwoo seems less than pious...
(In which faith is less about seeing the light, and more about accepting the dark.)

Summary
Jongwoo is embittered by his time in Eden, but reluctant to let go of the experience (or the strangers he met there). This does not bode well for his therapist.
