    Summary

    “Read it again,” his mother had said. And Dokja had, again and again, from every regression and every character’s viewpoint, until he knew the world of the apocalypse better than the reality genre he was stuck in. He had hated and loved each one of those characters for thirteen years, accompanied them on every step of their journey.

    So, looking down at the trembling, begging form of Kim Namwoon - how could Dokja ever let one of his precious main characters die?

    In which Kim Dokja is a little bit more open from the start and Kim Namwoon has no intention of letting this new world claim his Teacher as a sacrifice - even if that means he has to master the most difficult secret technique of all.

    Summary

    Just like that, Yoo Joonghyuk had offered Kim Dokja the only thing he could, the only thing he had, the only thing Kim Dokja cared about –himself.
    “Do you understand?”
    It was rotten work, to care for him, but Yoo Joonghyuk had never liked choosing the easy way.
    Like a beast clawing its way up his chest, the strong, overwhelming hunger surged up –for Yoo Joonghyuk, for the things he offered so freely, for his acceptance, for his care– and this time it was easier to let himself lean into it.
    He wanted the ‘afterwards’ that Yoo Joonghyuk had promised him. A life spent by Yoo Joonghyuk’s side would be…
    It would truly be ‘home’.

    Kim Dokja figures he and Yoo Joonghyuk might have to talk about... things between them. It spirals from there.

    Sequel to 'An Unforeseen Complaint'.

    Summary

    “Kim Dokja.”
    Again, the sound of his own name on Yoo Joonghyuk’s lips felt less like a curse and more like a prayer, and caught as he was, he felt whatever distance had separated them was gone. The Wall was gone, the unreadable Yoo Joonghyuk, former regressor, was gone.
    ⸢Let us walk by your side to the end.⸥
    In this weird, offset pocket of space, where no Constellation could peek in, where no foreknowledge Kim Dokja had could help, all he could read in Yoo Joonghyuk was genuine, heartfelt determination.
    “Let us catch you.”

    Amidst his confusion over the sub-scenario his Company has given him, Kim Dokja is forced to face a complaint from an unlikely source - Yoo Joonghyuk himself.

    Summary

    “Where is Secretive Plotter?” He asked with a growl and his grip became stronger around the hilt of his sword. His patience was already paper-thin.

    He had enough of that bastard, with his little games and riddles. In a way, he was just as infuriating as Kim Dokja but on a much higher level. That was one of the reasons how he found out about his true identity…

    ----

    Or: What would have happened if Yoo Joonghyuk's theory was right and Secretive Plotter was Kim Dokja from the future?
