Summary
She saw his silhouette before she heard his footsteps, his feet as bare as hers were now, drawing slowly with his palms held up like she had anywhere to bolt. Hair still as mussed-up as it had been when she’d woken up, suit carelessly askew and black-stained in this light, eyes roving gingerly over her face. Coming to her out of the deepest blue again, as if he meant to stay when she thought she’d rather be alone, as if he wouldn’t leave when she realized she didn’t want him to.

Summary
Warmth at her lips, softer than the breath she drew in, the clench of her fingers in damp fabric before she felt the swipe of his thumb over her cheek, the motion she’d relived every night since the tent, brushing the pad of her pinky on the tracks of heat he’d seared beneath her skin.

Summary
His fingers wrap around her upper arm again before he can restrain the movement, her eyes startlingly green above the dark smudges of—
“Helly.” She clenches her jaw against whatever dart she was preparing to shoot at his neck, breathes once as if allowing for the strange intimacy of the name he can’t convince himself he’d butcher willingly a second time. “How long has it been since you slept?”

Summary
It wouldn’t have bothered her enough to pump blood into her cheeks if she hadn’t remembered him a few kicks later. That guy from the bus with the nose and the staticky rock always turned just high enough to force her to hit against the locked safety setting of her Bose because his prehistoric Walkman had no proper sound isolation. He barely ever lifted his eyes off his comic to catch her glaring at him in the window reflection.
Why the fuck was he trying to sabotage her swim?

Summary
“Excuse me, miss? Are you trying to find someone?”
“Yes, I—”
Yijin’s typing hands froze halfway through a syllable, the end of the thought drowned out by his heart. Every sound in the room seemed to fade out with the last of the pale winter light, until her voice was a candle-warm touch at his ear. -

Summary
“Baek Yijin!”
Even before he turned towards her, he knew this was only a dream.
It weren’t the colours that gave it away, the postcard gleam of the sand or the dreamy pink light on the sea. It was his own past presence lingering on the dream like a handprint, like he sometimes imagined the warmth of his touch remaining on that photo of her long after he’d tucked it away. -

Summary
So it’s really a tunnel.
The thought formed slowly, almost sullenly, like all her thoughts had since she caught the fever. Like even her own thoughts were cross with her.
It’s really a tunnel you go through when you die. -

Summary
Hong Cha Young, ace of Wusang and scourge of her enemies, is either seeing ghosts or going insane.
One ghost, to be precise—the ghost of an impeccably dressed man who appears without warning, lingers momentarily for the sole apparent reason of staring at her like she has offended him with her presence, and disappears into thin air once again.
