    Summary

    “Are you Braun?” He asks, his voice cutting through the silence of the night. For such a beautiful scene, it is not accompanied by any familiar sounds or smells, breaking through the illusion. “Am I dreaming?”

    The silhouette of the television head comes closer, and Braun replies in that smooth, charismatic voice that is little more than a rumbling whisper with an undercurrent of electrical hum. A voice literally made to be adored by the masses, “I am your Good Friend, come to visit.”

     

    (Kim Soleum and Braun finally have a long overdue talk after the events of 208.)

    It was different compared to the lights on his show—usually dim and unintrusive to make sure the animals didn’t spook while they filmed them—and it entranced him deeply that his friend could look so at home underneath all kinds of lights.

    “You don’t look like a Park,” Jaekwan says, too serious.

    “...okay. Then we’re at number four. Choi.”

    Jaekwan, who is finally indulging him in an attempt to make this go over faster, tilts his head and considers him.

    “Maybe,” he decides. “But that’s too ominous.”

    Figuring out what to name yourself is harder than you'd think.

    Within the doctrine of the Church of the Luminous Unknown, from its very origin there is an inherent contradiction:
    Happy Ending Sect

    —Those too weak to accept this truth may seek escape through death, but there is no true salvation.

    Death is no escape.
    there is no running from Ireum-nim.

    Therefore, death
    ► Cannot be happiness.
    ► Cannot be an ending.

    Summary

    “Ah! People!” The kid— a little boy— speaks with heavy breaths and a harried tone. He seems to have dashed all the way here.

    He doesn’t bother to pause for introductions as he points down the hall in the direction he came from, directly across from where Saheon had turned into the space.

    “There! Over there is a talking rabbit!” When Saheon looks closer, he realizes this kid looks terrified. The warehouse had reminded him of Soleum, but there’s no way this wimpy, twiggy child is the ruthless man he knows and loathes.

    Saheon and Yeongeun are thrown into a Darkness with a Soleum that's at much less than full capacity... Which is obvious, given that he's been turned into a child.

    Locked Boxcar

    :A ghost story featured in <Dark Exploration Records>

    :Daydream Inc. identification code Qterw-D-512

    A pair of black quartz die with gold leaf pips that will always roll pairs. Once rolled, everyone within 15 metres of the roll participates in the Challenge Game. For each person, a new challenge must be met.

    It was meant to be an easy challenge. A quick pop in to a nearly-Twilight-class Darkness for a high-value reward. Kim Soleum did not anticipate Braun to be counted as a participant.

    “Jaekwan-ah, won’t you slow down a bit?”

    He laughed nervously. He was in denial of what was happening despite the obvious intentions.

    Choi panted out breathily hot against Jaekwan’s skin.

    “I don’t think you understand what you’re—” Choi’s voice halted, stuck in his throat.

    Jaekwan did not stop.


    The object of Jaekwan's affections was an alpha.

    The secrets he thinks he’s keeping well?

    He’s not from the world of the Darkness Exploration Records.

    And also:

    Kim Soleum is a massive coward.

    The trouble with these two secrets, these hidden truths, is that because they remain in the forefront of his mind… They’re quite easy for Darknesses (Disasters, now that Soleum’s working at the Bureau) to grab a hold of.

    “Now~”

    Agent Choi was smiling at them, eyes curved and tone lilting.

    “Who was it that assigned my cute little junior to the mountain lodge?”

    Summary

    Every remaining word of protest dies an immediate death on Soleum’s tongue. He stares up at his brother like his arm has been cut off.

    He’s home. Soleum is home. Isn’t this the very place he has been fighting to get back to for over two years? He swallows, throat suddenly thick with clouded-up longing. Home is what he spent two years risking fates worse than death for, and home is what he’s finally achieved.

    “Okay,” Soleum says helplessly. His younger brother’s lips curve into a satisfied smile, and Soleum’s heart settles somewhat at the sight.

    OR; Soleum goes home. He adjusts easily, of course; because why wouldn't he, in a world without death chasing at his heels?

    [What brings you here today, Agent?]

    It’s a question born of courtesy alone. They both know why the agent is here. Why he keeps coming back, over and over, his own life too fallen apart for him to pretend he still wants to keep it.

    “I wonder,” Agent Choi says, still smiling. “Perhaps I just missed the good friend of my good friend.”

    Kim Soleum goes home. Agent Choi, for some reason, starts making regular visits to the Late Night Talk Show.

    He exhales, lifts the cigarette to his lips, and inhales again.

    Indisputably and undeniably so, Kim Soleum is a good person. The gaping wound of an arm matches the length of a stolen name. He exhales, watching hazily as the smoke fills the air and obfuscates his vision.

    Choi hates him a little for it.

    OR; Kim Soleum in Hyunmu 1, through the eyes of one Agent Choi.

    But he lacks the most important quality that any agent should have—

    The ability to know when to let someone go.

    “Took you long enough,” Choi laughed when Jaekwan shadowed his doorway. “My cute hoobae doesn’t have time for me anymore?”

    I wish.

    The bag in his hand rustled obnoxiously, a crinkling that cut through the room’s air like the too-harsh air conditioning in the hospital’s fluorescent halls.

    There's a blade gleaming at his neck, and Jaekwan's unshaking hand presses it ever closer.

    “You really were his best friend, weren’t you?” Choi asks, his smile empty.

    It makes sense.

    It was easier to love a monster, who killed without regret and tortured for entertainment, than it was to love someone like Agent Choi.

    Alone, with his team gone, Agent Choi only has a pink plushie to give him company.
