Of Euijoo looking where he shouldn’t look, Nicholas taking it as an invitation to get under his skin and Euijoo scrambling to pull him back out of there, knowing fully well he’ll always let him in the next time he tries.Two decades of Euijoo's life and its blessing/curse that is Nicholas.

Summary
With his eyes still closed he can see him clearly. The buzzcut would make the pink flush painting his skin more visible than ever, all the way up to his ears and long slender neck.
“Juju, talk to me, come on…”
A shuddering exhale, Euijoo appears to struggle for words, the first thing that makes it through is: “I don’t know what to say… I’m not good at stuff like that.”
Adorable. Nicholas is hard as a rock. “How about you tell me whether you’ve been thinking about me? I, for one, have been thinking about you a whole lot, just so you know…”Euijoo had to leave for his military enlistment. His boyfriend takes it well.

Summary
“No, I mean, why do you care? I’m an alien, Nichol, why do you care about me, I don’t get it. You have hundreds of soldiers to worry about, from your own planet. Why are you here, with me.”
The question was so ridiculous and, frankly, out of place for them. Nicholas had thought that they'd left the why and how and all that behind. That they had a deal.
“I-, I just do.” -

Summary
Sometimes He answers, sometimes He doesn’t, there surely are more important things between heaven and earth than two unruly priests being partnered up. What could go wrong.
After a single week, the lives of three priests, two nuns, two owners of an antiques shop and two tattoo artists will never be the same again. There may or may not be several not so human beings among them. Questions of faith, existence, identity, past, present and future demand answers.
or: Fuma as the head of Padua's exorcism order who flies Nicholas in to be Euijoo's partner, Harua and Yuma are nuns as well as exorcists, Yudai and Taki as siblings who run an antiques shop, Maki and Jo are tattoo artists. Most of them are tatted tf up with all kinds of piercings. They're also fucking.

Summary
Euijoo and Nicholas just wanted to go camping when suddenly, on a narrow mountain road, a castle appears, with no way back and no way around it. The only way out is indeed, through.
Now they just have to be careful not to lose their heads.
But as the Cheshire Cat once said: Oh, you can't help that, we're all mad here. -

Summary
"We can’t help what we are Euijoo, no one can. So yeah, if I kill people because I wanna live, there‘s nothing wrong with that.“
When Euijoo doesn’t answer fast enough Nicholas scoffs. "Go ahead, judge me. Fact is, both of us have the same choice: eat or kill ourselves. I just made peace with mine.“
"I’m not judging you.“
"Yes you are.“
"I‘m not.“
"I don’t care.“
"Do you want me to go?“ Every word feels wrong.
Nicholas finally looks at him, exhales smoke, inhales as if he’s about to give a long speech, exhales again, this time just air and one word. "No.“ -

Summary
The idol-industry is a brutal one and people cope with it in various ways. Euijoo is trying to navigate the strange relationship with his sexuality, image, desires and Nicholas.
Intimacy was scary to him, in the way that it caused serious damage to the comforting shell he and strangers had built around him.

Summary
Called by strange dreams, Euijoo arrives at the mill in the dead of winter. But it's not just milling him and the other apprentices are learning here. Soon enough he's caught in a seemingly never-ending cycle and has to decide if there's something left in this world worth fighting for.
The dead are dead and whoever dies at the mill is forgotten as if he never existed, that’s the only way life goes on. And it has to go on.
