    Summary

    “That’s it?” he finally asks, his voice low and dangerous. “I almost die, and you just realize you’ve been fucking up? What’s the trick? What the hell are you plotting now?”
    Baek-Jin turns away, giving him his back. For the first time, he doesn’t seem made of stone. His shoulders are slightly slumped, his breath caught, a moment of fragility he tries to hide.
    “No” he says softly. “There’s something I want… before I let you go.”

    ---
    “Alright” he says finally, without looking at him.
    Baek-Jin watches him.
    “Alright? About what?”
    Baku lifts his gaze slightly, there’s no challenge in it, only deep, resigned fatigue.
    “I’ll have sex with you. The offer still stands, right?”
    Baek-Jin feels the world end over him in that moment.
    There’s no triumph in his eyes, only a subtle, disarming kind of shock. He understands that Baku’s agreeing not out of desire, but to set himself free.
    Free from him.

    ---

    Baku joins the Union. When he gets stabbed, Baek-Jin realizes he can't continue like this.

    Summary

    Seongje talks. About the fight with Eunjang’s, about Baekjin no longer being Choi’s golden boy. About Humin. Baekjin just closes his eyes and grits his teeth. Bears it all like he bears the pain. Thinks that he would rather have died than be this weak, and maybe that's it's his ultimate punishment. To live through every humiliating, agonizing second of it.

    “You want help with your bandages?” Seongje asks eventually. “Say please, I might even be nice about it.”

    “Fuck you.”

    It comes out soft. Hoarse. Weak. He knows Seongje will do whatever he wants anyway.

    Seongje smirks.

    Baekjin closes his eyes. Tries to breathe through the aching in his ribs and the burning in his gut.

    A moment later, something thumps on the coffee table. Baekjin looks.

    The first-aid kit.

    Seongje is kneeling, sleeves rolled up.

    “Forgot my sexy nurse costume,” he says. “I’ll bring it next time.”

    Baekjin doesn’t reply.

    He just sits still and lets Seongje start with the cut above his eyebrow. The antiseptic stings. The bandage is tight.

    Next time, Baekjin thinks.

    Summary

    30 years after the takedown of the Union, a lonely and lost Park Humin tries starting over in a small seaside town. When he arrives, he sees Na Baekjin working at a bar, no longer the person he remembers but instead a cherished member of the community. Reawakened grief and resurfaced guilt plague them both as they grapple with their past and what it could mean for their future.

    The ghost of Na Baekjin smiles at people, serves drinks, and counts up cash from the register. A little girl runs over to him and he picks her up, carries her under one arm as he continues working. She rests her head on his shoulder. It can't possibly be him.

    The Baekjin he remembers is frozen in time at eighteen; He had smiles full of bitter venom, wore suits for no reason and never let himself relax for even a second. His Baekjin was equal parts violence and warmth, as searing as an open flame; he could soothe and he could scar.

    This ghost is nothing like that. There are wrinkles around his eyes that show a lifetime of smiles, and the easy way he picks up the girl shows unending patience. Baku feels his whole body become hollow, his stomach lurching at the sight before him.

    Na Baekjin is dead. So how is this real?
