And So, Stuck On The Infernal Train, He Reads, And He Reads, And He Reads, Until He Can Read No More.

Whumpril Day 1 - Hug

Also posted on ao3

Han Sooyoung lets out a sigh, looking at the mountain of notes she had spent the past day sorting through.

“All these notes, yet you can’t just stay alive, can you?” She wasn’t talking to anyone. The person she wanted to talk to was long gone. All that was left of him was his piles and piles of writing, on the scenarios, on constellations, on items. Nothing saying where he went or what could bring him home.

She had taken it upon herself to read through all of them, organising their leader’s scattered thoughts into something the rest of them could manage.

Grabbing her summary of what she went through, Han Sooyoung made to stand. Pushing her chair back, her vision went dark as she rose. How long had she been sat there?

Doubling over, she gripped the table. Her vision remained dark, her head rushing. She groaned at the sensations. She knew she had to get closer to the ground, then it would be less of a fall if she passed out.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

“Sooyoung-ssi? Are you alright in there?” Yoo Sangah’s gentle cadence came through the closed surface, a hint of concern in her tone.

Han Sooyoung tried to respond but the pounding doubled in strength, eyes seeing naught but waves of darkness. Another groan emerged from her throat.

“Is that you? I’m coming in,” and the door opened. Yoo Sangah’s gentle cadence was shrouded in what seemed like a halo of heavenly light, but Han Sooyoung knew it was just the too-bright lightbulb in the hallway shining into the poorly lit room.

Yoo Sangah let out a gasp when she saw Han Sooyoung. Her hair was matted, her eyes clamped shut with the eyebags beneath large and noticeable.

She rushed over and wrapped her arms around the writer, holding her close.

“Are you okay? I came to check on you because no one’s seen you all day,” Her concerned words were too loud for Han Sooyoung’s aching head, so she scrunched her eyes further closed and tightened her grip on the table.

When Yoo Sangah saw her do this, she tried to pull them both away from the table, and to the mattress that had been set up for when company members were having sleepless nights in the planning room.

Now speaking in a whisper, Yoo Sangah continued to try and comfort Han Sooyoung

“Do you want to just lay hear and cuddle? Let’s try and get some sleep,” The serene tone combined with the soft covers helped ease some of Han Sooyoung’s pain. She nodded her head, and Yoo Sangah slipped them both under the covers.

And so, as the night wore on, the two ladies slept in peace, leaving thoughts of what was to come aside.

You know for all intents and purposes it was a mercy that Kim Dokja’s body was expelled after his death in the tenth main scenaio

Because how much more fucked would it had been if his corpse was left.

Like he’s died before, Dokja has left corpses before and came back alive. The time limits have changed in the past and his revival has been delayed before.

How long do you think the company would’ve held onto his corpse? How long would they hold off on that funeral?

Would they notice a difference when Dokja’s body went into rigor mortis?

Has his corpse went into rigor mortis before? Because if so they still may hold onto hope.

Would they wait for decomposition to start?

Would they set him up in the usual coffin and check in on it? You know, just in case?

How long would it take the others to get Dokja’s body out of Yoo Joonghyuk’s arms?

Something that makes me crazy in the head that I have seen no one post about is the idea of Yoo Sangah's partners refamiliarizing themselves with her body post-reincarnation.

She is in a different body now. One with different scars, different moles, different creases when she smiles, different ways the fat of her body bunches up.

What else is telling someone I will love you no matter who you are other than learning to love their new body?

Helping her get used to this new and different form, help her feel like she belongs in it. Maybe help her feel that she is loved just as much in it.

Yoohankim! Based on this:

Kim Dokja is a Star because I get the vibes that he is the thing that yoohan look for in the sky also because he’s a Constellation. Han Sooyoung as the sun because without her writing everything, shining light on everything, nothing would exist. Yoo Joonghyuk as the moon because he is constantly changing and showing different parts of himself, and because there is a half of the moon which is always dark, which reminds me of the theme that you can never truly know a person as their whole.

In a world where the scenarios never happened, a different kind of calamity plagues Seoul. Doppelgängers roam the streets, and have done for decades, forcing the world to adopt strict security measures- or risk your flesh being stolen, in more ways than one. Doormen are tasked with putting themselves on the front line to protect ordinary citizens from this threat, and Kim Dokja unwittingly finds himself as one such doorman.

It’s a thankless job, and when Dokja’s building welcomes two new residents, he finds his job only gets more complicated the further he becomes entwined within Yoo Joonghyuk’s life.

A story of hapless, stupid love, in an apocalyptic world that stubbornly refuses to fall.

Reblog this to spread the word, I'm tired of the enshittification of the things I use in my day to day life.

kim dokja is so lame bc he acts all hesitant about jang hayoung and nirvana's gender identities but he has zero fucking problem with using the correct pronouns for asmodeus who is literally an evil demon guy. i guess he only respects trans rights for evil people

Y'know, the funny thing abt kdj being the symbolical ideal for both hsy (the perfect reader, her target audience) and yjh (the perfect witness, the reason for his existence who he wants to meet more than he wants to meet his own creator) is that for them to get to that point at all, they were first enamoured with his humanity

1st of all the went from enemies to frenemies. And then,

They first saw the cocky guy who became a guiding light. They saw the frail kid who needed someone, anyone. THEN they understood what they represented to the reader

I've been thinking about 15 year old kim dokja and I can picture so clearly the kind of quintessential chunni he was

classmates making snarky little comments over his head like "oooh watch out for kim dokja, don't bother him too much, he'll go crazy like his mother and kill you" "that wimp could not fucking touch me haha" "if you sit next to him you'll catch his crazy" stupid kid shit and he stays silent and doesn't raise his head, doesn't give them the satisfaction of a reaction but under the surface he is boiling, he's clenching his fists and bitting his lip, trembling with helpless anger at the wicked unfairness of it all.

when no one is looking, he stared through his bangs at the back of song minwoo's head, thinking "what if I did? what if I stabbed you right now? that would show you" spiteful dark revenge fantasies every sad kid who hates school has, an emotional attempt at self-comfort that doesn't really mean anything

but they're right about him, aren't they. kim dokja DOES have it in him to snap and kill if pushed too far but he has repressed that instinct so deep he doesn't even let himself remember it. so instead he sighs and shakes his head cause it's useless to think about that stuff, just ignore it, don't let him get to you, kim dokja
