    I genuinely believe this would have been good even as a standalone found family novel. This was awesome.

    Summary

    Rtawahist scholars have a curious theory about parallel worlds, where the stars of a person’s constellation are weaved in slightly different ways, creating an infinite number of universes where they make different choices, lead different lives. He had told Al-Haitham about it once, who had declared it outlandish and based on pure conjecture, but Kaveh had found the idea interesting.

    Perhaps, then, there exists a world, where Kaveh's life isn’t so at odds with him. Where Kaveh can reach out in this moment and pull Al-Haitham into his arms.

    Summary

    Yoo Joonghyuk’s head tilts, and he looks at Kim Dokja almost curiously, like a house cat watching a flock of doves beyond a glass window pane.

    “I used to think that you made me behave in a way that is unlike myself, but lately I’ve begun to think that what you do to me is exactly how I’m meant to be.”
