    Summary

    Nan-gam walks out of the warehouse with growing static inside his head that turns into crackling fire around his skull. The pain spreads down his spine until he can feel it on the surface of his skin, lighting him up to the point he stops on the first turn heading to where his car is parked.

    The back of his eyes feels hot when he stares at the dimming sunset beyond. Guts feel like they’re eating each other on the inside. It’s so quiet and peaceful out here, and Nan-gam is all alone when he starts heaving, and heaving, and heaving in pain again. Hurting like Hell again. Deafened ruthlessly. A fist flies to his chest, and he pushes the ache there in hope it can hold it from escalating any further, hard and long enough until his legs can’t support him to stand anymore.

    Alternately: What's missing from episode 8. To me.

    Summary

    See, to Shou, there are two kinds of adults in the world: the kind who mercilessly beat the shit out of people, and the kind who look the other way during the beatings.

    Sometimes, when it was all said and done, they might slip him some ice and a few painkillers, or a plastic water bottle to help rinse the blood out of his mouth, like Serizawa had on a few of the really bad nights, but that was as good as adults ever got.

    Shou goes over for the classic "meet the parents" dinner at the Kageyama house, and it turns out that while you can take the kid out of the extremist paramilitary organization, you can't quite as easily take the trauma out of the kid.

    Summary

    “You brought me here... to check I told the police the right stuff?”

    A pause. 

    “You didn't come to yell. Or hit me. Or even look at me.”

    Baekjin didn't interrupt. The chosen silence hurt more than anything else could have.

    They hadn't collided. They hadn't even met, really. It would be foolish to expect anything… and yet.

    “You haven't fucking asked if I’m okay.”

     

    Or,

    They never disagree on what they did— only on what it meant. In a system built on loyalty and hierarchy, Keum Seongje gradually comes to see Union leader Na Baekjin as an equal. Will Baekjin, however, step outside his sense of responsibility for what he protects and see Seongje as more than a substitute for childhood-friend Baku?
