#'Yoo Joonghyuk. (33. Unemployed.)'

[orviposition]

yjh and kdj are so incredibly pathetic at the way they mourn each other like what do you mean yjh has locked himself up in his room, muttering gibberish for a week straight. wdym yjh is constantly clicking the tv remote rewinding the scene kdj got kidnapped over and over

wdyfm kdj knelt on the ground like a man who has lost everything over half of yjh dying what do u mean he walks around like a dead man after yjh broke up with him

[cannot-be-cyn]

yanno yoo joonghyuk is a hilarious character. at the beginning, he fought a terrorist. then, in the end, he became the terrorist.

[anthyies]

[rusquared]

drabble idea so i can enjoy the act of sharing my thoughts without the time investment of writing shit down:

han sooyoung stopped writing. she couldn't hold a pen with the same careless ease anymore. not after everything that her own hands had caused. she can grade essays and she'll even bicker with dokja about the quality of the random books he picks up. but she won't write. she still flinches when joonghyuk brushes past her and is so real. she won't write.

joonghyuk pisses her off, as usual, about something or the other. in return she leaves a sticky note on top of an embarrassing gift for him. something petty and annoying. joonghyuk tries to ignore her. so she starts leaving them on his door. "yjh is a bastard" "supreme king, 33, unemployed" etc. they increase every week and yjh, for all his cleanliness, never removes them.

sometimes she gets risky. "yoo joonghyuk will do as i, han sooyoung, command". she pretends she didn't already do this to him in two separate worldlines. "today, the supreme king shall make tteokbokki for the black flames empress" "tonight, the supreme king shall not complain about the dishes being done" "this week, the supreme king will not say no to karaoke night"

something about referring to him in the 3rd person is funny, and she keeps it up. but she finds herself leaving sticky notes in her room, too. "what does it mean to be an actor?" "young girl. creates underground fight club" "what's a good magic system in a world based in space?"

han sooyoung never prided herself for creativity, or passion. she just knew how to write, and how to write well (ignoring the one time she wrote in the sloppiest, most verbose, and most passionate way possible). so these little notes don't mean anything to her. it's nothing of note. the view from the window just looked interesting this afternoon. "kim dokja still uses government name in online forums" "yoo sangah -> sadist? enjoys arguing with senators" notes. notes. notes. she's just making observations, is all.

without the avatar skill, and with the system barely there, her mind is quiet. no predictions being made. whatever plot comes to mind is no longer the most probable or best written.

one day, dokja bursts into her room to complain about something or the other. she's asleep at her desk. in front of her, the wall is a rainbow of colors. dokja can't peel his eyes away. what he had always reached for. what none of the other books, as good as they were, could give him. tls123's writing.

it's disjointed and mixed, multiple plot ideas picked up and dropped, no coherent order to it all. but he gathers as many as he can without her noticing, and tiptoes to his room. joonghyuk, watching from the doorway, says nothing. he places the tea he had prepared next to sooyoung's sleeping figure and covers her with a blanket.

when sooyoung slips into dokja's bedroom on another sleepless night permeated by what if he's not there?, she freezes. he has placed all the sticky notes he could gather on his own wall. lovingly arranged in order. some even having miniature sticky notes of their own with his thoughts and questions. the boy so hungry for her stories went ahead and pieced them together on his own. han sooyoung won't write again. but kim dokja will always be her #1 reader.

Happy birthday to the one and only sunfish bastard Yoo Joonghyuk. Our (former) regressor, the spacefarer, supreme king, conquering king, puppet of the oldest dream, (I cannot spell his name) Kaixenix, the punisher, breaking the sky sword beauty, 33 unemployed, the one who ate dirt, etc etc etc…

And Secretive Plotter too <3 the one who hides under the veil of stars but can never hide from the gaze that is called The Reader. May you both have happy lives with your found families or succeed in your search to complete that found family.

[emoyuuta]

what's so funny about "the terrorist, Supreme king Yoo Joonghyuk (33, unemployed)" is that there was literally no need to point out that he is unemployed. like yes you usually state the culprit's profession, but that happens when you need to specify who they are. everybody knows who yjh is tho. they're literally calling him unemployed because they want to make fun of him at this point

[hehearse]

I believe my dearest friend and enemy by tamino is very veryyy yjh and kdj and train song by vashti bunyan is exclusively written for yoo joonghyuk's 33-unemployed-yearner-ass.

tamino - my dearest friend and enemy

yeah i can see your vision... life and death companions, dearest friend and enemy, companion in fighting off the story and source of it all etc etc.... looking away, never properly telling anything important.... kim dokja you fool. agh agh....

vashti bunyan - train song

oh yes. specifically him in space about to give a bunch of writers a concussion. you're absolutely correct about that. the vague goal of doing Something, looking for Someone, searching for your own Place To Be. New Reasons To Be. ach ach.... yjh the 33 unemployed that he is......

[orviposition]

belatedly realizing that next year yjh will be 33 years old

“– The terrorist, Supreme King Yoo Joonghyuk. (33, unemployed)”

ok this is probably rlly important but also what the fuck this description is insane. terrorist. unemployed. yoo joonghyuk i love you

I'm obsessed with this description. Iconic

[pttucker]

The belated realization flooded in. The regressor weary of the scenarios could only carry on because the scenarios existed. Yoo Joonghyuk then began gathering all of his remaining Stories. All these Stories belonging to a man who had finally escaped from the curse of regression bared their collective fangs at Han Sooyoung. "Hit me with everything you've got, Han Sooyoung." ⸢This was Yoo Joonghyuk's last stand.⸥ Every cell in her body was ringing alarm bells. The regressor who had repeated lengthy lifetimes. A certain emotion floated upon those eyes that had been described dozens, hundreds of times before. Han Sooyoung knew very well what that emotion was. Yoo Joonghyuk wished to die in this place. Not by the hands of anyone, but by the existence who had written his very first sentence.

Oh, Joonghyuk. 😭

Oh man, he really doesn't know what to do with himself now that he's reached the end of the scenarios, does he? Or, rather, now that he's reached the end of the scenarios without Dokja and without any hope of getting him back.

Because he was basically created with one purpose in mind - to save Kim Dokja - and even when he became a "real" person, his main goal continued to be reaching the end of the scenarios (with Dokja) and he's failed, and Sooyoung has failed too, and while Sooyoung is just barely managing to hold it together along with the rest of Dokja's group and at least attempting to move on, Joonghyuk was literally created to go through TWSA for a single reader and now he has neither TWSA nor the reader.

That "33, Unemployed" from the prior chapter is hitting pretty hard right about now.

And that's not even getting into the fact that he has severe, repeated trauma built up over thousands of years, as well as the fact that he's always had the option of giving it one more try. As much as he's hated it, has hated the fact that he couldn't really die, it's probably pretty jarring to realize that your reset button has been stolen from you when you've gotten so used to having it as a final resort.

Ughhhh, and Sooyoung noticing his unkempt appearance and remembering how he just disappeared on Mia and his gaming job, not to mention the fact that she was literally able to kick his sword out of his hand. Oh man and she started the fight so mad and basically said she hated him and regretted creating him before realizing that maybe she should have asked him how he's been doing instead...

Or at least been checking up on him since it sounds like Joonghyuk sort of ran off and nobody except Mia really noticed.

My guy has not been living happily ever after, even moreso than everyone else. 😔
